If India chooses the Gripen fighter jet, then the choice of the private Indian company to partner with Sweden’s SAAB to build the aircraft should be the Indian Government’s and “nobody else’s”, Swedish Air Force Chief Maj Gen Mats Eric Helgesson said on Thursday. “If the Indian Government chooses the Gripen, the Indian Government should also chose what kind of counterpart when it comes to industrial cooperation,” he said in an interview to The Hindu. He is on a visit to India on the invitation of his Indian counterpart Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa.
