Cool toys eh? However I have some doubts if we really can afford to pay 20 billion CZK for 14 fighters Confused

... but at least I dont have to watch sky for falling Migs-21 anymore lol.

Yeah, they had offers for used F16s and F/A18s, but decided for new Gripens. They say its becouse Gripens are better, but IMHO it was becouse of price (was lower) and also Sweden agreed to make 25 billion investments in CZ in next ten years AND most important reason - Saab/BAE's bribe was higher than those from Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas.

BTW our fighters will be armed with US missiles - 9M version of Sidewinders (short range missile) and C5 version of AMRAAMs (mid range missile). Contracts have been already signed, so US companies will get some nice money from our taxes too hehe.

I remember Sidewinders and AMRAAMs from many games, cos I used to like flight sims. US NAVY Fighters was a genial game, I think I have fired hundreds of Sidewinders and AMRAAMs against all sorts of enemies. Smile

Heh btw dont think I am some blood-thirsty military supporter, I am usually against any military investments (like tanks and other useless (for us) scrap), but as I said I always liked flight sims so it was good feeling when Gripens finally arrived to replace our only 4 (four) functional 25+ years old Migs 21. Smile

But true is that costs for having these fighters are enormous. Confused

I think Ireland have already equiped army, so thats maybe why you dont see nothing in media... dont forget we have to buy everything new, cos there was nothing usable from soviet era...

btw you are safe for now, we are going to conquer nations closer to us first. Razz
