The SA80 did have some bad press. It did jam in Desert conditions. But with good reason.
They weren't cleaning it properly. They were using old methords that didn't clean the SA80 completely. When cleaned properly the SA80 can still work even when it has been submerged in sand.
Now back to the topic. This is one hell of a helicopter
IIRC the recommendation was that the SA80 was cleaned every half-hour. Who can do that in combat?
Oh, and the intakes in the first pic don't look right, not angled enough, which is what probably threw me. (its an artists impression, not a photo - isnt it? or at least a very edited photo.)
/edit, and it doesn't look like the wing has a variable angle of attack, so I'm blaming the picture, not my eyes.

Indeed the Gripen and Falken are very respected aircraft, Saab built (I think at least one of the powerplants was Volvo?) they're both aerodynamically very advanced, in a delta canard configuration - most fighters use this now, it allows great turning performance, no matter what speed. South Africa have just ordered a load to replace the "domestically developed" (read Israelli updated) Mirage derivative called the Cheetah. Respect the Gripen.
