- In today’s episode, we will take a look at the Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen, a Swedish multirole combat aircraft. For more interesting information on this topic, don’t go anywhere and stay tuned.
Manufactured by the Swedish aerospace and defense company Saab AB, JAS 39 Gripen is a light single-engine multirole combat aircraft in service with the Swedish Air Force. The Gripen features a delta wing, which is a wing shaped in the form of a triangle. It also has canard configuration with negative stability design and fly-by-wire flight systems, replacing the conventional manual flight controls with an electronic interface. By 2020, more than 200 Gripens of various models, A to F, have been developed.
First, let’s dig in into the history of the JAS 39 Gripen.
The development of JAS 39 Gripen began when Sweden sought to build new fighters to replace its aging Saab 35 Draken and Saab 37 Viggen in the late 1970s. For a defensive dispersed basing plan in the case of invasion, the Swedish Air Force needed a cheap Mach 2 aircraft with good short-field performance; the concept included 800 meters long by 17 meters wide primitive runways from the Bas 90 system. One goal was to make the plane smaller than the Viggen while maintaining or increasing its payload-range performance. The Saab 38, also known as the B3LA, was proposed as an attack aircraft and trainer, and the A 20, a modification of the Viggen, was proposed as a fighter, attack, and maritime reconnaissance aircraft. The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, and the Northrop F-20 Tigershark were among the foreign designs which were studied and taken as references.

I think gripen are amazing how it move its manuevering technique its capability and a low maintenace cost per flight
maybe it is depend to the pilots skills and i think it is best in dog fighting
we are small nations archipelagic and it is the choice of our military leaders we knows that there is no better than thier own may be on paper you are the best
but in our situations as a developing nation we chose an affordable but a very effective jet fighter ♥️🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏
yes. Here in Nordic countries, should keep the "maintenance" cost in mind. Armament, refuel, take off/landing must be adapted to our conditions here, and should not call for a 10-20 ppl group to get the plane flying again, if there is real action calling.
Saab Gripen has always been one of my favorite late-4th Gen Fighters.
Its claim to fame has always been simplicity: lightweight, reliable, effective and also inexpensive.
They are known to go toe to toe with any US, EU or Russian fighter of the '90s and early 2000s, excepting the F-22. They can maintain a favorable kill/loss ratio while costing a small fraction of the upfront cost and operating expenses per hour. And require a smaller ground crew, meaning more jets in combat for a given small air force and budget.
Oh, I've heard of it. In fact, I'm hearing it right now as I live 5km from the SAAB-test base where they are manufactured. Rather hear the sound of our own airforce than somebody elses.
this video was some next level 5D chess clickbait...who's never heard of the gripen???
still gonna watch it tho...more gripen for my eyes
@@rarejavelin6547 when you're from Europe, then you probably heard of it, but Americans doesn't even know that Czechoslovakia are in fact Czech Republic and Slovakia
Well, technically that specific sound is quite American.
All hail the mighty General (Electric).
The Gripen is in many ways a Swedish engineering take of an upgraded bastard-child F-16, F/A-18 and X-29. Its everything those airplanes were not: (cheap to build and operate).
@@TheJustinJ Yep, a general electric f404 modified by GKN (previously Volvo) to produce 5kN (10%) more thrust without afterburner and sligthly more with afterburner.
Sadly, the E/F version uses a bone-stock f414 but license built in sweden.
It can be heard across the entire city. Lovely sound :)
Gripen is flown by our beloved Swedish neighbours. Danish Air Force has begun to train with them F-16 vs Gripen, due to the Ukrainian situation. It is formidable, but is let down by its engine thrust. No matter, I am awed by one small country developing one great fighter jet after another. Tunnan, Draken, Viggen, Gripen. We had Draken in Denmark, fighter bombers and recon. Very well loved, Still flying until recently with the UK Test Pilot School and in the US.
Its a nice aircraft, our Air Force has been flying them since mid 2000s (but now Czech Air Force is going for F-35A )
Here the airforce defence force used Drakens, and can tell you all when they did the low flight, that was noise and no words, house windows almost blew out. That was some kind of recon training I think.
Its an upgraded F18 super hornet engine. I wouldn´t say its necessarily underpowered though.
My books say that the Gripen can have electrical modification done easily, they can land on a highway and be pushed under a cover of trees, and it doesn't take as much training for the maintenance team as it does for most modern fighters. The canards also give it a short takeoff capability. It also looks cool.
All is true. It is a modern, small fighter jet that can be hidden in a barn in a village and surprise the enemy due to its small radar reflection. Its electronics are constantly updated and the systems are designed so that even a possible failed update of 1 system will not compromise the entire aircraft.
So it's strengths lie not in brute-force capabilities or stealth or even advanced electornic warfare, but rather affordability, ease of use, numbers and adaptability to the point where if you want to ground a Gripen squadron you pretty much need to destroy every single one of them?
I've always thought it was a beautiful aircraft. I think there's definitely something to be said about the simplicity and ease of use/maintenance too.
The best part about Gripen is that it can go in reverse after landing, just need to make a 3 point turn and then takes off again. Saw a clip that showed it took around 90 sec to land, turn around by itself and then take off again. Pretty cool
Gripen still sets a high bar for combat aircraft! Nice work!

