Data: Dassault SAAB JAS 39 Rafale Gripen Initial Order: 294 Units 204 Units It's correct that a total of 204 Gripens have been ordered for the RSwAF, but what about the 28 Gripen ordered for the SA Air Force? http://www.saab.se/node3299.asp?id=199909150067 http://www.saab.se/node3299.asp?id=199909160042 Don't they count? Perhaps they are not technically "initial order" (but then, neither is 204, IIRC, first order was like 30 planes). At any rate, export prospects of Gripen are considerably brighter than those of Rafale... At any rate,it's considerably cheaper At any rate,it's considerably lighter At any rate,it's considerably more exportable... (Both are good aircrafts,though) I would dispute that the Gripen in more exportable. There is some U.S. content in the Gripen which requires U.S. export approval for third party sales. I don't think that's the case with the Rafale. -- Harry Andreas Engineering raconteur
