In view of the requirement of Indian Air Force (IAF) for light fighter aircrafts, Swedish company Saab has offered its highly regarded JAS 39 Gripen E light fighter. Saab want to go for government-to-government deal and would be happy to partner the Defence R&D Organisation (DRDO), Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) or an Indian private company in not just manufacturing fighters in India, but in developing real capabilities for building a single-engine fighter for the IAF.
