Well, Rooivalk would be a good "counter-purchase" for the Gripen we sold South Africa.

Well, there are lots of Cobra airframes around and spares for them. So Jordan can get replacements. Also the king having blood ties to th US means he has a good chance of getting Cobra replacements or even Apaches if he wants. Just maybe not advanced Hellfires.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Rooivalk in other counties service. I wonder how it would do myself. I looked on the net is are there less than 20 Rooivalk? I see that SA ordered 12. Are there more orders?
