During the War game dubbed "Falcon Strike 2015", Chinese J-11 (Su-27) and Thai Gripen C went head-on for a week. At the opening of the exercise, the Flankers did well in close range engagements (for at least two days). Mainly relying on IRST and PL-8s; but the glory was short lived, when the fight went from short to long range. The Gripens won from that point on until the end of the War Game. Note: To sum up; Excellent training is key for victory along with good sensors.

The AOA Limiter once again proving that it's there for a good reason. The Cobra is simply a maneuver without much use. You either do it perfectly and at the perfect moment, or you're dead/bailed out. And that's just for gunfights. In Fox-2 fights it's even riskier.

Gripen is my favorite fighter! I’m glad that both you and GS made a video featuring the Gripen 2 weeks before my birthday... Thank You!

Congrats, and thank you

Something that is lost in these flight simulators is the electronic warfare capability in a group of Gripen planes. A group of Gripens can network with each other and share radar and tactical data in a way that few other aircraft can do, which can give them a whole other lever of combat awareness than just one-on-one dogfigt ever can show.

Best line “Damnit, I need those parts!” once all my tests are done I look forward to flying again.

This is awesome seeing the fight from both povs. It really is just a completely different experience. Not often to get both so viscerally. Flying fighter jets is a very 'in your head' experience and usually very personal. So bringing us along for the ride means a lot. :)

If Saab manages to add thrust vectoring on JAS-39 in future, it will be brutal plane :)

@LRRPFco52

Brutally even more weak. The current shape of the F404 convergent-divergent nozzle on the Gripen is key to eeking out energy retention since its T/W is less than 1:1. A TVC nozzle would significantly mess with the center of balance of the airframe and add several hundred pounds, while also making arctic operation much more difficult to do. Notice how Russia pulled the TVC nozzles from the MiG-35, making it an option for FMS customers. Multi-axis TVC is heavy and complicated, with significant challenges for operation in extreme cold. The Gripen can’t afford another weight penalty on it.

@marcushillerstrom25

Thrust vectoring is good in a dogfight, but the Gripen is not supposed to be used in that role. It's supposed to fire meteor missiles from bvr.

You don't want to get in a turning fight with the Saab Gripen. Su class fighters are best at using " High Angle of Attack "

This had the quickness AND intensity of a Fox2 fight so that's a great touch. Also, nice 4v2 against GS too mate! That was a Fox3 flurry without a doubt..

If only the Jas-39 Gripen, which is an older version of the aircraft, is already capable of shooting down a fighter as powerful as the Su-27, imagine only the Gripen-NG that Brazil bought, it will be much much much more better than the Jas-39 Gripen, the main advantage of the Gripen-NG and seeing and attacking the fighters from a long distance like the F-35, in the dogfight despite being well prepared I think the pilot would not risk it without there being so much need, I think the Brazil made a good choice since the Gripen is cheaper to operate than the other fighters.

LongShot You have to leave the line of fire at the last moment, when approaching, and cut the corner so that the enemy does not shoot aimingly along the predictable trajectory of your movement, but you did not do this and was punished for it. Train better and hard, only with practice will you understand.

Even when he was caught, he had the opportunity to shoot twice... the Gripen E must be a demon!

Great! Do a su-35 vs gripen or rafale next since you happen to have the su-35 mod, right?

Great video! Can you also try the Su-30 MKI/MKM Mod? They are being used by Indian and Malaysian Airforce.

Remember that Gripen E/F is a new and larger fighter than Gripen C/D you are flying.

At the exercise you mention in 2015, the J-11 (SU-27) the Thai Gripen got kicked handsomely in the WVR but Gripen kicked ass in the BVR. The SU-27 should have advantage at higher altitude. From the Chinese debrief it sounded like they need mire BVR training, I suppose the Thai pilots can use some more WVR hours. But if you deny an opponent to get WVR... I suppose BVR is a better investment.

Out of curiosity, is that tube connected to the HUD on the SU-27 a vacuum tube? Like old school computer vacuums? I can’t think of what else it might be, but it would surprise me to find out that the Russians are still using vacuum tube tech in the 21st century. If anyone could inform me on the topic I’d appreciate it.

Just signed a petition For longshot to get those parts back. 👍

I think that most modern air frames are capable of winning a dog fight. In the end it really depends on pilot skill.

Nice video... But someone needs to answer that phone😝

It kinda amazes me that as a whole, Europe has all the combat airplanes that are really needed(there are specialised roles that another type would be better suited for) for it's own Air Force, completely independent from companies outside of Europe... The "class" means similar performance characteristics and mission parameters, not size: F-16C class Light Fighter - Gripen E F-18C class Multirole Fighter - Gripen E F-15C class Interceptor/AS Fighter - Typhoon F-18E/F class Multirole and Carrier Fighter - Rafale Air-Ground armament focused Strike Fighter - Rafale, Typhoon AND Gripen E Forward Air Controller - Gripen E again Nuclear delivery system, ECM and Anti-Radar Strike Fighter - Tornado... currently being replaced by modified Typhoons in Germany Now that's a primarily defensive setup(despite the Nuclear delivery system... that's a NATO obligation)... the more offensive ones are in the design pipeline right now. As said, it amazes me... and confuses me as well. I don't get why any European Country with the exception of the UK would feel the need to buy any other than these three aircraft. They can fulfill any role with the exception of VTOL and High Altitude Bomber. Especially the Gripen is an absolute bargain for the capabilities it brings to the table(or battlefield). By all accounts it should have replaced most of the European Countries F-16's and F-18's years ago. But then there was the Joint Strike Fighter program... the F-35 Lightning II. Now, I'm not going to take a dump on Fat Amy(already it's nickname ^^), I do believe that it's capabilities are very advanced especially in the Multirole and Strike Fighter role. And of course, the UK has only VTOL Carriers, so they hadn't much choice. The whole controversy around it had to do with cost overruns, Military-Industrial Complex politics and other, non-aircraft specific factors. But Donald Trump gave Europe as a whole a taste of what it would be like if the US suddenly became a non-reliable supplier, like Russia... so why do we *STILL* rely on non-European military aircraft suppliers, like during 20th Century 60ties or 70ties? I just don't get it.

Great fight.

Just read the Falcon Strike 2015 summary. Pretty obvious Gripen is underpowered from that summary, and just a rudimentary reading of its numbers. I've made the same criticisms on Gripen's Wiki page. Thrust:Weight, range, ect are with 3 drops of fuel and stripped clean. F414 isn't going to fix that.

How about Gripen vs F16 ?

Is the Gripen in DCS have Thrust Vector System?

It's 2 : 2 Good fight and good night

Смешно сравнивать две эти машины, СУ-27(который кстати уже порядком устарел и заменяется на СУ-30-35) Называется истребителем завоевания господства в воздухе(название говорит само за себя). Технологией производства таких машин обладают всего три страны США, Россия и Китай, причём у последнего они практически точная копия российских. И если, как тут пишут, Грипен, Рафаль и прочие машины такого класса могли бы на равных противостоять машинам класса СУ27, то какой тогда был бы смысл в их создании? А, что касается утановки(в дальнейшем) двигателей с ОВТ на самолёты класса Грипен, то это анекдот, ибо Европейское самолетостроение ещё и близко не освоило подобные технологии.
