I have followed the Gripen for years and at this point it's the only modern fighter I would admit finding interesting other than the F-23. This is the best Gripen info I have ever found. Very good work. After red flag, there was zero news. Now we know why.

I see people arguing about specs, but todays warfare is more about BVR and EW than anything. Physical stealth was a thing but there is so much advanced tech on the planes so its not that important as electronic stealth nowadays. This is where JAS has its edge (in some areas but on the most important ones imo.) and this is one of the reason Gripen is still around.

I live in Linköping, the hometown of SAAB and the Swedish airforce. I wake up to the thunder of the Gripen engine a few times a week and see them in the sky and try to take video when I can. I really appreciate this video and I learned more about our Gripen. Thank you!

Built with the same common sense engineering the Russians use. There is a lot to be said about designing something from a viewpoint of... what if our maintenance facilities and runways are less that pristine...because... bombs... Its a given that this is a glaring weakness in US designs, maybe because the US was not directly attacked in WW2, their designs take facilities availability forgranted. The problem is missile ranges are now such that a widespread assault on those facilities is increasingly likely if not inevitable in a widespread major war.. Guess what nations aircraft will keep flying for a good while even if all their engineers are wiped out and conscripts have to maintain the fleets... Sweden will be one of them.... Russia will be the other. Few other nations seem to value this down to earth common sense approach, simplicity and low maintenance keeps aircraft flying if you lose facilities to missiles . Extremely cool design, can't help but admire it.

Avro Arrow don’t know if I would say the F-35 are trash, but it’s not build for as an air superiority fighter ist like it’s secondary capability while the Gripen as the F-15 and F-16 are build for air superiority first and then the other abilities are added on later. I think the program was stupid F-35 ware, they should have gone for the F-35B as one plane and the F-35A and F-35C as an other. That had made the project or then projects much cheaper and the A and C version could have been more like an one engine more modern F-22. But I do think the F-35 have got more bed press then it deserves. If you need to take out targets in an area covered by AA systems like the S-300 or S-400 it’s clearly really useful, and it’s low RCS clearly make it a pain in the area for opponents. The F-35A has dropped down to a procurement cost that are really competitive and if you need a STOVL plane the F-35B are by far the best you could hope to get at the moment. But if you look on lifetime cost and availability the Gripen is just the best. It’s EW suit are one of the best if not the best, and probably the best out there. It got a relatively low RCS, and it does everything else really well when it comes to defending an airspace. When it comes to attack ground and sea targets it’s OK. But it’s ability to handle rough landing strips aka roads are an huge advantage to. Though it I had to build an air force from scratch right now I think I would go for 2/3 Gripen E’s and 1/3 F-35A’s for the multirole fighter part. The RAF kind of does this, they got Eurofighters for air supremacy and F-35A’s to take over from the older attack planes. While their navy use F-35B’s but really there are no choice there as they need to use STOVL planes and nothing they can get would be better then the F-35B not even for air supremacy.

My country (Bulgaria) was considering ordering Gripens. They are perfect for us - as a small country the low range and single engine are not a problem. Cheap flight hours would be vital, as a poor country this would allow us to have proper training without breaking the bank. In the same time we would have a modern fighter with many decades' worth of development and upgrades in the future. But politics intervened and we got the F16 instead. A 40 year-old plane. It was once the best, and is still quite good, but without a future.

The avionics and sensor suite in the F-16V Block 70/72 for example, are way more modern and capable than those in the old F-16s. www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/f-16/f-16-bulgaria.html#bulgarian kzread.info/dash/bejne/e2RlpZiRna_UqJc.html www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/aero/documents/F-16/Jan20_Product%20Card%20F-16%20Block%207072%20media.pdf www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/aero/documents/F-16/F-16_FastFactsJune2020.pdf You also say the F-16 is an aircraft without a future... Yet, so far, excluding obviously Sweden, the Gripen E/F has been ordered/bought only by Brazil (36 aircraft) (and btw, basically Brazil only chose the Gripen in their F-X2 program in return for participation in the Gripen E/F program and a lot of ToT... And the NSA scandal that emerged at the time, also helped the swedes quite a bit) On the other hand, Block 70/72 F-16s have been ordered/bought by: - your country Bulgaria - 8 brand new F-16V Block 70 aircraft; - Slovakia - 14 brand new F-16V Block 70/72 aircraft; - Morocco - 25 brand new F-16V Block 72 aircraft + upgrade of their existing 23 F-16C/D Block 52plus to F-16V Block 72; - Greece, one of your neighbors - upgrade of 84 F-16C/D Block 52plus aircraft to the F-16V Block 72 standard; - Bahrain - 19 brand new F-16V Block 70 aircraft + upgrade of their older 20 F-16C/D Block 40 to F-16V Block 70; - Taiwan - 66 brand new F-16V Block 70 aircraft + upgrade of their older 142 F-16A/Bs to F-16V standard So, as you can see, judging by the way things are going, the F-16 clearly has a more promising future than the Gripen.

USA must think that the F-16s belongs to the past_ ..!" What's this supposed to mean? What's your point? The last F-16 (a Block 50 jet) for the USAF was delivered in 2005. That was the last of 2231 F-16s made for the USAF since 1974. Since then (the 2000s), the USAF didn't want any more F-16s and stopped buying them simply because they were about to have/receive the first units of the F-35A, which is a much more capable and superior aircraft... A generation ahead and a true successor of the F-16. (and why was the USAF investing in new aircraft? Basically because of two reasons mostly: 1) America's potential adversaries were developing increasingly better and more capable aircraft and air defences, which the existing 4th gen aircraft like the F-16 would not be able to handle in the long term; 2) A good chunk of the F-16s were getting old and tired... Replacements were needed;) I thought this was well known and obvious... lol

The ability to network with other systems while in silent mode allows Gripen to position itself for a kill. Excellent systems like Giraffe act as extended tracking ( US now buying Giraffe as they know how capable it is ) . The IRST is also a modern and capable unit giving a stealth mode to add to the EW and the best weapons integration ability on the market.

