Saudi Fighter Purchase

[adsH]

From what I here, the choice is between Typhoon or Rafale. I honestly have not heard of anything in regards to the F-15.

The key to any deal will be economic offsets and further development of the armed forces - from the current maintanence, infrastructure and training to newer aspects like C4I. With regards to these aspects and the RSAF especially, I feel BAE are in just too strong a position in-country to let the French in.

But you never know!!

The SAF does have an impressive C4i Networking capability, theyve recently upgraded there E3 Fleet. And are probably going to purchase the eyrie so if i were to pick a one of the Two fighter mentioned above i would choose one that fits the two systems ie paring is very important. Hint BAe has close relations to the Saab and we do-operate the E3D's here. For saudis we've always been there for them, they've never been denied Assistance in defense.
