Only the JAS-39 Gripen is Capable of Doing This

  • The JAS-39 Gripen was designed to be as logistically simple as possible. The cause of this is the Swedish defense strategy based on dispersion, where its fighters will have to operate from improvised and poorly prepared locations such as secondary bases and even highways, which requires low maintenance, robustness, few personnel, low costs and high availability. Currently, considering only high-performance fighters, none can match the Gripen in this regard.

    This is THE best video describing Gripen's excellence in dispersed operation - not only take off and landing, but the entire system of logistics and maintenance!

    The Thailand Gripens are over here now in Australia for exercise Pitch Black. Ozzie Pilots are saying that it's a very difficult aircraft to go against.

      Ehh... Here we go again.
      Dispersed operations are normal and many different planes have been regularly practising it. Gripen may be spesicically designed for it, but unlike its sworn fans claim it is not uniquely capable in it.

      ​@@herptekWell if it's so ususl in other airforces then why is such big news in the media when for example th US airforce try the same thing? The hole video is also about that fact the Gripen fighter is designed for it. You cant say the same about any western fighter that I know of.

      @@herptek I must confess that I don't know what country you're from but as I wrote I can't bring to mind any other plane that was constructed with this kind of operations in mind, except it's predecessors Draken and Viggen. And no other nation as far as I know has had this kind of operations as a gameplan in a war, except maybe Finland. That's prety unike. Yes other countrys have done landings on regular roads but no one has built the infrastructior around it and have planes that can be maintained with such smal crews with such little training. Start to sound like maybe you're a bit gelous.

      @@dennistofvesson6351 Well, sure enough Finland used to operate Draken among others back in the day but by no means are dispersed operations limited to it and the Gripen. And currently the main fighter aircraft is Hornet. It is no big deal operating dispersed. F-35A will also have to and it would not have been selected if it was impossible. We don't have the luxury of having our air bases out of range of enemy weapons.

    I wish Finland were such a rich country that we could have bought two different types of multipurpose fighters, the F-35 and the Gripen E. The ability to use road runways has been a practice in Finland for decades. As I recall, the Mig-21 was able to do it and the F-18 (stop wire) was able to do it, as well as Finland's future F-35, NATO's F-35 planes have already successfully tested the road as a runway. Being able to get Gripen back combat ready so quickly is a really awesome ability in a real situation.👍👍👍

    THIS IS WHY THE GRIPEN IS BETTER THAN THE F16S, HARRIES, THE JET THAT SWEDEN MADE BEFOR THE GRIPEN WOULD ALSO BE GOOD, MIRAGE JETS FROM FRANCE BE GOOD FOR UKRAINE. RUSSIA WILL BE LOOKING VERY HARD FOR THE F16S, BUT HARRIERS, GRIPEN, VIGGEN, MIRAGE, JAGUAR CAN BE ALL OVER UKRAINE NOT JUST IN ONE PLACE THAT WILL MAKE IT HARDER TO FIND THEM, WHEN RUSSIA COMES TO TRY AND TAKE OUT THE F16S THE OTHER JET CAN TAKE THEM OUT.
