"Cost is what is destroying modern Air Forces".... listen to the wisdom of that.
Well I am from Sweden and I "believe" SAAB is doing a very good job. This is a very nice, beautiful and effective fighter. Yes it is important you can take down costs and I believe that SAAB is working in the right direction. Brazil had the good taste to buy and take over the program, very good for the future.
The man from SAAB seems to have a very good selfconfidence and off course he must try to sell this beautiful plane, high respect for the manufacture SAAB.
Jag är brasiliansk, jag älskar sverige och gratulerar saab.bonitas flygplan.
Brazil, excelent choice!
12 units for The Philippines please.... just for now... will add more in the future...
With recent decline of peso against dollar. I would say around 6-8units of bird including ILS package, training and maintenance. If Gripen would like to step up their game to us then they should start offering the E version rather than C/D.
theyre offering the older version. f16 viper is better

Canada , what are you waiting for?
$$$$ -- they have a real cash crunch up there and don't want to go into as deep a debt as the US but they WILL eventually have to make choice. Give them a few more years and even with the spares they bought from Australia, they're going to need to replace planes. Nothing they're going to be able to buy that's decent will be less than $100 million NEW in the West and the Russian planes (sorry!) are still not as good.
We've had American planes (old F-18s) shed access panels during air shows. These things are literally creaking with age and they have to be replaced and retired for safety. We're probably at least 10 years past the retirement point for some of these planes.
It's worse with carrier planes because of the environment they operate in -- exposure to more moisture salt, and all the stress of catapults and arrested landings. There's a reason carrier planes were rated for absolutely 20 years of use or 6,000 flight hours max. They're crazy to keep them in carrier service unless they do serious rebuilds. They retired the last A-D models in USN service because they were creeping against critical fatigue with the airframes. The USMC desperately needed planes and gladly took what the Navy offered. In the meantime, the USN upped its orders for Super Hornets but they're still short on planes.
The US Navy decided it coudn't afford to keep the Tomcats in service with rebuilds even though they were offered a very good deal on new-builds and reconstructions by Grumman in the late 1980s. Nobody anticipated the tempo of operations would INCREASE after the Persian Gulf instead of decreasing. Everything's been harder than what they originally planned for.
They were part of the F-35 program, but they backed out 🤷♂️
Gripen E Combat air patrol radius: 900 km (559 mi). Do you know approximate size of Canada?
@@RHGM71 It's just over 4000 miles from the furthest east islands of Canada to the furthest west points.
Huge, huge amount of territory. A plane with a tactical radius of just over 400mi is still considered short-range -- that's most of the current fighters unless they carry significant amounts of drop tanks. 559mi combat radius is in the low middle range. Only the larger fighters -- F-15, Su-27 family, F-22 -- have tactical ranges over 700mi average. Those planes have high internal fuel capacity or carry even more external fuel than the small fighters. The planes Canada uses (F-18) are highly dependent on air-to-air refueling or carry max-fuel or the bases are highly spread out. I'm sure they have the forces deployed to evenly cover the interior but the defense overlaps with American systems.
All the planes in production are at least $100million a piece with spares. The Gripen E is significantly re-engineered over the previous-generation Gripen C and is virtually a different plane with completely different avionics and higher-thrust engine than the plane first flown in the late 1980s. It's not much cheaper than the EuroFighter ($120million minimum; the plane costs more than advertised like most in-production fighters) or the Rafale (close to the Eurofighter costs; again, everybody is playing with their numbers).
@@AvengerII Yes but buying a fighter plane is just the first step...then you have the cost of flying it and there you have a huge advantige for Gripen E.
Canada could use about a 100 of these.
So you think Canada needs a 100 of mock-ups?!
Ha canada could have started taking deliverys of the F-35 already. To bad canada is fucking stupid when it comes to military spending
NLBoots imagine Canada with around 100 Griphen E's for general air superiority, with 20 to 30 F-35's for stealth attack and spec ops.
No doubt it would be an effective combination. However if you look at it historically, Canada hasn't deployed more than one dedicated fighter platform. I'm guessing the air force, should they select the Grippen, would use mostly the E variant with some F variants. The F's can be configured for the EW role in support.
They will soon be obsolete in a world of 5th Gen and 5.5 Gen warplanes !!
India can replace india's mig 27 and Jaguars with these....
Right bro

Love the paint design👍 I hope they all come like that.
I don't know about the "most advanced" aircraft claim or the "most advanced" EW claim but the price claim has merit.
Some airforces would do well to use this aircraft in a high low technology mix of aircraft.
Brian Jordan Thales SPECTRA EW Suite, found in Rafale beats everything right now.
depends on you meaning of most andvanced but yes technically its true, its a multi purpouse aircraft, so in a fight with say a f35 the f 35 would win yes its a better fighter jet, but overall i would say jas E is a better choice ofc all is relevant
@@Toujeo the F35 wouldn't win.
I would say his claims are on the way towards realism, but there is still room to go. A better idea would be a stripped down system that sells for cheap, which can be developed according to the needs of the nation.

