FYI: Motoren från SAAB Gripen är från GE och därför berörd av amerikanska ITAR.

Gripen E/F. Gripen C/D använder en Volvomotor.

Volvo motorer RM12 och RM12UP är förbättrad GE F404 motorer och därför ~~kanske~~ är ochså berörd av ITAR.

Fet chans att Frankrike köper utländska flygplan

It's licensed by Volvo right? They can keep making them.

When they make a super gripen or 5g follow on they can use some snecma or something.

No, the engines in Gripen E/F are made by GE. However, engines of Gripen C/D, the type of most operational Gripens, are made by Volvo.

My bad, thought they were all the licensed ones, interesting.

Snecma should be able to help.

That could violate ITAR which could provoke arms sanction from the US.

Vi bör överväga att ersätta motorn mot ett europeiskt alternativ.
