1. SWEDISH EMBOFF HAS INFORMED US THAT MAIN INDIAN NEGOTIATOR
WITH SWEDES ON VIGGEN AT NEW DELHI END HAS BEEN MRS. GANDHI'S
OLER SON, RAJIV GANDHI. LATTER'S ONLY ASSOCIATION WITH
AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY (TO OUR KNOWLEDGE) HAS BEEN AS PILOT
FOR INDIAN AIRLINES AND THIS IS FIRST TIME WE HAVE HEARD
HIS NAME AS ENTREPRENEUR.
2. SWEDISH EMBOFF SAYS THAT DASSAULT HAS SON-IN-LAW
OF INDIAN AIR MARSHALL MEHRA AS ITS CHIEF NEGOTIATOR FOR
MIRAGE SALE.

PAGE 02 NEW DE 14031 211535Z
SION NOT TO PURCHASE BRITISH JAGUAR BECAUSE OF HER PREJUDICES
AGAINST BRITISH. DECISION WOULD BE BETWEEN MIRAGE AND VIGGEN. THE
SWEDISH DIPLOMAT SAID THAT SWEDEN'S NEUTRAL POSITION IN WORLD POLI-
TICS IS OFFSETTING VIGGEN'S HIGHER COST. HE EXPRESSED
IRRITATION AT THE WAY MRS. GANDHI IS PERSONALLY DOMINATING NE-
GOTIATIONS, WITHOUT INVOLVEMENT OF INDIAN AIR FORCE OFFICERS.
3. ACCORDING TO SWEDISH EMBOFF, NEGOTIATIONS WITH SWEDES ARE
FOR 50 VIGGEN AIRCRAFT TO BE DELIVERED AT $4-5 MILLION PER
AIRCRAFT* SWEDES BELIEVE INDIANS HAVE MADE DECISION NOT TO
PURCHASE ANY MORE SOVIET MILITARY AIRCRAFT.
4. DAO COMMENT: DAO HAS NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO EITHER
REFUTE OR CONFIRM THE ABOVE INFORMATION.
