Linked National Post on purpose. Given their bias I believe they'd present the worst case scenario.

E: Apparently the article is from 2016 so the cost is likely higher today.

But does the Eurofighter come in a flat pack with an allen key and a booklet that vaguely indicates how to assemble it?

I'm not privy to high level procurement stuff like this, but unless every part is manufacturable in country all drawings/plans/source code/test data etc available and modifiable is there a significant advantage?

Sorry but my source for procurement doesn't have that level of detail for the Gripen. It may be classified.