Sofus haha I thought the same! It's not like the average Joe is going around searching for "the most advanced aircraft in development!!!" XD
I thought that. Plenty of big claims but no explanation of those claims
Sofus... as a swedish citizen, I can't, with a straight face, claim to be any kind of unbiased, when speaking about this amazing aircraft :-)

always been a fan of the Gripen and i cant wait to see this thing fly and actually SEE the differences!
I'm seeing this kind of MRF as very capable and liked to see Gripen E in service with Philippines Air-force in soonest time. President DU30 bring it on, what are you waiting for?
Canada should purchase these Grippens over the F35 for our F18 replacements. The Swedes will do a full tech transfer and they could be assembled in Canada. This would give us the ability to build our own jets in the future.
no. Canada must purchase from USA. Because USA is friend of Canada.

Someday if Phil Air Force will own and operate one of Gripen aircraft I would like to say Thanks and Congratulation for developing such awesome aircraft and helping our air force dream... come true
Both Croatia and Serbia were interested in the JAS39 gripen instead of older used MIG 29 and F-16. But Sweden shot it self in the foot when talking with those countries. In case of war as far as I recon Sweden will not supply the countries with service/weapons. What is the whole purpose having fighter jets if not using them in case of war. I think they are loosing many customers with that logic. Either way US will sell far more planes than little sweden, not because they are much better but because uncle sam still dictates who is to buy what.
This jet fighter will get the jobs done. There are going to be new radars to detect whatever so called 5 gen or 5.5 gen jets. Why pay more when they can detect u anyway.
very useful for EGYPTIAN AIR FORCE 🇪🇬