You need to look carefully . The bar is much higher.
@@abhilashyadav2274 and too high to be used other non European nations it seems 😂

To think Saab, Volvo , and Ericsson are working on a plane, that thought is scary in terms of engineering power- what potential! And it’s a beautiful plane.
SAAB copied the aerodynamics from the British. Volvo make a completely American engine under licence. They have no resposibilkity for the design and never have. Potential? None. It's overweight and very underpowered. It uses 1970s aerodynamics and has the RCS of a house.
It's abysmal sales tell the real story, no one wants it.
@@dat581 Copied from the British? Are you pranking us? Hahahahaha
@@oscargreat1657 Nope. The aerodynamic design is a direct copy from a 1970's British study.
@@dat581 It is not a copy at all.
@@oscargreat1657 You can claim that all you like just because you don't want hurty feelings. The British P.106 makes a liar out of you though.
It is a lethal fighter jet when he use the Iris T and a Meteor missiles. It has low rcs, excellent sensors and a complete electronic warfare kit. All this with extremely low cost acquisition and operation.
Low RCS? I know where this statement stems from and let me tell you, the paper isn't talking about the E and looks like the paper have been modified too.
Complete EW kit? Hardly. Its radar cannot perform EW functions. It needs to have its own pod to complete it which when measuring against 4.5 gen aircraft, doesn't seems too much but when comparing with 5 gen aircraft like F-35, it doesn't seem to complete much.
Extremely low cost acquisition? Yeah, F-35 is now cheaper than the E.
> Iris T
MBDA UK's AIM-132 has a longer range.
@@tristanpau1p f35 is way more expensive to fly (when it flies lol), maintain and is less reliable. Best is still the rafale for multi-role.
@@tigerbesteverything nah, it's expensive but not very. It's a reliable aircraft. USAF have logged how many crashes it have and it's on the low low side. And a lot of the crashes aren't on the airframe itself.
Rafale is fine but it's not survivable on modern IADS it's certainly multi-role but the F-35 is just one switch away or just a weapons for different missions. You want ELINT/SIGINT? The sensors and the whole thing can be done while flying AA or AG mission. AG mission? Just add the weapons and no laser designator pod needed. CAS? Just add the appropriate weapons and no need for additional pods.
Don't bring up Spectra. It's good but F-35 is on the whole another level since stealth is in synergy with jamming.
@@tristanpau1p Don't bring up the f35, rather than Spectra. failure-35 is the shameful machine always fitted and reported with grave and major bugs, crashs, problems, flaws.
The f35 is another level only on papers and brochures, but in reality it's only on another level of failure and problems. f35 was too much ambitious, trying to surpass the best multiroles fighter, aka the Rafale.
Spectra EW and Suit, is the best in service anywhere right now. Even the f35 copied many things introduced for the first time on the Rafale, such as the multi ways all integrated passive sensors + TVHD Imagery sensor for high precision PID.

@@mapearce Agreed. I was already got by the Draken /Viggen pronunciation, but he made it sound like Linköping was a place in China!
Honestly I think that one of the most impressive things about this fighter is that it wasn't developed by som Super economy like the US, China or Russia and that still manages to compete with such fighters.
It can’t tho lmfao, this is based af. The F-22 already won by miles just with its radar & AIM-9X missiles, not to mention the Gripen has 0 stealth capabilities with no thrust vectoring, single engine, ETC…. The gripen is probably just made from parts of our old aircraft anyway. Have you heard about chinas “new” 5th gen fighter, looks familiar😁
@@heisenberg1098 yes mate the raptor is really advanced but the low cost mean for one raptor several low cost fighter jet get to sky and when the frist missile lunch raptor lose its stealth characteristic and its easy target for sam and other fighter jet....
every raptor lost mean no replacement (only US have the power to replace it but we all know in no world US and sweden get in to a problem :) )
and any country that buy raptor from US in no mean have the power to replace raptor

