Brazil delays the deadline for the resumption of the tender for the purchase of 36 multi-role fighter for the Air Force. Again, about 6 months.
The favorite tender is considered the Dassault Aviation Rafale, mainly due to the strong support given by former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, declaring a full transfer of technology and strong commitment of France in the Brazilian nuclear program, which is reflected in such assistance in the construction of nuclear OP. Disclosed to Wikileaks dispatches indicate that the U.S. military prefers Boeing. Swedish Saab is seen as an outsider of tender.
Brazilian Air Force Command has asked bidders in a tender for 36 multi-role fighter - with Dassault Aviation Rafale, Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet from Saab and Gripen - a renewal of offers, extending the deadline for submission of 6 months. Expires on 31 December this year. The term is moved for the fourth time.
The selection procedure of modern multi-role aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force began in 2001, and after a few years to be interrupted for financial reasons. It was resumed in January 2008, and concerned the purchase of 36 machines with a full transfer of technology. As a result of lengthy procedures, has failed to be resolved before the presidential election campaign in 2010. Currently, the process was not accelerated, despite the constant declarations of willingness to complete the tender.
Many observers considered that moving the deadlines associated with willingness to lower the price offered aircraft.
