8/25/2008 | The Saab response is an all inclusive package comprising 85 Gripen NG aircraft, training, spares, simulators and support at a price that fits well into the Dutch defence budget.

Saab is well prepared to offer industrial co-operation to at least 100 percent of the total value of a possible contract, which would generate significant economic benefits and employment within the Dutch high-tech industry.

Gripen NG is a true multi-role fighter aircraft, fulfilling all the capabilities the Royal Netherlands Air Force has specified in its request, such as combat range and endurance, weapons carriage capability, engine thrust and super cruise capability.
