I have a few points/questions:

1 Gripen JAS 39E/F is being developed, which is a modern version. That means we will produce older versions, so why choose that.
2 About 200 Gripen are built till 2010 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Group). It is exotic in quantity compared to other fighters. All countries which operate Gripen dont face much threat. It is not something that other larger Air Forces around the world have relied on.
3 "The Swedish government for its part prohibits any Gripen sales that could involve a nuclear role." (http://www.defense-aerospace.com/ar...ve-to-f_35-if-belgium-keeps-nuke-mission.html). SAAB may change its stance now, but you could say that if it never wanted countries to operate one it never designed such a fighter. Contrast this with F-16 or Rafale.

if contract is signed today then production will start after many years ................that means India will get latest version .

we already have many planes which can carry nukes like Rafael , jaguar ,sukhoi 30mki..................they can do that job so we dont need nuclear capable Gripen .

operating & maintenance cost of gripen is very very low .

but they dont have much technologies to share ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,most of the subsystems are not Swedish .

full control?over what?

wrong ................

radar , EW systems are made in Italy ........display made in Israel ...............

Well, Gripen E is still in Development and have not made its first flight.

So, All said capabilities have not been Tested with Grippen E. Unless it gets FOC by IAF standard, its not even worth to look at it.

Who knows, it may crash in its first few flight !!

SAAB Grippen has History of Crash during Development !!

Crashes during testing

February 1989

On 2 February 1989, the first prototype JAS 39-1 crashed on its sixth flight, when attempting to land in Linköping. The accident was filmed in a now famous recording by a crew from Sveriges Television's news program Aktuellt.[1] The pilot, Lars Rådeström, remained in the tumbling aircraft, and escaped with a fractured elbow and some minor injuries. The crash was the result of pilot-induced oscillation (PIO). Extremely gusty winds also contributed.[2]
August 1993

On 8 August 1993, a production JAS 39A Gripen (serial number 39-102[2]) crashed on the central Stockholm island of Långholmen, near the Västerbron bridge, when the aircraft stalled after a slow speed manoeuver during a display over the Stockholm Water Festival. The crash was, like the first one, caused by pilot-induced oscillation, and caught on film.[3] The pilot – Rådeström again – ejected from the aircraft, and landed safely by parachute, though he became stuck in a tree. The aircraft fell to the ground and caught fire on impact. Despite large crowds of onlookers, only one person on the ground was injured,[a] and the fire was soon put out.

The aircraft had been delivered to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration in June, only two months prior to the crash.[2] The display flight was not classified as in-service, because it was being flown at a display by a test pilot, rather than a Swedish Air Force officer.

Money for sweedish welfare state :biggrin2:

Saab has nothing substantial to offer to India.
It's already 2017 when are we going to say goodbye to the greedy gripen
