I don't think it's that far fetched, the Swedes are seeking a development partner with carrier experience. Looks reasonable on paper at least, the Gripen is already built for rough operations. But, the competition is stiff..
Note that the third slide is showing a Gripen with Norwegian markings..
Anybody want to be the first to buy a carrier based aircraft from a company that's never built one? Me neither.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree but I did find it interesting to finally see the vapor ware that is the Sea Gripen.
