#gripen

https://www.europesays.com/1995762/ Awaiting delivery of the F-35A acquired from the U.S., the Czech Republic is negotiating with Sweden to extend the lease of the Gripen fighters currently operated by its Air Force #F35 #Gripen #nyheter #Sverige #sweden

The F-35 is probably a better #fighter, on the whole, than the current version of the JAS 39. The F-47 will probably be better than the next version. But the best plane is the one you can get in the air.

Export restrictions, maintenance requirements, and the possibility of a "kill switch" make any US-built military aircraft a terrible bet for most customers. If Saab can find an alternate engine (the current powerplant is built by General Electric) then the #Gripen becomes a clearly better choice.

Saab claims its #ECM capabilities can be upgraded to make it the equal of any "stealth fighter." I don't know enough to evaluate this claim. I do know that if I were in charge of defense acquisitions for anywhere outside the US, I'd be willing to toss a coin to find out.

Colombia chooses the JAS-39 #Gripen as their next fighter aircraft, replacing the Kfir, an Israeli variant of the Mirage 5. This is the deal USA was supposed to veto based on Gripen using an American GE F414 engine.

The Gripen was our second choice after the F-35 but now that we are re-examining the buy of F-35's I hope SAAB is re-tooling to use a European engine.

@MeanwhileinCanada #Gripen is better choice for shure!

@mcc We have an excellent company called SAAB here in the Nordics, which produces a jet fighter specially designed for northern latitutes called the JAS-39 Gripen.

Canada should check it out. Here is the brochure, in case you’re in the mood for some online shopping

#Portugal has decided it will not replace its current F-16 fighter jets with F-35s, and will instead consider European alternatives such as the #Rafale or #Gripen.

In a statement, the Ministry of defence stated: "The predictability of our allies must be taken into account when making procurement decisions" (updated translation)

Got back home to do some proper editing of the airplanes that flew over Stockholm City today. They went so low I had to zoom out a bit when they were overhead.

Tohle říkám od chvíle kdy Američanům hráblo. #eu a #čr by se měla vykašlat na #f35 a raději koupit třeba větší množství stíhaček #gripen . Napadlo mě, že v případě konfliktu například s #Russia by nám to amík vypnul. No a hele na #Ukraine už to zažili. Američani už nejsou spolehlivý spojenec (možná i bez toho slova 'spolehlivý '). #Trump za dva měsíce zničil vše co západ 80 let budoval. Hezky se zapsal do historie.

Sweden will deploy JAS Griped fighter jets to Poland to protect NATO’s logistical support for Ukraine and conducting aerial surveillance over Poland.

@NeonPurpleStar @mcnado Honestly, I'm a fan of the #Eurofighter /#Typhoon . #Gripen is pretty good too.

@bert_hubert@fosstodon.org This makes the US's insistence that Ukraine receive no Swedish #Gripen planes show in a totally different light. They intended for the possibility of this betrayal from the start..m
