Then why the US can veto it’s sell to Colombia?
It’s design is from the 80s. It was first built in the 90s. The maiden flight of the prototype was in 1990.
It’s a General Electric F404 license.
F16 (70s)? F18 (70s)? B2 (80s)? F22 (80s)?
There’s a problem with the engine. It’s an US design and the US just blocked a sell to Colombia. I think Saab should make another design with the Typhoon engine or some other European engine that has roughly the same size and push.
The newer ones (E and F) use the GE F414G.
