Brazil Gripen Deal: Saab’s $5.4B Fighter Faces Delays
When Brazil signed its $5.4 billion contract for 36 Saab Gripen fighter jets in 2014, the deal was hailed as a landmark in the nation’s defense modernization. Eleven years later, the promise of cutting-edge air power has turned into a chronicle of delay, inflation, and bureaucratic fatigue. What was supposed to be a swift technology transfer and industrial leap for Brazil’s aerospace sector has become a lesson in how ambitious defense projects falter when politics, production limits, and corporate caution collide.

Dear Diary in Late October 2025
Dear Diary, I've been reading both AI generated articles and real articles written by contributors here at Vocal.media and of course taking in the various topics jumbles up inside my mind like a math formula summing up for some conclusion. That's what this diary entry is - all those words mixing up together in my mind for an opinion, a summation. "Add it Up" sang The Violent Femmes, a band that I enjoyed listening to in my teens. Well, I do. I always do. I used to pride myself on being an excellent critiquer, until I started noticing that most contributors (whether they are serving you food, a product, a service, or some entertaining or educational reading material) want praise, not critique. And now, with AI generated articles, most of the contributors feel that there is nothing to critique because AI is perfect, right? I don't think so. I've read some of the AI generated articles. The format is shiny, the grammar and spelling mistakes absent, and the presentation is pretty --- like those photos of the perfect hamburger complete with decorative garnish. But when you go order the REAL hamburger, it doesn't look exactly like the photograph. Why not? Oh, that's right, there is a difference between REAL and Photo-Shopped. Like the difference between a real mother who breast feeds her children and a mother who would never let a baby suck on her breasts because that's "disgusting".
