    Canada had a chance to buy a fleet of these things and turned it down in favor of the F35. I love the F35 and what it brings and I understand the decision had a lot to do with NORAAD compatibility, but when you have a tiny airforce and a huge amount of airspace to cover the Gripen just makes more sense to me.

      @@jasonolson1593 An American here, and after seeing the Gripen perform in the Red Flag Exercises in Alaska, I am an avid fan, placing more faith in Sweden's 4.5 generation airframe than I do with the F-35. I have come to the conclusion that the F-35 is repeating the same doctrinal failures of the F-4 Phantom. Conversely, the Gripen knows exactly what its mission is, and doesn't pretend to do anything else.

    The key point every single Gripen CZcams video misses is that the Gripen is built to be like the Borg. They mention "datalink2 bla bla bla, but miss the point. As does this video. The Gripen is The Borg. Everything is shared in real time at all time. The full view of the battlefield is updated in real time, sharing data sources from all sensors, not only radar, but also ground units and so on. It's more advanced than the F-35 in this field.

    For the life of me, I cannot figure out why small European countries like the Czech Republic and Switzerland (and even Poland or Finland) are buying the F35 and not the Gripen C or E? It is nearly as capable as the F35 and is so much cheaper to operate (or buy in the case of the C model). I guarantee there will be buyers remorse when they realize they can't fly as much due to cost per hour. I understand this is partly due to the connection with the US but the Gripen does use some US components so that connection is still there if not to a smaller degree.

    One of the biggest factors in fighter jet cost is whether they are single engine (Gripen, F-16) or twin engine (Typhoon, Rafale, F-15). The engine is the component around which the rest of the aircraft is built, and they are $10s millions per engine. That's a big chunk of the cost difference, in both purchase price and cost per hour. Double the engines means double the consumables, maintenance and checks.

Maybe it has to do really well in that percpective since the stronger radar-signature, but no dubt the electric warfare capacity, aswell as the weapon systems, of this monster is really impressive.

      That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard. There's a reason technology has evolved over the entire history of mankind and that's to make individual skill gaps irrelevant. This is why bows beat slings, crossbows beat bows and guns beat crossbows. This is why the best fighter pilot in history piloting a Mig-15 will never be able to beat the dumbest, most incompetent pilot on an F-35.

      It’s rumored that Ukrainian pilots have trained on Gripen in simulator. Personally, I think that Gripen shares design philosophy with other Western fighters. So coming from MiG or Shukoi, any training in F-16 should be largely applicable to Gripen.

    Just for reference, re: joint wargames engagements vs USAF/USN/USMC - the US military likes to play in "Nightmare" mode, and generally handicaps their pilots, operating on the principle that their pilots, and the force as a whole gain little to nothing if we go in gangbusters.
    Not saying a F-15/F-16 vs. Gripen engagement would be "USA is playing on godmode" against the Gripen if they weren't handicapped, but it would not be as lopsided as it sounds here. A relatively recent example was in recent wargames where the Philippines Air Force was involved as an opponent, they scored a couple of simulated intercepts with their aircraft on F-22s. The rules of engagement required visual range engagement, and the F-22s were equipped with external drop tanks carrying 6000lbs of extra fuel, negating their stealth and reducing their maneuverability. The Philippines were flying KAI FA-50PHs, a light attack version of the KAI T-50 supersonic trainer.
    That said, Gripen C's would be more than a match for the Su-35/Su-34 or the MiG-27s, especially given the pilot skill delta and the ability to utilize current spec NATO BVR munitions. Going to Gripen E would make it even more lopsided.

    Air Force veteran here. I need to correct you on your assessment of Red Flag, we lose on purpose. Those American pilots were ordered not to use the full capabilities of their aircraft, nerfed on purpose so that our side showcased pilot skill more so than the technological prowess of the plane. We can absolutely win those exercises with the F-15 and F-16, but the US figured out a long time ago that you learn more when you lose; and when it comes to winning, it's more important to win the war than some fake battle.

      😁 But of course you did! So you're saying you folded 10 times the first day in red flag? lol..
      ‘Gripen first participated in Red Flag 2006 with the Gripen A,’ says Stefan Englund , former Swedish Air Force Flight Engineer on Quora. ‘It was assigned to the red team. Reduced AWACS, reduced ground support. The Gripens connected their link systems and acted themselves as AWACs, got the battlefield awareness necessary and avoided all ground defence, scored 10 kills the first day including a Typhoon. No losses they remained undetected. One Gripen pilot knocked down five F-16 block 50+ during close air combat in Red Flag Alaska. And the Gripens never lost any aerial encounter or failed their mission objectives. It was the only fighter that performed all planed starts, while others were sitting on the ground waiting for the weather to clear up. The evaluation was that Gripen capacity needed to be revaluated.
