British Reaction To JAS 39 Gripen: How Sweden Built The World's Best Non Stealth Fighter Jet sweden swedish military reaction
No! JAS stands for J (jakt) Hunt, A (attack) attack, S (spaning) reconnaissance.
It can be configured in these three ways. That's what JAS stands for!
Correct!
Indeed
Many people are wrong about when they hear the name SAAB, that they immediately think that it is about the car brand SAAB.
The company's full name was Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget, which gave the abbreviation Saa. In 1937, SAAB started building fighter planes and then the engineers designed the SAAB 92. SAAB has been building fighter planes since the company was created.
Today, Saab produces a wide range of products that contribute to the military defense of Sweden. Everything from the well-known Gripen fighter aircraft, to the Giraffe radar system and the GlobalEye reconnaissance and guidance system, submarines and surface ships such as the Gotland class and the Visby class to name a few
That Saab even started producing cars was due to lower amounts of aircrafts being wanted.
I think of "Seinfeld".
The best with Gripen is that you can upgrade it just like a telephone and use it for many different purposes. And that they can connect the radar to a whole group so they can “see” everything and go to attack and be on the way before even be located by the enemy. And that the work closely with the ground troupes and artillery. And they use regular roads as take off and landing so no base has to be used, only a truck and a couple of people to reload and fill up and the can take off in just a couple of minutes (like a F1 pit, but a little slower😏)
Sweden is home to engineering. Having some 11 million people, products and systems developed and made here include jet fighters, submarines, two state-of-the-art heavy truck manufacturers, earth moving equipment, cell phone networks, state-of-the-art special steel, special tooling based on super alloys, and much more. All global and/or state-of-the-art or beyond. In short, home of engineering.
SAAB was started as an airoplane manufacturer.
The cars came later and is no more.
SAAB stands for Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget.
In english that Swedisch airoplane AB. (AB is a compane owned by share holders. Like Ltd. in the UK or Inc. in the USA).
SAAB made cars based on the ideas from their aircraft production. These cars are very nice. I had a black SAAB 9-5 2.3t sedan with dark windows and 210 hp. Nicest car I ever had, but living in the countryside, not being able to support two cars, I opted to sell it and keep my C4 Grand Picasso, my work donkey. I'm still sad, but the SAAB needed quite a lot of tender loving care that I couldn't afford. Even though the cars were made in Sweden, they were in a hurry to convert themselves into rust due to the harsh winter weather. The car manufacturing was finally closed down in 2011 IIRC.
Gripen is built on a modular platform, which means you can switch out the entire electronic suite as one whole package and have a completely new configuration or even a newer version of the fighter jet in less than an hour.
It also carries the most advanced electronic warfare suite in the world with 100% spherical coverage, which includes 360 degree flare/chaff coverage. The spherical radar system means the Gripen can detect an enemy fighter off the coast yet still track it even though it flies along the coastline, 90 degrees perpendicular to the enemy craft. It's also equipped with AI-assisted Intuitive HMC (Human Machine Collaboration).
The system is also completely integrated with ground and maritime forces simultaneously, allowing them to all work as one and share battlefield information instantly. For example, if a ship detects an enemy submarine, every fighter pilot will have instant access to that information, or if a Gripen detects a ground-based enemy missile systems, every mobile command center and ship will have instant access to that information as well.
Oh, and it also has radar spoofing and duplication. AI can copy the enemy radar signature and send it back to make it look as if the Gripen is actually a friendly aircraft. It can also duplicate its own radar signature and make it look as if there's three Gripen in the air instead of just one.
the purchase price of the Gripen may be higher than the F-16 but once purchased it is the cheapest to operate multirole fighter jet in the world! Truly a marvel of engineering!
SAAB = Svenska Aeroplan Aktie - bolaget (Swedish Aeroplane Corporation (acronym SAAB)
J = Jakt = Hunt
A = Attack = Attack
S = Spaning = Recon
A/B, C/D, E/F = model/series designation. A, C, E = Single seater. B/D/F = Two seater.