As for project marksman I have the following suggestions:
1. Make sure the intercom is encrypted with Saar's encryption
2. Install IRST
3. Helmet exhaust injection can be made with Digitaltrend's VR
4. Install exhaust for projectory with Gripen C/D/E. This can be done with NGA Ohlholm
5. Trajectory suite can be improved with install of NGA Dedro's systems executive 114
6. Prepare for launch!
I wish em a lot of success - the Gripen is a awesome aircraft!
lovely aircraft i love the saab gripens 😊😊
Well, strong words for sure,especially in this "industry "... But on the other hand Swedes stand behind their words,products,quality,etc... I'd rather take Gripen-E over F-35 in any case...
The one thing thing this aircraft is able to beat the F35 at is cost.
+Brabble Master and you are basing that on what? The cost of the f-35 is it's steath and that the US had to make an entire new fighter. Saab already had their airframe and didnt need to spend billions on making a new one.
It will have arguably the best AESA radar on the market (the raven), brand new EW. The datalink on the girpen has always been one of the best so i dont see why this would be any worse. It will carry some of the best weapons on the market Iris-T and Meteor to name a few (the Us might buy the meteor for the f-35)
It can, just like the f-35 engage targets behind it and turn away and still have radar lock. I dont see where it's lacking except for stealth.
Spot the Swede...
King Konug did i lie?
f-35 has it advantages same as the gripen, for example - gripen is designed for short range interceptions/multitasking, if the gripen dont have the proper ground support radar then the f-35 beats it everytime.... remember that gripen is designed for swedish defence interests and thats it. That means defence and nothing else.
Bangladesh 🇧🇩 should get this
Guy with full of enthusiasm, anyway well done SAAB, I like your plane and your marketing also, too bad for Romania did not choice Gripen despite you guys doing a good sales promotion. Thumbs up !
I can see this in Philippine Air Force... We will acquire 2 squadron of Gripen E series...
BRASIL escolheu bem !
Philippine airforce need this badly
General Gilbert Gapay chose the F-16v for PAF. Gripens were good contenders but infearal to the F-16v. The cheap price was so enticing.
All seems good, but selling military aircraft is more about political issues (bilateral as well as geopolitical factors) than mere technical superiority. Sweden is a neutral outlier and it doesn't have strategic defense-security ties with many countries, like USA, Russia and France, whose governments have a lot more influence and thus successfully push government to government sales of their own military hardware. Otherwise Gripen would have been a best seller to countries like India who are looking to fill up dozens of squadrons with Gripen-like advance, capable and relatively cheaper lightweight single engine fighter.
India is under "pressure" from the US to upgrade its aging and rapidly depleting Russian fleet with F-16s and F-18s. Americans have also offered India F-35s but they are expensive and have a multi-year backlog. India is getting French Rafale as front line fighter but needs single-engine fighters to fill up many more squadrons. Meanwhile, SAAB has also offered to set up complete assembly and eco-system of Grippen E/F in India but it needs political muscle and influence that Swedish government doesn't have. India has its own single-engine lightweight fighter Tejas which is just going into limited production, but it is not as advanced and proven as Gripen. In order to make and sell 300+ Gripen that India could buy, SAAB should make a deal with Indian government to buy out Indian Tejas's development and production, and commit to employ displaced Indian designers and engineers.
Well, India's challenges are way different than, say, Brazil. China and Pakistan are a concrete threat. The gripen is a great fighter, excellent for air defense, but undoubtely inferior to the rafale, especially in condition of offensive counter air. I would still go for the french aircraft.
Back in 2005 India decided to get 126 Rafale - 100 to be build in India, but notoriously corrupt and indecisive Indian politicians and officials could not complete deal with the French because of dithering on price and technology transfer. Dassault would not guarantee quality because French felt Indian manufacturing was then substandard for such an advanced aircraft. Actually, there was political pressure from French labor because of job loss and also geopolitical espionage concern in western governments because India has been very close ally and major defense buyer of the Soviets and Russia.
In 2014 India got the current nationalist government which, realizing Indian air force was dangerously close to depletion and obsolescence, finally signed up for just 36 Rafale at a much higher price - all to be fully made, armed and serviced in France. Russians offered better price and faster delivery on Sukhoi 35 but Indian fighter pilots are fed up with unreliable Russian aircraft and suppliers.
India is now informally very close strategic+military ally of the US and Indians have just cancelled investment partnership with Russia to develop the stealth air dominance Su-57 for Indian air force. US defense majors Lockheed and Boeing are aggressively pushing to move complete production lines of older but updated F-16 and F-18 to India.
All true. From this point of view, SAAB policy of transferring technology would greatly benefit India. My comment was merely related to the aircraft itself and how capable they are.
Win win for both. Swedes and SAAB will get a prized customer and a low-cost manufacturing partner allied with the west. Indians will get advanced technology (including radar and jet engine) and of course a cost-effective first rate Gripen E/F to upgrade 12 to 20 squadrons. Swedes will be much easier to deal with than Russians, Americans and French. But the problem is that Americans are pushing their own older fighters and factories.
Canada , this is time to say, Trump ........ We don't want your toys. Eat the results of your Bully strategy. Especially talking about Boeing .... !!!!! :)
I want to work in Saab very much! Please!
howard weitzell Yes!
Not a great interview. You need to focus your responses on an audience. There are no responses which apply to ALL audiences. This is why it went a bit wacko at the end where you couldn't quite figure out the distinction between "civilian" and consumer. Seriously, I'm just bored looking for live streams while I rest my broken foot, but hopefully this is positive feedback for the person being interviewed.
he sounds like a typical salesman
Yes because he is just that...
Possibly getting into philippines MRF requirement soon. Around 12 units are being sought after by airforce for its first MRF after the retirement of F5A over a decade ago.
The USA is making progress towards a fighter jet that is so expensive we can only afford one example, and it will be too expensive to risk in combat. New defensive systems will be developed to protect the hangar where it lives.
Cost wise it’s perfect for Canada. We had only planned on buying 88 jets but at these prices we could purchase over 100
Gripen E costs more than an F-35 - Please stop using Gripen C/D pricing. Brazil paid 4.68 billion for 36 Units. That's 130 million per plane. The F-35 is now 85 Million per unit.
@@hobmaniac Whats the price when you compere/ flight hour???
Gripen is cheaper to buy ..but the huge difference is the price for operating the planes...
or will you just part the F35 in a hangar?
@@JorgenPersson-jo4sc F35 is a cheaper plane to buy then a Gripen E. I'm sure that the flight/hr is pretty high on the F35 right now at 30k. Gripen E no one knows, people again use C/D pricing here. I am sure the Gripen E cost per flight hr would be cheaper but it's probably much higher than most think.
@@hobmaniac
Yes F35 are on sale now because of complains that it´s to expensive from other NATO countries which are forced to buy the F35 from USA.
When you compere planes you should take in account what they cost during a 20 year period of using the planes with everything else like spareparts....etc.
...and you get 3-4 JAS Gripen E for one F35 (even after sales price on the F35.)
Fligh hour cost/hour in USD
Gripen 4500 USD
F35 21000-31000 USD (depending on which version)
@@JorgenPersson-jo4sc Anyway, I think they are both great planes, but both have different strategy to win. Hence why i think any nation that can, should buy both. Having a single strategy leaves no options when it fails.
Definitely not the best in the world. Really good no doubt, but not the best.
Ugh...
He says GRIPENS established in 2 continents, Europe and Asia Pacific , Robert Hewson (Head of Communications) should do his homework .....AFRICA, that dark continent below Europe have 26 SAAB Gripen C/D's in South Africa