@@Yikeo all stealth plane are stealth till the missile or bomb bay dor is open after its open they are not a stealth and pop up for radar and its clear thing for ground radar some times stealth plane are traceable and this is not matter in the end cuz fighter like F22 and F35 are logistical nightmare for country with medium economy search and see every time one of this plane take off how much its cost
@@heisenberg1098 LOL.... Gripen E is more or less a new fighterjet compared to Gripen A. It should be able to stand up to most generation 5 fighterjets because of all the state of the art tech it holds. It also support all EU and Nato standards so it can be equipped with the same weapons. There are very few fighter jets that actually has thrust vectoring. F22-A, Su-37 and Su-30MKI. Regarding stealth.... Just like Viggen and Draken, JAS is designed to fly fast on low altitude, below the radar.
With the events of the past weeks I'm more and more in favor of a mixed fleet of Gripen's and F-35's for Canada. I like the idea of manufacture @ Halifax NS and then as the high demand for F-35's can be met F-35's as well. Canada must do its part with both NATO & NORAD which means a greater capability.
Do you even know what u talking about? U2 a FIGHTER JET just WTF

Awesome bird. Well done Saab :)
the u2 is not a fighter jet
It was shown, not orally mentioned
@@Retroscoop.. While talking about fighters lol
Just to prove you don't need billions of dollars of overly complicated tech to produce a great combat aircraft. . One of my favourite modern combat planes.
The problem, it is not the best fighter jet we never heard about. Simply the first versions c/d are a very light fighters, low payloads/ranges and capacities.
For the new gripen e/f, this thing is clearly going in the same way as the Dassault Rafale, trying to be this kind of medium light weight fighter. But they're only starting to produce it at the end of 2021. They're kinda late with this new platform, which is by the way not yet validated and fully operational, not yet ready for combats (still under testings for few years to be really ready).
The prices announced were for the old gripen versions, the new one is going to cost more to buy, and to maintain since it got bigger engine, and more advanced technologies.
@@kasugakyosuke6441 Gripen's electronical warfare beats the Rafaele out of the water. And it's still cheaper, better running costs and can land on country roads.
@@carpetclimber4027 Where did you picked that ? In a surprise bag ?
Rafale is capable of landing on country roads too, even better since the Rafale can land on unpaved roads.
Gripen only cheaper not by much now with the new gripen ng. If you compare the cost and the capacities, the Rafale is offering all better ranges, payload, missiles capacities, and more. So the Rafale is more efficient money cost, with a very similar CPFH. So no, the Rafale got better running cost than girpen.
Rafale's Spectra EW and Suit is one of the best (if not the best, according to many experts and specialists). Rafale is/was the game changer, that even gripen and f35 are copying and going same way.
Coming Rafale F4 will even go further, and put the step upper, removing the few small advantages claimed by the gripen.
@@kasugakyosuke6441 the rafale’s EW capabilities aren’t even close to gripens😂
@@ProudOne Don't get me wrong, but you're so wrong !
What do you know about Rafale EW capabilities ? Most of military fighter jets technologies are under high and strict defense secrets levels, and you're trying to make me believe a random guy like you knows about it ?
Come on, be serious few seconds in your life, and just admit the truth.
For your informations, the gripen ng is late and trying to catch up on what the Rafale already have been offering long time ago.
According to experts, Rafale's Spectra EW and Suit, was the most complete and advanced in the world. This is why you're seeing f35 and gripen ng appearing many years later, to try to build a solution Rafale like.
Gripen NG only offering few things new only, but it's not yet a fully operational and validated aircraft yet. Without to forgot, the Rafale F4 will get back the Rafale ahead of it very quickly.
Right wing agitator?
Thats what they said.
That just means he pissed off someone on the left.
Saw these in the Bangalore airshow. There was a huge jam on the road to the airshow, Swedes flew this above the highway with one or two passes above us, it was stunning. India went with Rafale over these for few reasons including that these were not Fully Swedish made, some part were from US & can't depend on getting spare parts from them during an emergency. Hence India choose Rafale. I wish we get these but Tejas should be able to catch it upto in 1 or 2 gen.
India still needs more planes, we'll see now when things are heating up. Its alot cheaper and cheaper to run. 10 rafaele = 16 JAS
Tejas is already in its gen 2 development so it’s too early to see if they will catch up to gripen ability yet
Assange is right wing? Common Military TV dont lose your creditability like this...
Reminds me of a souped-up A4 with full cas. With air to air too? Sweet! Cost big plus too
What a nonsense title. I think almost every single person who watches this has heard of the Saab Gripen.
Apparantly; a lot of politicians haven't.... or claim they haven't, to defend their choice of the twice as expensive and ugly F 35. Though most problems with that plane have been resolved, it still is ridiculously expensive to operate, and hence not suited for a country like mine, Belgium. Still, our government absolutely wanted to play with the big boys. If the Netherlands bought the F 35, so do we. Some vague claims about the absolute necessity to buy the same to make cooperation between the two airforces easier.....
@@Retroscoop I’m sure blackmail or some other corruption had something to do with some F35 “sales”. Corruption has exploded in my country (USA) here in the 21st century. And it’s getting exponentially worse here and around the world as if criminal enterprises have take over democracies.
@@Retroscoop twice as expensive? That argument is so old that cheese starts to rot. It's certainly much cheaper now and I expect the B and C model to go to the Gripen's price not too soon.
Also, I think a lot of politicians heard about the Gripen and I think a lot of hype too. Like how it's a 6th Gen fighter.
Your last line have been said by every companies. So what's your point?
Every country's needs are different. We Swedes know, from lessons learned all the way back in WWII, that you can't rely on foreign suppliers for aircraft in times of conflict, even if you're not involved in said conflict yourself. So naturally, the best option for Sweden (as for any country) is to develop as much as possible domestically, and only the Gripen fulfills the needs of the Swedish Air Force because it is the only one developed with that goal in mind. That doesn't mean it's better, or worse, than any other aircraft, but it does mean it has the 3 main things Sweden requires from fighter aircraft: cheap operating costs, short takeoff- and landing capabilities (for areas with no airfields in sight) and rapid refuelling enabling maximum efficiency and airtime from fewer aircraft.
There are more technologically advanced aircraft. There are aircraft with better engines, and longer range. But there are no other aircraft built from the ground-up for Swedish needs. That's why it's pointless to argue, as some in these comments do, if it's a good or bad aircraft. It suits Sweden and it will suit some other countries, many others (like the US, UK and France that have power-projection doctrines and overseas possessions to defend) it will not
Exactly. It's meant to be usable without a base of operation, showing up from the woods basically. For defensive purposes
O Brasil firmou uma parceria com a Suécia envolvendo as gigantes EMBRAER e a SAAB para fabricação conjunta do GRIPEN. Sucesso.