It's Griipen, not Grippen, just one P. I'm proud of it.
Daykenn and Vaigen... this guy, it also has two Gs in the name!
That makes no sence to someone who's first language is English.
It should be pronounced "Greepen". "ee" as in "Jeep".
@@JH-lo9ut It does make sense but I guess if that helps you can write it like that. Was just using the same spelling, and he said the i correct in "Grippen" so just extend it and don't do pp.
The "i" in "Gripen" should be pronunced more similar to "ee" in "feel", id est a "long i". And the "i" in "Viggen" should be pronunced more like english speakers pronunce "i" in "Gripen", i.e. "short i".
A grip is a mythological creature, in english griffin, a mix between a lion and a bird. "Gripen" means "The Griffin"
Haven't heard of the F-16 Figher Falcon? Duuuude 😅
that video is butchering the Swedish names soooooo bad

SAAB started out making airplanes during WWII but the need for planes dropped and they needed something else to do and started making cars. SAAB is short for Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget (Swedish Airplane Limited). They sold off the car building part and it ceased it's production in 2011.
No "generations" crap, no "stealth" crap. Good flying abilitis, massiv jamming systems. Instead, loads of weapons speed and cheap to fly. Easy to maintain. Different approach...😮
Due to its small size, it gives a less prominent radar echo.
SAAB was originally a military aircraft manufacturer. Sweden began research into making an atomic bomb. Sweden built several nuclear power plants with the secret purpose of producing its own weapon Plutonium. When it was 1 year from detonating its first atomic bomb, it came out what Atomskyd's research was about. Had the project not been stopped, Sweden would have been the 3rd country to have nuclear weapons, before England and France. The project was stopped in the Riksdag and all allocated money instead went to the air force, which built the 4th largest in the world at the time. When that money ran out, SAAB stood with a lot of industrial capacity but no major orders. Then they at SAAB realized that they could start building cars as emergency work to have something to do (the design was a bit like an airplane cockpit).
The Gipen took little and money training to maintain.
One that did not know that Saab and there cars where influenced by the Saab's long exparience in transport and fighter airplane manufacturing since late 1930's fighters was made before they did go into carproduction as after ww2 ended Saab began start car production, and as said before the cars was influenced by the airplanes in design, Wich rock one has been under to have missed Saab "(S)venska (A)reo (A)ktie (B)olaget" Aka "Swedish Aero joint-stock company", is more known for it's aero industry than for it's cars,...=D
they didn't tell us much about the rcs and radar capabilities.
slightly disappointed.
SAAB-AB(-AB-AB…) Echo?
Kind of funny to me how the speaker of the video pronounces "Viggen" as something like "Vegan", and "Gripen" as "Gripping". When it should be the other way around. Gripen, vegan. Viggen, gripping. Short vowel, long vowel. Feet, fit. You have it in English. Feet is pronounced differently from fit. This is what is going on here, so why can't you get it right? Duh! 🙂
F/A/S much like the Super Hornet, but better.
Saab makes planes but the cars have stopped being manufactured beccause they didn't get sold and they died but it makes sence beccause it is origanaly a plane company
The Saab car division was sold to GM which ran it into the ground
The reason the car business was sold as well as the truck division Scania is that the company wanted to focus on security and defense products
are you nutts...SAAB is one of the most wersatile companies in Europa today...they make cars ..beter than the British my opinion and all that...they make so many things!!!!!
You really believe Sweden creates its own airforce? Just 70 planes should be sufficient to '''defend''' the country? And, please, how can a small populated country expand that much money for less then a 100 planes, and maybe some country wants to buy a few planes? Come on: we're way beyond the 1WW, even the 2nd, and Sweden, as it has never been attacked, provides these machines???
What's your suggestion? That Sweden plans to invade Russia? 😂
In the sixties Sweden had the fourth largest Air Force. Ca 1500 jets
