Linked National Post on purpose. Given their bias I believe they'd present the worst case scenario.

E: Apparently the article is from 2016 so the cost is likely higher today.

Would love to see some buy in on Saabs next gen project

Why does Lemmy have such a love for Saab fighter jets? Gripen is a lovely looking jet, but the Typhoon is a lot more capable.

But does the Eurofighter come in a flat pack with an allen key and a booklet that vaguely indicates how to assemble it?

I'm not privy to high level procurement stuff like this, but unless every part is manufacturable in country all drawings/plans/source code/test data etc available and modifiable is there a significant advantage?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

Sorry but my source for procurement doesn't have that level of detail for the Gripen. It may be classified.