Please indian airforce buy the gripen- e .the change of indian future
The Netherlands, what are you waiting for? 🙄
The Netherlands already chose the better fighter by going with F-35A, which contradicts every claim made by the SAAB rep in this video. Gripen E will never and can never be anywhere near as advanced as the F-35, starting with the airframe, then onto the propulsion, then onto the radar, internal weapons bays, EODAS, HMS, and integrated RF/IR sensor suite. Sweden designs and makes some awesome weapons, don't get me wrong, but they'll never even come close to what the US and NATO JSF partners can do by sheer numbers game alone. The fact that Sweden relies on the US for Gripen propulsion says a lot right off the bat. SAAB is in a desperate state with the Gripen because if they don't make sales to finance their next generation answer to the JSF, their reputation will collapse in the 21st Century fighter market.
@@LRRPFco52More interesting to know what damage a greater air fleet of the cheaper Gripen E can achieve, compared to a smaller and more expensive air fleet of F-35A.
@@SirTubeALotMore Given the fact that Gripen E costs more at $85 million per unit and F-35 production is well over 500 at the moment, and a single F-35 can erase multiple Gripen Es from the sky in a single sortie without any of them ever knowing it was there, your math doesn't add up economically or tactically.
@@LRRPFco52 I haven't done any math nor am I an expert in war tactics but with your reasoning it sounds like you only need to buy one F35 and all is good ... 😉
Did he forget the F-35, F-22, and J-20/31 are a thing.
J-20/31 are pathetic and shit.
VectorGhost latest intelligence says the planned J31 will be in the same basis as the f35. Similar to the F15 to SU27.
Brabble Master j20...😑😑😑😑😑
Brabble Master this thing can se them on radar
FATSUG no it can't. No plane mounted radar can see a stealth jet on radar. Only super large ground based radars can do that so far. This thing can see them on infrared though at close ranges.
Fun Fact! Gripen means attack in Middle Dutch
you got t all right but the plane dosn,t look sexy like the f16 or mig29..
At least this could be far better than the junk poor quality American Lockheed Martin F-35 made, with a lemon high price that cannot serve any operations for any airforces.
I trust Swedish reliability and seriousness in engineering better.
Gripen just won against USA in redflag 5-0, 5-0, 5-0 and 5-0
yes that's what I thought, I knew Swedish quality is very good
I think Switzerland will rethink to buy this new Grippen, since it has low maintenance compared to the F-35 and other aircrafts, is good price/quality ratio, it's good enough for small countries with low defense budget
Naming the F-35 a lemon shows you really don't know what you're talking about. It's also not that expensive, we just have idiots that look at 90s prices for aircraft and compare them to early F-35 production models and think they're making a point or something.
The F-35 isn't particularly expensive, but offers great performance. The Gripen is cheaper of course, but at a loss of performance.
yes it's over priced piece of junk craft, the F-35 with its poor aerodynamics has low grade performance, in Europe we can also make aircrafts, we don't need to buy American crafts made by H1 visa pakistani/indian engineers. We want to give jobs to our European engineers first, Anyway whatever tech the F-35 has, we can also do it in Europe one way or another even better.
It's very impressive tht a small nation like Sweden has the capability to build a plane like this 👍
Why does he pronounce the name "Grippen". It's "Gripen". The correct pronunciation is "Gree-Pen". Gripen.
Philippine Air Force needs these since our defense budget is now $6 Billion but Saab is only offering the C/D variant ;-;
it slight slim body I love Greepen
Please Intoduce this figtherjet in Philippines Airforce for Advance requirements specs
My reply is a bit late, so you may have already discovered that Saab had already offered gripen to Philippines. Our country (if you're a Filipino) has shown interest in its C/D variant, and may buy 12 - 24 gripen.
Paul Chua The PAF should acquire the F-16V Block 70/72 Viper. The Viper is ko match against the Gripen C/D varaint that SAAB is offering. If SAAB offered the E/F varaint, then it would be a match against the Falcon. C/D version of the Gripen will be obsolete in the 2020’s. Plus it doesn’t have an AESA radar with less payloads. The Falcon has one of the world’s most advanced AESA radar that is equipped in 5th Gen stealth fighters such as the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II. It also has a longer combat radius and can be equipped with a conformal fuel tank for an extended combat radius. It also has more payload than the Gripen. That is why I think that the PAF should acquire the F-16V Block 70/72 Viper instead of the Jas 39 Gripen C/D.
@@3sniper98 I second your choice. The Chinese were very scared of F16, I remember them asking General Dynamics not to sell it to the Philippines. Also in time of war when you need technical, maintenance, parts and armaments, you can't rely on other country like Sweden. When you get a block of F16V, ask the Israel to upgrade the fuel tank to a bigger load so it can fly far far away from your base. They also beefed up the landing gear and loaded the F16 with a sophisticated air to air missiles. Israel downed almost 100 enemy planes without losing one F16...its a fact. Some people said, its costly to fly the F16, but there's no money to compare when you are securing your freedom, security and sovereignty.
@@zzzzzsleeping china never asked GD to not sell to philippines, where did you hear this Bullshit propaganda??? no one in the chinese air force is scared of the F16 a 40 year old design

