Gripen NGs for Argentina..!
defense-aerospace.com is today reporting that Argentina and Brazil have signed an agreement to strengthen aerospace cooperation, with a purchase of 24 Gripen NGs produced by Embraer in the works:
Quote: "Minister Agustín Rossi also announced the decision of the Argentine government to begin negotiations to purchase 24 Swedish-designed Gripen NG combat aircraft that will be produced in Brazil. The conditions of purchase, as well as the eventual Argentine participation in the production of these aircraft, will be the subject of negotiations in the coming months between representatives of the two countries."
Interesting ramifications for the Typhoon chaps down in the FI if this comes to pass. I guess Clarkson REALLY upset the Argentinians with that license plate a few weeks ago?!
