Henry240:Do you have the contract stipulating precisely what the purchase price includes?? Or are you just speculating?? The price for our Gripen included training and maintenance....of which the maintenance contract was renewed a few years ago. And we paid 65 mil and the Gripen is worth every penny. Even if the price includes 30 years of service(which i highly doubt) it still wont get to 50mil......maintenance for a smallprop aircraft is about half a million a year give or take. 2 Likes |

jln115: The general idea of the SAAF Gripen contract is known. The contract for the A-29 is not known. I doubt if your Gripen contract included training, you have been unable to produce any decent amount of pilots for a fighter which is easy to fly, as SAAB claims. No Sir, the Gripen should not be worth above 25 million dollars, based on available facts and when compared to other aircrafts in its class. I'm going to leave it at this. 1 Like |

jln115: The answer is simple bro. We have to pay for the 59 tomahawk missiles used in Syria with some extra yet to be used before getting the propeller plane. Can someone tell me why Afghanistan got 20 for 400+ million plus maintenance and training and Nigeria would get 12 of the same jet for 600 million. Are we getting technology transfer? This is really funny. 5 Likes |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:33pm On Apr 11, 2017 |
Henry240:Actually our contract dit include training....its well documented , our pilots were sent to seweden in the early 2000s years before the first gripen arrived and just after we signed the contract in 1999. 14 Gripen pilots and 52 hawk pilots have been trained...and besides from being finacially unfeasable the reasons we dont have a full complement of 26 gripen pilots is well documented. Well its good you admitted you are not an expert, since the experts at the royal thai airforce chose the Gripen over the su30 which is much cheaper and much better according to you. 3 Likes |

jln115: jln115: You are as confused as they come, clearly. Come back and talk to me when there is verifiable....... Any evidence at all that the SAAF has more than 9 Gripen pilots. The easy plane to fly has become an herculean task for the SAAF. 5 Likes |

Henry240: Yeah, because MONEY has nothing to do with it, jackass. 13 Pilots is more than decent considering the number of pilots you have for 4th gen is ZERO and the number of 4th Gen you have ordered is THREE Henry240: Because you are a fvcking biased idiot who has no idea what he is talking about "He argues that the Gripen won the [South African] Alfa competition because of price (fly-away price, complete package price), life-cycle costs and financing" http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/print-version/the-air-forces-gripen-fighters-are-delivering-operationally-and-industrially-2012-06-15 The operational cost of the Swedish Saab Gripen aircraft is the lowest among a flightline of modern fighters, confirmed a White Paper submitted by the respected international defense publishing group IHS Jane’s, in response to a study commissioned by Saab. http://www.stratpost.com/gripen-operational-cost-lowest-of-all-western-fighters-janes/ Gripen is the most cost effective platform, fact.

MikeCZA: To be honest the A109 is the only thing we got from the arms deal that I am not wild about. Its... an awkward platform. Its like halfway between an Alouette and an Oryx... weird size. I have allways wondered why we didnt just get more Lynx's instead... or BK117's 1 Like
