Interesting. I wonder why they're considering the Gripen instead of the Eurofighter Typhoon (German/British/Italian/Spanish) or Dassault Rafale (French). To be honest I really don't know what the differences would be.

    The interesting feature of the gripen is it's ability to land on rural roads. Sweden has many of those and Canada also. Another interesting feature is it's maintainability, just 6 man crew, fuel and ammo on a road between nowhere is enough for the gripen.
