Gripen Sales Stragegy

Saab sees as many as 500 Gripens being sold worldwide.

I tend to agree. I think that the Gripen is the Mirage III of this era, offering the equivalent performance of its counterparts for somewhere around half the price.

There are some tradeoffs in payload and range, though less so for the heavier variant they are now offering, but the new aircraft out there are too damn expensive.
