I wonder what kind of deal SAAB might be willing to do to offer Poland surplus early generation JAS 39 C/D Griphens as it plans to replace its early purchase with new generation E/F's.


I appreciate that Poland is an existing F16 operator and that may sway their thinking but the Griphen is a worthy competing option as I suspect that any ex USAF F16's will have been worked hard and that the Griphen fleet that Sweden may have to sell will have a relatively quiet life on mainly domestic Air Defence duties/sortie profiles.
