they would rather buy a glitching Swedish aircraft that keeps falling out of the sky, that's how weird things have got
Back in the ColdWar, the USA slowly started to achieve a level of air supremacy but the old Saab 37 Viggen was interesting, it never really sold to other markets but Swedish pilots had an interesting feat an intercept the SR-71 which would have saved the USA a lot of political embarrassment if the USA hadn't know the Blackbird could be shot out of the sky.
they built a new one but its wonky, at least 10 incidents, including nine hull-loss accidents, including loss of life, they made a flying kamikaze bomb not an aircraft
the Swedistani sell them at discount prices, I guess the Swedish engineering ain't what it used to be in the new Swedish Air Force
