Yea but Gripen is Saabs only game. Do you expect Boeing to push the f-18 over the F-16?
Also look at the Hornets, they are specialized aircraft with lots of unneeded weight. Its a carrier plane. The hornet has done great in that we have sold carrier planes to people that don't have carriers.
The only other customer that should have been interested in the hornets is France. They are the only other country with a real aircraft carrier. And we know they were not going to buy them.
