Blog recommendation

If you can read Swedish, I can recommend this blog.
It’s an ex military pilot from the SWAF that writes about the Swedish defence in general. And some more stuff related to his interests.

In this post he gives us his thinking about the Indian MMRCA competition, where the down select is between the Eurofighter and the Rafale.
His thoughts are that he would be very surprised if the Eurofighter was selected, due to it’s low maturity in the A2G arena. And the long list of technical and reliability problems.

And, the cost for each flight hour, that is about 30 000 Euros! Gripen, in his words, are about 30 000 Sek, witch equals to about 3200 Euros.



Gripen is a bargain, I must say.

(3200 Euros is around $4150)
