TLDR: They didn't clash, but merely shared their insights, which were actually quite similar.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

The insight we needed. Thank you.
From now on, I'm only buying Saab Gripen fighter jets for my family at Christmas.
All the cool kids fly Eurofighter tho
A Gripen is very cool, tho. :)
I see enough space for both: those who want a twin engine solution can take that route, those who want a smaller single engine jet take the Gripen
Oh no, the community has been overtaken by warring richkids. :/
I am sure Pepsi is going to sell some for cheap soon.
I'll race you on my Rafale..
American engine so it's not a viable option for obvious reasons unfortunatly. Eurofighter or rafale is more european I guess or are they bad too?
Including foreign producers keeps the local ones honest, otherwise they will overcharge even worse than usual.
It would be probably best to just use some of the money to nationalize a few local producers instead if you really want to push for local production only. But obviously you will not read about that option in the Financial Times.
Maybe publicly include them, but then only buy "local" - that way the offers stay fair and you get the best of both deals!
Well, you need to be a bit smarter about it, otherwise the bidders will know about your plan to buy only local and ripp you off anyways. It's very hard as a state to keep such ideas secret.
This question changes a lot depending on if the non-EU partner in question is the US or a country like South Korea
