Brazil's FX-2 jet fighter purchase decision put off again


Brazil's long-delayed FX-2 fighter purchase program has been pushed back again, leaving all three leading contractors guessing the outcome, whenever it happens.
Boeing's F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, French manufacturer Dassault's Rafale and Swedish company Saab's JAS-39 Gripen NG are in the race to win the contract to supply Brazil with up to 36 jets.
Brazil's air force is operating a mixed fleet of aging aircraft, including the French Mirage, and many of the jets have gone through repeated upgrades and some have been grounded.
