“It is extremely frustrating to say the least, and I can say that it is not about the [Gripen] product that we have developed and manufactured. If it had been a completely level playing field in terms of not talking about security, politics, and other areas, then I think we would have been much better off [in terms of securing sales],” Johansson said, adding, “In many countries, the leverage of the US is tremendous. They are not so easy to work against [in the market], and it is politics.”
And this is the problem with the fighter that has parts from all over Europe and USA. Piss off any one of the vendors, your jet becomes a hanger queen. The supply chain is hilariously complicated; who in their right mind buys this ? Brazilians got a fat bribe I feel.
