Und hier noch ein Bericht vom 17.03.2014:

Zitat:The JAS 39E will be able to engage stealth targets with a fused, multispectral sensor suite (see article below).....It will be able to cruise at Mach 1.25 without using afterburner, and will enter service in 2018 with a full suite of weapons including the MBDA Meteor ramjet-powered air-to-air missile (which enters service next year on the JAS 39C/D).

Zitat:The Swedish air force's fixed-price contract for 60 complete aircraft, converted from JAS 39Cs but with new engine, avionics and primary structure, equates to a flyaway price of $43 million.

Zitat:In conjunction with the all-new Saab-developed electronic warfare system, which uses gallium nitride antenna technology and is described as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sensor in its own right, and the new Selex-ES Brite Cloud expendable active decoy, the reduced RCS is expected to allow the fighter to survive against advanced threats, including the Sukhoi T-50 fighter and “double-digit” surface-to-air missiles,

Zitat:The JAS 39E is intended to have a lower acquisition cost than the JAS 39C, despite its greater capability, and to have a lower operating cost than any other fighter. The Swedish air force reports an hourly operating cost of $7,500 for the JAS 39C, including fuel. For development costs (also covered by a fixed-price contract),

Das ist ein wesentlicher Punkt: Der Staatsvertrag mit Schweden garantiert hier absolute Preissicherheit. Man erhält eine bestimmte Leistung für exakt 43 Mio Dollar Flyaway pro Maschine.

Selbst wenn die F-35 durch ein Wunder (das sich hoffentlich gerade am Horizont anbahnt) auf 80 Mio Dollar drücken ließe, wäre die Gripen E immer noch halb so teuer, von den Betriebskosten ganz zu schweigen.

Zitat:The first of three JAS 39E development aircraft (known as 39-8, 39-9 and 39-10) will fly in the first half of 2015, the company says. 39-9 will follow about nine months later, and 39-10—basically a full-production aircraft but fitted with flight-test instrumentation—will fly in 2017.

Und wenn nicht, sinkt der Preis erheblich dank staatlicher Garantien (Staatsvertrag mit Schweden).
