If Dassault can be brought into the fold, why can't SAAB? We need a Gripen-C

[colin5392]

If Dassault can be brought into the fold, can't ED liaise with SAAB, to onboard them and/or a preferred 3rd dev to consider creating a Gripen-C for DCS?

Then we would have the Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen to combat the American jets in Dissimilar air combat training (DACT)

I like the way you're thinking We'll see in time. Up until recently, Rafale was a big no-no and things changed. Maybe in the future opportunities open up for a Gripen as well. 

Oh, what I'd give to have it in DCS...

I know at one point Heatblur was proactive in asking SAAB.

 

If I recall the datalink was the hold up?

Last I heard because Saab doesn't really need money right now
