It's disappointing seeing aviation fans complaining the Indians didn't fall for politics and selected a fighter based on capability and price.
The Gripen was in the competition, together with F16, Super Hornet, Mig-35 and Eurofighter, but all except the Typhoon dropped out in December. Rafale and Eurofighter went into the last phase of the competition and the Rafale won. It was a good competition based on performance, capabilities and in the final, price. I wish all military contracts would be awarded this way.
