Stood in front of a real one aswell during a presentation. I was on the verge of believing that it wasn`t actually the real thing simply because of its size. At first I thought they parked a Gripen Mock-Up on the ramp just so the public could get an idea for it. But no, all of a sudden, one of the two test pilots that were on site that day, started the walk-around, jumped in and fired her up. The F-18 next to it all of a sudden looked humongous. The Gripen is dwarfed by pretty much every other western counterpart. But once they took her airborne, that`s where the real magic started. This thing is a sky-dancer. Extremely nimble. Awesome capabilities. Getting into a dogfight with one of those must be quite horrifying. And before anyone starts, I`m well aware of the fact that classic dofights like they happened in Vietnam, are very rare nowadays. But, there`s a reason that even the most sophisticated fighers still have an internal cannon. And while most western jets got the 20mm vulcan, the Gripen actually packs a 27mm cannon.

Ohhh I totally missed this one. Thanks Chris. I like your plane walkarounds.

Thanks Chris, that's the closest I've ever been (or likely to get) to a Gripen. I've always admired a relatively small country like Sweden for producing top class competitive fighter aircraft like the Lansen, Draken, Viggen and Gripen. I've also admired their strategic smarts like designing highways in sections which could be operated for these aircraft. After dragged out on and off again saga that finally saw Canada end up choosing the F-35A, I was a little disappointed that we didn't decide to buy the Gripen, (which was the alternative if 'negotiations' with Lockheed Martin and the US government didn't work out). Yes, I know about the 'interoperability' thing and how NATO had standardized on the JSF combat systems but I understand the Gripen had pretty competitive systems of its own. It would have underscored our independence and given the cheaper purchase and operating costs the Gripen might have seen a great deal of public money saved and spent where it was urgently needed elsewhere. I've read that the F-35 'stealth' only truly applies within relatively narrow frontal angles and much less elsewhere, so I think that was likely oversold as part of the 'Fifth Generation ®' slogan. Still Canada/US politics being what they are these days there would have been serious diplomatic and trade consequences for doing such a thing and I have little doubt we would have been made to feel like fifth wheels in NATO. Still have to admire the Swedes for protecting both their territory and their independence so well for so long with SAAB. I hope they will prosper and retain most of their independence within NATO.

Well as a Swede the SAAB story is a complicated one. On one hand they have created good and even excellent equipment for the armed forces. On the other the government's special treatment of SAAB has meant that equipment procurement has often been driven by industrial rather than defence concerns. For example the Swedish navy found itself without anti-ship missiles for some of the most dangerous years of the Cold War because SAAB was able to convince a newly elected government to cancel the Harpoon order and instead buy a SAAB missile which did not even exist as a prototype. With the Gripen the project ran over budget and the full scale procurement even though the SweAF did no longer need 200 Gripens meant the other parts of the armed forces were starved of funding. Likewise the Gripen E effectively consumed much of the defence investments at a time when Swedish soldiers were short of basic equipment like winter boots and ammunition for training. So there has been some real pros and cons with SAAB as a major supplier of military equipment. But one thing that has never been lacking so far is quality. They do good work in Linköping.

It’s not all about thrust to weight. Aerodynamics are just as important. A good example of this is the Saab Draken vs Saab Lansen. They have similar thrust but the Draken is capable of Mach 2+ whereas the Lansen is barely supersonic. Main difference between the two? Air resistance aka drag.

Just a clarification. "Robot" does indeed mean "missile", but only within the military. In the normal world, "robot" just means "robot", as in English and many other languages. The word for "missile" in the normal world is "missil" (pronounced like "miss-EEL"). Why the military chose to use such a bizarre word for missile in the 1940s is beyond me, but it shouldn't be used at all unless you're actually in the armed forces. They like to have their own words and terms for a lot of things.

Gripen C will be updated to the same avionics as Gripen E, exept the nose AESA with GaN tech, which is the most advanced that exist. The C will then have higher RCS, lower payload, shorter range, fewer hardpoints and lower super cruise than Gripen E. The engine will be upgrade to higher power too. So yes, it will be a formidabel war fighting machine. Not as the E though, which will have the same GaN nose AESA in the future. By the way, All Gripen is carrier capable and the Gripen M is carrier optimized Gripen E: the longest range, second fastest supercruise, highest agility, next generation avionics, longest stealthy multirole radio link range, best awareness of the battle space, built in 360 degree GaN EW that rival the Growler, highest availability, lowest logistik footprint, STOL. The troubled F-35 looks like something from the olden time in comparision. They will try to upgrade it to the same standard as Gripen in 2027. Where will Gripen be then?
