Estos son los resultados de la comparación:

1. Lockheed Martin F-35 (Estados Unidos) 47 puntos

2. Boeing F / A-18 Super Hornet (Estados Unidos) 42p.

3. Eurofighter Typhoon (Reino Unido / Alemania / España / Italia) 38,5 p.

4. Dassault Rafale (Francia) 34,5 p.

5. Saab Gripen E (Suecia) 33 p.

Las puntuaciones máximas teóricas para la comparación fueron de 65 puntos.

Según Perttula, las diferencias entre los tipos de máquinas eran, en muchos aspectos, bastante pequeñas. Cada candidato ganó al menos una función en la comparación.

En la comparación, el Gripen E fue el último porque, por ejemplo, el programa de vuelo de prueba de la aeronave aún está en progreso y, por lo tanto, existen riesgos asociados con el uso operativo.

La severa posición de Rafale probablemente se deba en parte al silencio casi total del contenido de la oferta hecha a Finlandia.

La posición de Eurofighter se vio afectada por las dudas sobre la larga duración del desarrollo del radar AESA y la adquisición de una mejor capacidad de ataque electrónico.

Orel escribió:Bandua, creo que fue aquí donde ya lo comenté, pero por si acaso repito: salvo que sean F-16 de segunda mano muy baratos para canibalizar, adquirir ahora tantos F-16 nuevos en mi opinión supone un gasto difícilmente compatible con estar en el momento en que más gasto tienen que hacer en el TF-X y su motor.

Atticus escribió:En realidad, el quinta turco sin la ayuda americana esta totalmente muerto. Sencillamente no tienen motor... salvo que se vayan a rusia a comprarlo, lo cual no arreglaria precisamente las cosas. Y Europeo tampoco parece que este nada accesible. Si no mejoran la relacion con USA a traves del F16 el caza local tambien se les cae, no es una cuestion de "gap"solamente. Y no esta tan facil para los USA aceptar el tema de los F16 como se pretende. Muy bien tendrian que vender la cosa como para evitar dar la impresion de que son ellos los que se bajan los pantalones y las restricciones.