Another great video by a great channel. Sweden has always punched above its weight in military matters -- jets, bazookas and the beautiful Stridsvagn tank, bereft of a turret and with a much lower profile. And now the Grippen is set to dominate in the skies should battle come to this peaceful and beautiful people (have you seen their bikini team???)

It can often be challenging for non-native tongues to pronounciate Swedish words.
I'm no authorized teacher but here we go:
Viggen: to get the "gg" right try using the english word "wig" (Wig-en) then switch the W to V.
Gripen: Don't be tempted to pronounce the "Grip"-part as the english word. Instead cut the word like this: Gri-pen, then prolong the "i" (Grii). As for tempo it's simliar to the word "Cry" and the second part is pretty much "pen" (as in pencil): Grii-pen

5:05, fact issue. Project cost for Swedish government back when ordered '60 Miljarder SEK' is 60 Billion SEK in english. About $10-$12 Billion USD back in the 80's depending on conversion rate. This was for delivery of 140 planes if I recall correctly.
i hope Canada will choose this one over the F-35
The reason why the pilot was injured was because when the firefighters tried to help the pilot out they didn't know how to open the canopy since it was so new so they had to use a axe wich then struck the pilot. But there was no injuries related to the crash, only from the axe he sustained injuries.
Why he didn't eject?
Its actually a neat jet that is quite competitive and definitely one of the best out there for the price. While obviously it cant keep up with the latest US planes it can stand its own against the russian and Chinese (on paper)
If purely seen as a defensive weapon this plane is probably the best on the market considering it can take of from most highways, have a cheap but long operating time due to its efficient engines, amazing radar system and quick reariming capability
A squadron of them beat a squadron of f-22 at redflags
Great value for money aircraft. Slightly concerning though that BAE systems is involved as they are gaining much of a monopoly on Ship, Submarine and Aircraft production, maintenance and upgrade contracts Europe wide. BAE produce some great kit, The Astute, Spearfish Torpedo and Sea Whiz to make but a few. It should concern European taxpayers however that lack of choice in RFI's and Tenders doesn't keep prices low nor does it promote innovation through competition.

