Creia que con la actualización esa de 900 millones (P2b) bastaba, el t3 lo lleva de 'serie' dice, y el T2 necesita pruebas aerodinamicas o de desenganche? en este avion todo es demasiado complicado.

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — NATO-member Croatia said Wednesday it has approached seven other countries to buy a squadron of multi-role fighter jets for its air force .
The Croatian government bid for a dozen used or new aircraft has been sent to the U.S., Sweden, France, Italy, Norway, Greece and Israel.
The wish list includes American, Israeli, Norwegian and Greek F-16s, the Swedish Saab JAS Gripen, the French Rafale and Italy’s Eurofighter jets.
Last year Croatia opted for 12 used Israeli F-16 fighter jets, but the $500 million deal fell through.
W ashington had insisted on Israel stripping off upgrades that were added after Israel took delivery of the aircraft from the U.S. some 30 years ago.
The sophisticated electronics and radar systems were crucial in Croatia’s decision to buy the F-16s from Israel instead of from the U.S. or Greece, which had also bid for the contract.
Croatia’s government said it expects to receive the new offers by May and make the decision by August.
Croatia faces a mini arms race with neighboring Russian ally Serbia, which recently received 10 used Russian MiG-29 fighter jets.
Croatia joined NATO in 2009 and the European Union in 2013.
Croatia is currently looking at second-hand aircraft to replace the old MiG-21 fleet. At the beginning of the year the Croatian government was close to signing a deal with Israel to buy 12 F-16 Block 40 combat aircraft when the United States blocked the sale. Washington has imposed on Israel to eliminate non-base system upgrades on aircraft, but Croatia considered these features to be a decisive clause in the agreement.
Zagreb must now start looking at the market to select new alternatives and could take advantage of the Eurofighter Tranche 1 surplus from the Italian Air Force. The Italian aircraft have already been proposed by Leonardo to Bulgaria, but the Bulgarian MoD is strongly intent on buying the new Lockheed Martin F-16 Viper (Block 70/72) variant. The Croatian Air Force uses its fighter jets mainly for air defense and the Eurofighter T1 can cover this role better than other second-hand aircraft on the market. Typhoon is definitely one of the most decisive aircraft in the doghfight and even without the entire suite of weapons, it is still lethal.
Croatian pilots have already been able to assess the capabilities of Eurofighter last summer as the RAF sent two Typhoons to Zagreb to conduct a joint exercise. This cooperation has shown how the introduction of the Eurofighter is crocial to allow an excellent integration with the armed forces of other European nations and NATO members. Within a few years, the Typhoon and the F-35 will equip the main fleets of Western countries.
