Joe Ga didn't put any confidentiality measures in place for the club, but he didn't expect the news here to spread so quickly, and for those giant corporations to act so swiftly after catching wind of it.
The 'Jaguar' from the old motherland and Sweden's 'Gripen' both wanted to join the competition for the United Arab Emirates order.
A 15 billion US Dollar order makes many people drool with envy!
As two fighter jets with considerable features in the world fighter jet trade, they clearly don't want to miss this opportunity.
Compared to Rafale and MiG-35, Jaguar and Gripen might be slightly inferior in terms of capability, but they have a high cost-effectiveness.
No one's money just blows in with the wind; Rafale's export price is about 200 million US Dollars, Jaguar only 50 million, and Gripen slightly more at 90 million.
