Analysis: Why 2009 could be the year of the Gripen
The next 18 months will see Brazil, Croatia, Denmark, India, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania and Switzerland make final selections for their respective fighter procurement competitions, with sales of up to 523 aircraft worth at least USD35 billion-USD40 billion at stake.
It will be a truly crucial period in shaping the future of the global fighter market.
The common link between these eight contests is the presence of the Saab Gripen in the bidding process. So far the Gripen's success in the export market has been limited, with contracts for 60 aircraft in place across the Czech Republic (14), Hungary (14), South Africa (26) and Thailand (6). Saab hopes, and Jane's Defence Forecasts believes, that the next 18 months may se -->>

Concern over China’s suspected weapon test
Testing of an anti-satellite weapon threatens Washington’s dominance of space.
EVENT
A variety of regional and extra-regional states have expressed concern about a suspected, although not publicly confirmed, anti-satellite weapon (ASAT) test by China on 11 January
The test most likely destroyed the Chinese, low Earth orbit (LEO) Feng Yun-1C (FY-1C) meteorological satellite with a kinetic impact missile. The FY-1C passed over central China on 11 January, making the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in Sichuan province the most probable launch site for the ASAT.
The utility of such anti-satellite measures to China is evident. An anti-ballistic missile system utilised by the US may rely on LEO satellites for early warning capabili -->>