Croatia ordered the Dassault Rafale,the first planes will be delivered by 2024/2025,replacing the old MIG-21 aircraft
The Rafale is a great aircraft, produced by France when they pulled out of the Eurofighter program because they didn't like the direction it was going. Is it better than the Eurofighter Typhoon? That's a disputed question. Both are more expensive to build and fly than the Gripen, so one has to wonder what advantages they have over it. Personally I would suggest that being able to afford two Gripens instead of a single Rafale and fly both for cheaper would make it well worth the investment. But nobody asked me. The Gripen is clearly a better deal the the F-35 for the same reason, and the fact that it out performs the F-35 in most every way except "stealth." (Most F-35s are not VTOL anyway.)
An unsung hero!
It's certainly a aviation marvel. I can't think of any aircraft that's even half as good as the Gripen for the price.

@@abhilashyadav2274 Probably, due to US pressure and "futureproofing" even though the Gripen would fit Canada's operational needs just fine.
Finland ended up with the F-35, from what I understand, gripen e/f would've suited finland well enough but it isn't or wasn't ready yet, politically it would've made more sense to take the gripen and integrate industries across finland and sweden. Tho I think F-35 was just too good of a deal to pass at this point with fast enough delivery to not strain our aging F-18C fleet
Any sort of military procurement is such a joke in Canada I wish they would just make their decision Is either jet is just fine
F-35
Many people mistakenly believe that adopting Griffin is cheap, but it is not. Griffin's comparative advantage is its annual operating costs. In other words, you need to drive a Greenfin for a long time without accidents to reap the benefits.
So, in high-strength conflict zones + if you have a good defense budget, the F16 is the preferred choice over the Griffin. Otherwise, European fighters like the Griffin are a good alternative.
It is a great 4th gen fighter from what I have heard!!!
Video: "By 2020, more than 200 Gripen of various models, A to F have been developed"
More correct would be: By 2020, around 270 Gripen of model A to C have been developed. On top of that, there are 96 Gripen E and F on order. Delivery phase of Gripen E started in December 2021and about 6 or 7 seven has yet been delivered to customers (February 2022). Gripen E is scheduled to be operational in 2023.
Friend, do you believe that Sweden will seek to join NATO? I believe that, if this happens, it could harm the deliveries of Gripen E to Brazil.
@@robertoesportes3987 The question has been up to discussion many times for the last 30 or 40 years. There is probably a majority in the population (?) that thinks this is a good idea, but currently, there are not many of the leading politicians that are in favor of this. I believe that they think that Sweden would loose some of its independency and own voice in foreign affairs. Also, we would have to support NATO military operations that we might dislike.
Today, Sweden is a close associative and close friend to most NATO countries and we do join in for international military exercises and even NATO military operations. Sweden have elected new governments and changing the color from red to blue, and then back to red again. This has also happens many times in the last 40 years. The blue side is a little more keen to join NATO, but the step has never been made.
What we totally dislike is the idea of Putin dictating other countries foreign politics, so what’s happening now might actually change things.
@@bjornnordstrom Yes Yes. We know this because several Brazilian military channels, after choosing the Gripen E as our jet fighter, told a little about the history of Sweden, which, seeing itself on Russia's side, always sought to develop its own weapons so that it could maintain neutral in the conflicts of other nations while it could also produce its own means of defense. And that's precisely why I was surprised by the Russian threat because I imagined that Sweden would maintain its neutrality. Anyway, I look forward to more partnerships between Brazil and Sweden and I hope they buy our KC-390 Millenium freighter.
@@bjornnordstrom this reply didn't age well :)
@@robertoesportes3987 Sweden on Russia's side? Dear me, do you think that in Brazil? Sweden has considered Russia as the main (prospective) enemy for the last 200-300 years (with a short interlude during WW2, when Nazi Germany proved to be a more serious threat). Not always with justification to be sure.
How come a U2 Spy plane become Multi role?
You can use it for spying, joyride and for propaganda of engineering capabilities, pretty multi-role
Was good to see Hungarian AF Gripens in the cutscenes.
OK, ‘right wing agitator Julian Assange’?! Am I misunderstanding something here?
You forgot to mention the wonderfull main cannon the bk27 revolving canon
This is a nasty and lethal machine. 💯
probably the best light single engine jet
Good looking aircraft
