The decision  was made, according to Folha, after the manufacturer reduced from US8.2 billion to US6.2 billion. Even with the reduction, the French fighter is much more expensive than its competitors: the proposed model Gripen NG, the Swedish Saab, was $ 4.5 billion, and the F-18 Super Hornet, the U.S. Boeing, U.S. $ 5.7 billion.
