受美国强行干预 以色列放弃为印度开发新型战机

耶路撒冷邮报披露,以色列航空航天工业正在计划开发一种新的模型，制造商为瑞典 Saab萨博，新型鹰式战机将被印度订购,价值数十亿美圆.美国国防部这将牵扯美国技术外泻,禁止以色列执行该合同,以色列最终只能放弃.

Jerusalem: Israel has dropped out of a multi-billion dollar joint venture with a Swedish firm to develop new fighter jets for India because of US pressure, a newspaper reported on Monday.


Israel Aerospace Industries was planning to develop a new model of the Swedish-made Gripen fighter jet with its manufacturer, Saab, to compete in a tender to sell the planes to India's armed forces, the Jerusalem Post said.


But the state-owned firm backed out on the orders of the Israeli defence ministry "after the Pentagon expressed concern that American technology, used by Israel, would be integrated into the Gripen," the newspaper said.
