 　　巴西将从瑞典购买36架战斗机

　　RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian authorities announced Wednesday it has decided1 to award a Swedish company a contract for the purchase of 36 fighter jets to modernize2 its air force fleet.
　　According to a source from Brazil's Air Force, the Brazilian government decided on Swedish company Saab's Gripen jets after inspecting the F/A-18 Super Hornet made by the U.S. aviation giant Boeing company and French Dassault's Rafale. The deal, worth 4.5 billion U.S. dollars, has been struck after negotiations3 of about some 10 years.
　　The negotiations with the U.S. were reportedly tense following revelations of U.S. spying on Brazil, while the Rafale jets were considered too expensive.
　　Defense4 Minister Celso Amorim said the Swedish company was given the contract based on a combination of factors concerning Gripen, including the fighter aircraft's performance, assurances of full technology transfer and overall costs.
