There was more or less a done deal and we had already been supplied with a bit of plutonium from the UK and another country that I can't remember on the top of my head.

    • Viggen is beautiful but I beg to differ. The E version of the Gripen with the m90 pattern in grayscale (ranging from light gray to very dark gray) is my favourite, also the E version is a bit beefier in the airframe so the big landing gears (for rough terrain) looks better in proportion, plus the extra hardpoints. I'm no fan of the digi-camo though. But who knows what FMV will chose in the end, only two delivered for evaluation so far with 60 in the total order.

  • Vigen was a beast. Brutal force. In comparison, Gripen is more like a sportscar. But the E/F version brings back some of the brutal force. Bigger airframe and more weapon capacity, with all the modern stuff to make it protect itself and take down any targets. And integrated with all weapons you can come up with. And if not, SAAB will do that in a flash.

The Viggen was a brute, intended to rush in at high speed in complete radar and radio silence, almost invisible at treetop level in fog or rain, perform just one maximum effort strike and then try to get home again. No finesse or elegance, just one unexpected, gigantic and lethal hammer blow. The Gripen is a much more elegant team player designed for a modern electronic collaborative war situation.

Ironically, people was more angry with the Danes that let US spy, rather than the US. Kind of like everyone expects US to do it.

    • All large deals of military material are quid pro quo, one country agrees to buy one thing in exchange for the other buying another. Sweden is notoriously stingy when it comes to quid pro quo deals. That being said Gripen probably wouldn't be ideal anyway, the main design philosophy behind the plane is that it can't be grounded by taking out the airfields as it can launch from roads and be serviced from a trailer. This is why it's so small and carries a smaller payload, but that also reduces its range. Canada is huge and has vast tracts of lands without any roads so it might be better serviced by a larger more long range plane.

It can carry more weapons than most fighter jets, since it can carry both US, European and Swedish weapons. The only weapon it can’t currently carry is nuclear bombs. The video is at 7:53 contradicting itself by stating that Gripen can fire almost any missile! 😂 Since it so flexible it was the first fighter that could carry the Meteor and it does it in full duplex mode an example. Multiple fighters can only communicate with the Meteor in simplex mode.

And then you have the software, you can load different modules for different missions and task´s and that is done in a few hours. so the same plane and fly two or more totally different missions in the same day and over a period of few days. one mission ground attack, next recon, and the third mission Air Combat. there is what i know of, no other jet fighter that can do this officially.

  • I hope Ukraine will produce these domestically, just like Brazil has. Aparently, that actually also generated some new feature, that has become standard in all subsequent models. Ukraine's Antonov aircraft industry ought to be a good partner for SAAB?! And such a cooperation should also have a high probability of further sharpening it's anti-Russian-fighter capabilities. In the short term, as Sweden becomes full member of NATO, other Nato countries should assume some responsibility for Swedish airdefence, in order to free up some Swedish Gripens to send to Ukraine. And then also crank up production. These three measures could give Ukraine a decent number of Gripen airframes in this decade, also forming a good foundation for the longer future. AND it would also benefit Sweden! Perhaps also other NATO countries, as recent wargaming on a Taiwan conflict showed 90% of US fighters would be destroyed before even leaving the ground. So one recomendation is going for larger numbers of somewhat cheaper airframes, instead of insanely expensive tech like F35, since most of that high tech will likely never have a chance to play out. Gripen is considerably cheaper to operate than F16 or F35, as I understand it. It stands to reason, that for the very small country of Sweden, maximizing "bang for the buck" has very, very high priority during the whole design process.

  • Good to have different capabilities and approaches. Interesting that the F-35’s electronic warfare was omitted. Interesting data fusion and sharing was omitted. Any jet will be very effective against ground troops, it’s the bomb and missile which was delivered. Short runways and astute support always nice and more important in Ukraine. But, perhaps need a doubling of Sweden’s Air Force to be a real factor in Ukraine, not just one or two. Nice video. Good to see the different focus spelled out.

  • This is kinda dumb. The idea that radars will be able to see stealth and therefore stealth isn't going to be a thing is silly. If radars become more effective and can see stealth easily they will also be able to see planes like the Gripen from even greater distances as well. They also talk about the Gripen having excellent EW capabilities, but it is not like other planes don't also have good EW suites. The F-35 has an excellent EW package (in addition to stealth).

  • * So, at last, Sweden has taken its Rightful seat amongst our close Friends, Allies and Partners within the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance - and - as I actually was born the very same year as when John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the Very Best American President since Abraham Lincoln, held his Historical speach about - quote - "We choose to go to the moon, and do the other things, not because they're easy, but because they're hard!" - and during all those years since then, throughout my entire life, I have carried such a strong, strong desire and living hope that, one clear day, Sweden as a Nation would become a full-fledged member of NATO! But I never really thought that I would live to see that clear day arrive, because of the political naivety behind the so called "value" of keeping ahold to the military neutrality for our Nations People, so firmly embraced for centuries. But - suddenly - now, we have all seen the Historical change, the winds of our National People's will, to once and for all stand up strong for preserving Freedom and Western Democracy together with our Friends and Neighbours at LAST came! And here we are now! We are now fully Members of NATO! Good things come to those who can wait! And now, the terrific JAS 39 Gripen E/F Jet Fighter - "The Beauty and the Beast" - Actually, the SAAB JAS 39 Gripen E/F Version is truly a splendid, awesome combination of both of them - in its very own, indeed unique manner and style - and as a Swede person, I really cannot deny that I feel a strong, genuine pride of our Military Air Industry, that has got the Technical skills, professionalism and Aeronautical knowledges and capability, to enable us to create this very unique and "hard-to-beat" fighter!

  • No other countries want to buy the Jas39 gripen after Brazil because other countries much prepared the US and France fighters aircraft. Maybe the biggest obstacle to market Jas39 geipen is the intervention of some swedes politician in sale to other countries. Very big example is sale of 14 Jas39 gripen C/D using the existing spare airframe to the Philippines. MOU between Philippine and Sweden signed by both countries and awaiting for sweden to ratfy since last year. Sweden government and Saab will continue to lose their costumers to market their defense products if the sweden politician continue interven.

F-22 was very technically advanced, and that is why little Sweden manage to produce more Gripen then America made F-22's. By the sound of it, it was an engineered nightmare on the production line with untested advanced materials and designs. Every other month the F-22 needed something redesigned and so did the production line and rebuilding of all the aircraft's they made. Even without redesigns, the aircraft was exceedingly laborious thing to manufacture. Condemning it to low production volumes and high cost.

And i can also tell you that even the gripen c the one before the much better e version did very well in red flag in usa. So i can without telling secret things tell you that i estimate that one gripen e could destroy about 2 or 3 su 35 the bes russian fighterjet, and is probably?? as good as su 57. so its no risk that putin would dare to atack sweden with also worldclass subs and artillery archer and other secret weapons, and now we are in nato, so just a nordic coalition could with ease defend agains russia and even take away kaliningrad !!!!!

    • True true. Similar to my past time at FMV... what some people think information security sector works like or how it seems in fiction, and how it really works like can be different. It's also similar in other type of "fancy" business, like Poker. Obviously Texas Hold'em is about lots and lots of patience, not games á la Casino Royale. Of course there could be very few exceptions of pretty much anything. Probably some person in the world history won a big price by pure luck, while playing like James Bond. I can think it does also exist pilots that really longing to engange in fight. Sociopats or people who is just built differently exists everywhere. That said, it might not be normal. It might not be wanted characteristics of a pilot either. It's a certain risk such pilot would be unfit for an employment, yes.
