Brazil has a very closed economy.
Very high import duties, except for a few favored nations.
If you want to sell it in Brazil, you have to make it there.
I just got back from Brazil two weeks ago. Their economy is booming. The middle class is growing and it is very upscale.

Why don’t they just have an “American Idol” based phone vote for who gets picked while they are at it. Far better than quietly picking the superior product for their defense needs.

why DOES Brazil need fighter aircraft? It’s not like they’re going to war with any of their neighbors. They need choppers more to fight illegal loggers, drug lords, etc.

"We want technology to build the aircraft in Brazil, and for Brazil to be an exporter of these jets," he said. Except for the Japanese, nobody does trade as one sided as Brazil.
