Eurofighters are not American afaik. You're just trying to sell grippens aren't you?!?
Stop that, many people quietly know how good grippens are but you do need a 5th or 6th gen aircraft to top out the lineup.

My point is that the F-35 depends on US technology which could be disabled by the US on Trump's whim so is not reliable. I'll leave it to others to compare the Grippen with the Eurofighter but either would be better than an F-35 with its avionics disabled.

Interesting point about the British input to the F-35 though.
That probably wouldn’t be an issue when Europe is at war, but during peacetime when production volumes need maintaining to keep unit costs low?
