Interesting topics here guys. One thing that I don't understand and it seems nobody talks about is range, Brazil is a huge country with airfields separate by thousands of KM, IIRC the Gripen is short legged for Brazil unless they plan to use them only in the coastal more developed areas.
What do you think?
BTW Crazyhorse talks about Chilean viper superiority, is ok, but have you seen Chile? Is a really narrow country, easily cut in half or worse even by few troops. Also a very important things you may or may not know, Chileans are not really apreciatted in any South American country, nobody likes them!! Neither Perú, Bolivia, Brazil or Argentina, so they better keep those Vipers defending their country.