The 111 who gave their thumbs down here are those who have no idea about airplanes. The Gripen E is actually extremely good! If almost every developed country weren't tied or were attached to certain contracts and domestic liabilities (State-owned arms industry, etc.) - then I am sure that almost everyone would like to buy this jet. Gripen is technically excellent and also very cheap to buy and maintain.

manuel maßmann they can't, goes totally against the swedish neutral policy.
Sweden has never been really neutral. It always sided with one side or the other.
Bruh there is no doubt they prefer to be friends with the west, but friends and allies are not the same. Keeping that distinction is vital for Swedish politics to keep tensions with Moscow in a low level.
Talks already exists, both with German-France project and with the new fighters for England. There was an article up yesterday about presisly this were they said that they had so many large requests that they have to only pick 1 or 2 out all.
Viktor Ervall talks is not the same as doing the actual thing. Participation with Britain however seems more plausible since SAAB is partly owned by BAE

Senna C. Why so much hate? You have nothing to add? People like you ruin the internet.
This interview/sales pitch is filled with so many demonstrably false claims, it begs the question as to what's going on in the corporate marketing philosophy of SAAB.
"This is the most advanced combat aircraft in development anywhere in the world." F-35, PCA, Rafale, and Super Hornet Block III say otherwise.
"It has a new AESA radar. It has a new IRST over the nose. These are key counter-stealth systems by the way." None of those systems have been able to defeat Stealth in many US modern combat evaluations, dating back to initial entrance of the F-22A, as well as the F-35. The AESA radars and IRSTs we've used are far more capable than the Gripen's. APG-63(V)3 AESA TRM count and amplifier sizes, plus the Digital filtering capabilities are in places the JAS-39 simply can't go volumetrically, and APG-81 can't detect other F-35s. F-15Es using Litening FLIR pods have always been defeated in the detection game against stealth, and the seeker and optical technology on the Litening pod is much larger than what you can put in the Gripen, with plenty of computing power and IR spectrum management capabilities when generating useful images at distance.
"It has by far the most capable electronic warfare system in development anywhere in the Western world." F-35 early generation EW/self protection/deception suite smokes it. Not even a fair contest. F-35s are acting in the same roles as EF-111s and EA-6Bs or EA-18Gs normally do before switching to DEAD, then precision strike, and Air Dominance.
Gripen will never be an Air Dominance fighter, only a multirole air superiority lightweight fighter.
O gripen ng foi desenvolvido pela Suécia e Brasil com transferência de tecnologia para o Brasil, Brasil e Suécia fizeram um excelente trabalho!