Could this Jet be an alternativ as Cost-effective way for Germany to quickly increase its air force? It is a sophisticated system and is manufactured in Europe. A good complement to the Eurofighter and F-35
No, they want theirs jets to be capable of carrying nuclear weapons, and Sweden does not allow that.
We want this for the Philippine Airforce!
The Gripen is the only Jet I've seen in action, yet.
JAS Gripen E is the best air fighter in the world because it has a system that any other air fighter have not to day.I don´t go in and explain why Gripen E is so much better than other air fighter globally.I´ very proud that we have such a brilliant air fighter.
Ive heard about it probably around 1000 times already xD
We in the UK should get some of these to bolster our gen 4 capability.
UK already have eurofighter tho!
@@lost4356 Aren't these cheaper to run/build though? Comparable capability but cheaper = more units I'm thinking?
@@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK Yes but U.K already poured billion developing the plane buying this is like Burger King buying Burger from another joint . also is kinda impossible for U.K to buy the plane because they probably sign a contract. and even they can buy it is also unlikely they bought it because U.K has buying power to acquire better plane version,
@@lost4356 I'll concede to your logic whilst still wanting some SAABs because they're cool :)
@@lost4356 The Gripen is partly UK developed too btw :)
my grandfather's I believe brother worked on the control system on the gripen:)
"the best fighterplane you've never heard of"
as a swede i cannot relate
" Vai Gen " " Dray Ken " - I swear to god I'm going to lose my mind.
I think Finland should've bought this instead of the F35's.
These are capable, affordable and easily armed with great payload. Also it is designed for the Nordic climate/infrastructure
I duno... I feel like providing a cutting-edge fighter today is just too expensive for JAS to be able to continue to compete really. It's just too large of a financial proposition for JAS being able to continue to really compete without swallowing the whole Swedish military budget just on JAS development.
I'm not an expert but my hunch is that they should probably start to wind down development of JAS... And long-term the Swedish military should probably opt in for something like the F35, too.
JAS is cheaper by Unit... But the F35 is surely really better overall, and factoring in the cost of development of the JAS I'm sure it's cheaper, too.. Even if JAS is cheaper per unit.
I'm sure developing the JAS used to make sense - especially when you want to maintain neutrality.. But I think today, and especially tomorrow, with NATO membership pending - not so much.
3:46 - Link-Oh-Ping made me laugh not gonna lie.
But the title is real, for me at least. If one of my friend didn't have Swedish blood I won't know about this plane
Canada is in the process of updating all of there small arms, anti tank, artillery, armored vehicles and fighter Jets with Saab and Sweden. A multi billion dollar deal. This is very good for Canada.
Agree gripen E is better and at par with f-16s but f-16V is more advance and has longer range, We from Philippines hope to procure this aircraft but hopes for now are getting low as until now Swedish government didn't approved the offer of our DND (Department of national defense) also the one being offer to paf is the lesser capable gripen c/d.
thats why im rooting for f16V its way more superior to the gripen c/d the only porblem is still the budget. hope the next admin will focus on this
@@choyiee0548 The upgrades being offered for the C/D models makes them more capable than the F16V with GaN PESA and upgraded EW etc.
@@grahamdrew5512 F-16V still better more hard points proven already has longer range plus US offers transfer of 4-6 block 40 if Philippines acquires them sadly we don't have enough money and our government is not willing to provide money.
The Swedish government are total cretins. And it solely consists of soy boys, gays and women these days.
@@grahamdrew5512 C/D are anemic of an aircraft with absymal range and carriage capacity. GaN PESA? That's a downgrade from the F-16's new AESA.
We aren't touching the logistic side of things which is quite important which is quite important with the distances between countries here.
This dude sounds like an ATC 😎 smoooooooth
Tejas mk2 late in game but with a loyal wingman and cost around 50-60 mil it will be better than gripen to be procure in large numbers by iaf
Most people even vaguely interested in military planes know of this plane lol
To pronounce Viggen think about the english word for hair wigs, and add the "en" from end.
Gripen is pronounced like the "gree" with the word for "pen" (pencil)
Draken is Swdish for dragon, and starts with the "dra" from drawbridge and then add the same pronounciation as the name "Ken"
Flygvapnet (Airforce) or directly translated Flying Weapon needs a pauce between flyg and vapnet. Flyg ends with a hard g.
Lars Rådeström was also missing his "å" in the video.
Okej, Torbjörn
Lin ko ping is probably the funniest attempt to prounuce Linköping I have ever heard.
God Bless JAS 30 GRIPEN! goat
Therapist: JAS 30 Gripen doesn't exist, it won't hurt you
