Dunno about that. The Israeli military budget is, I imagine, larger
than the Swedish one (even if Sweden does have more people). Also
the Gripen project was more successful than the Lavi project -- I'm
not sure about how much money was spend on developing each plane,
but I suspect the sums were similar.
