Gripen E data link, EW , KF-21 interceptor, for attacking ground, sea surface, close air support less expensive jet can do that... think that money is the problem..you dont send pricey $60 million dollar jets to attack ground targets.... of course if the USA will shoulder the costs of the F-16C block 30s... that would be fair exchange...
The S.Korean Boramae will still begin production in 2027 and has a waiting ist of countries that made their orders. Time is flying fast and the Swedish Gripen offer is logical and affordable.
KF21 is also good for air to air attack while F16 viper is for both along with safety features and SAAB is distance figther along with both attack and defense from air to ground and air to air.
