  • The key to operational effect is to get fighters airborne when needed. That’s why Gripen is designed to make sure that availability is maximized at all times. A Gripen force can operate from small airfields or even highway when no runways are available. For instance, Gripen can operate from a road strip of only 16 x 800 metres. In this film you will get more information what makes Gripen always combat ready.

    I appreciate the optimism CZcams Bot. But I'm not really sure the Gripen is in my budget right now. But the road near my house is 16x800 meters so I'll keep it in mind.

    When Eisenhower was president of the U.S. and passed the interstate roadway bill, he had for every 10 miles of interstate
    one mile that was straight and level so planes could take off and land. I remember during the Cuban missile Crisis there
    were air force planes parked in the rest areas of the interstate.

    We were convinced to buy this as a security feature for the summerhouse. It looked so cheap compared to alternative 5-th generation fighter jets. (Also you can use your golf course for a runway!) The maintenance is really simple, you or your gardener can do it on site, without constant negotiation for spare parts with a dealership like F22 or need to decipher russian manuals (a nightmare!) as for a MiG . Also, as all Swedish vehicles it has every possible safety feature including child seats as a standart!
    We were quite happy with it for about a year, its really great for obliterating privacy invading drones and tacky annoying hot air baloons. but now we have grown some ambitions of power projection and its range of 3000km's feels really limiting as it does not have carrier compatibility!
    My verdict: Quite good as your first fighter jet. but lacks in stealth and upgrade capabilities. 8/10.

    5/5 - Just ordered mine a month ago. It came in a nice package with detailed manuals, nice finish, definitely doesn't feel cheap. If you swap the five recruits by five seasoned support guys, the rearm and refuelling can drop to 8 minutes; best time so far was 7:36. Saab support is super responsive, Swedish level of care and attention. One of my air-to-air missile came with a small defect, I could not fit it. After a support call, I got a missile replacement after 48 hours! The tools are quite good; the stand and pilot stairs are from Ikea, you can easily fold it and store in your garage. It's not the fanciest in the market, but it's surely the best cost-benefit.

Their S-300 anti air system we'd probably saturate with our Astros-2020 MLRS, but we don't really have our own anti air against high, fast targets such as fighter jets and missiles, our ground anti air are only against helicopters, so we rely too much on our good old F-5Ms...

    I wish Saab would start making cars again, I had a 2000 9-5 wagon that was seriously awesome, It felt incredibly safe and had plenty of power.

      Nevs is for sale, you should buy it and convince Saab to let you use the brand name ;-)

    are the big straight public roads in north still able to launch and land these planes? I know they were made for older jets, but the roads still looks solid and it is kinda cool seeing those pockets in the forest where I assume one should be parked :o

      The airstrip roads can launch these planes easier than before

      South Africa loves theirs. Had the pleasure of seeing the SAAF Gripen and Hawks flying recent. The Gripen is so flipping silent compaired to the hawk

    Dude! Great point. Its not only about what the plane can do performance wise but supportability, and upkeep plays a huuuge part in longevity also!

    Seeing situation in Ukraine I'm thinking about getting a Gripen as well. Do you have some kind of discount coupons available?