Talking like a used car salesman!
I must say, that Robert Hewson is one highly effective communications director for SAAB. Very impressive. That said, by July 2019 there's only 3 test aircraft flying? By end of 2020, testing is expected to be completed and production aircraft are expected to be ready for order? So end of 2022 for initial delivery of operational / training aircraft? Perhaps end of 2023 for initial combat coded aircraft to achieve IOC? End of 2024 for first combat coded squadron to achieve IOC - able to deploy?
Honestly, that doesn't sound great, but perhaps it's still a viable and credible option for a strategic-based near-term (?) acquisition strategy, especially if production aircraft could be license-produced possibly??
One would have to indeed respect that suggested mock SDB carriage integration though... Will F-16V come ready to integrate said SDB I/II ?
Don Koh first deliveries to the Swedish air force 2019-20
Actually hercules has counter part such as CN 235 and N2150 and F 35 B
"(...) by far the most capable electronic warfare system under development anywhere IN THE WESTERN world today"...
So...
Please focus on the software structure. Start developing the software from start for the F16 and it will match the Gripen any day of the year... Just look at the T7 Red Hawk, a joint venture between Boeing and Saab, probably the first military project in the world to undercut it's budget. Software pays...
Another used car salesmen, a light fighter going to bring down heavy fighter for price of a Volvo. Ha ha. Try harder. Oops Eagle 🦅 need to stay away from Gripeen.... Rafael, F35 no match against Swedish birds. “Com-on man give me a break”. It looks like a bird, it smells like a bird, it is definitely a Gripen.
Insted of Gripen-Maritime Why doesn't Saab develop Gripen STOVL version, Which can be operated from LHD type ships. Also if a customer country doesn't have a Compact Aircraft Carrier they can operate it from forward airbase that are close to the action, like the Harriers.
Next summer we will have 3 !!!! Planes flying. OMG Compere it to women in 1943-45 and production of thousands of Corsairs, B-17, Hellcats....
Amazing fighter and my favorite by far. Also, not the first 4+ fighter to score a kill on a 5.0 aircraft. The Rafale also scored a kill on an American 5.0 fighter in a war game scenario.
Modern war isnt stealth, its electronic capability and simplicity of maintenance. In a war time scenario airwings wont have five months to prep a fighter before its next mission. A fighter will need extremely short turn around to not lose ground in the fight.
Brazil !
Is this the same mockup that was used in Brazil some time ago?
Looks like it
Instead of offering the Gripen C/D to the Philippine Air Force, offer the E/F version.Otherwise, you will lose to Lockheed Martin F-16V Block 70
Welcome to Brazil SAAB.
Ok, I'mma call bullshit, the f-35 is costly because the need for a small number of advanced do-all fighters, that are stealthy, the f-35 is just that, what the gripen E is just a modern legacy fighter.
iF YOU NEED THIS AIRCRAFT WHAT ABOUT vstol
To civilian standards. Good that he made that point. People often think that military grade or military standard is "better", That is not the case. A pilot for the airforce knows that he is doing his job with the risk of loosing his aircraft/life. The military jets are almost all the time in checkups and being serviced. Military standards are more relaxed towards safety for the user and normaly don't consider costs. Civilian standards don't expect an aircraft to be serviced that often and have much higher safety standards on the equipment.
PHILIPPINES NEED TO HAVE THIS JET FIGHTER.
I truly wish Canada would buy this fighter! Buy a fighter from a COLD COUNTRY,,FOR A COLD CONTRY!
lets say 50or 60 f35 if they work for canada rest in these gripens that could be complicated america will want us to buy latest f16 to keep their customer base we will not buy Boeing superhornet after they tried their little tricks on canada.french fighter nice also but weapons and parts are they readily available with america we say we need particular ordnance and it is on its way has been for many years we have much in common enemy wise, or we just take over Turkics order do nato favor they can give us french sub for doing that cheers
The best combat fighter jet in the world I don't think so this plane will not even see the f-35 or the F-22 coming to kill it
The bigest sell point in my opinion is it can land on road ect as shes small and light .Ukrains Migs and soon f16 keep geiinh hit on the ground
Amazing aircraft for the unit & operational cost ;-)
i hope Philippine air force will chose gripen e... not c.. with all the advanced technology put into it...
Sexy looking Fighter. Awesome.