Biggest issue I see with the JAS-39E is the added weight over the preceding JAS-39C. It's now up to 8000 kg empty (1200 kg more than the C), and 11400 kg clean fully fueled (2200 kg more than the C). Hence the wing loading went up by quite a bit, from 306 kg/m2 to 380 kg/m2. Meanwhile thrust only went up marginally. So whilst it has been greatly upgraded electronically, the kinematic performance of the jet has taken a hit with the new E variant.

Gripen vs F-35 is a tough decision. Canada helped to produce the F-35, but it really depends on what needs the nation needs to meet. Being fairly close to Russia, stealth should be a priority, but the price tag of the Gripen cannot be overlooked either. Cost per flight hour may sway the decision towards the Gripen, but the more F-35's that are sold, the lower the price drops per unit. Either way, I don't think that they can go wrong. The Philippines are also considering purchasing Gripens as well.

@Millennium7 - one correction re: the Gripen E/F AESA radar - it's the Selex (Leonardo) ES-05 Raven radar and it's based on GaAs not GaN. Interestingly - Saab recently announced its own GaN based AESA radar that's added onto the back end of its existing PS-05/A Mk 4 mechanically-scanned radar that is the current option for the Gripen C/D (guessing the AESA version will be denominated PS-05/A Mk 5). The new “Saab AESA fighter radar” isn't currently planned to incorporate a rotating swashplate. Per Saab: "In the Gripen installation, the array is fixed with Saab opting for this configuration due to its simplicity and reliability. The concept of using a repositioner was initially discarded as advanced digital processing can overcome most of the problems associated with radar performance at the outer edges of the scanning volume without adding the internal space required to accommodate a repositioning system. However, Carp commented that a repositioning system could be employed if trials showed that it was necessary." www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2020-04-24/saab-flies-new-gan-fighter-radar My guess is that - at least at present - Saab is sticking with the Leonardo GaAs AESA radar per a contractual arrangement that the parties entered into several yrs back as part of the Gripen development. However - Leonardo is also part of the Eurofighter consortium and that consortium has developed '3 Captor E' AESA variants - all of which also include swashplates and 2 different lower cost fixed plate AESA radars and the most recent versions of the radars incorporated GaN vs GaAs so I'm guessing Saab could spec a GaN version of the Leonardo ES-05 Raven radar for an upcharge ... or maybe future goodwill :). Final note is that the EW system on the Gripen E/F does incorporated GaN.

The basic need for the Jas A to E is to detect and kill SU 30 and SU 35. As it is now there will be no problem for Jas E to do this as a jas E will detect a SU 35 long before it detects the Jas E. The problem for Sweden is that the Jas C while being able to detect a SU 30 at well over 160 km will have problem doing the same with a SU 35. The radar on the SU 35 is a competent radar, by installing the new GaN radar on the Jas C and D they will increase detection range by 70% thus making it possible to detect A SU 35 at well over 200 km. The SU 35 will detect a Jas C at aproximatly 150 km. The Jas E will be harder to detect for the SU 35 since there is more RAM built into Jas E. The early detection is crucial for the Jas planes since it gives them a possibility to angle themself towards the SU planes in a way that they have the lowest RCS fasing the SU planes. This can be done by altering your angle of the plane by altering the altitude.

love the Gripen now more love for it

I'm convinced that the U.S. should trade some F-35's for some Gripen E's. The F-16 is great, but when it comes to versatility, flight hour costs, and combat readiness, it could be argued that there's a hole that needs filled in, and the Gripen could fit it perfectly. Also, we could use some of those fancy Meteor missiles too, or they should produce something like them. Many 5th gen fighters are still using 4th gen weapons.

Brazil is in talks right now to buy roughly 30 more Gripen E/F fighters from Sweden, in additional to the 36 that have already been signed for. If the economical situation improves as the pandemic finally dies off, we might actually be able to buy all the 108 fighters that the Brazilian Air Force considers necessary to be able to properly secure our airspace.

Sweden have devoloped some fairly gamechanging things in the world of technology and inventions considering that its population is around 8mil ppl.

One aerodynamic parameter I seldom see mentioned is frontal cross section area. Ballistics modeling for drag is largely affected by the frontal cross section. Thrust to weight ratio is well respected but the benefits of low drag (e.g. j20, Gripen)vs high drag (e.g. F35) is less appreciated, especially at higher air speeds.

Good videos. This is one of my favourite aircraft, the others being the Harrier(1st gen) and the TSR2

One reason was not only the available planes, but the avionics and links were of such a standard that any plane would have been a downgrade. This is why a simpler version was kept as a museum fighter, the last version was so technically advanced to maintain they could not keep it operative as a non fleet plane but it would still today give a f16 a good run for the money. Gripen had some issues but basically it had very few failures vs the draken and viggen where literally hundreds of pilots died in the dev. Over the years ( no joke) several died every year, but it was the cold war era..thats how it was needed.

There are several in fact. The main concern was and still is that the airforce gets such priority that the other branches fall behind. The development of the Viggen system had already put a lot of strain on the material budget, and the army was looking to replace the aging tank fleet. Thus, the military thought F-16 or something similar would be sufficient, making more room for other posts. So, there were calculations made by SAAB et al. (at this time, SAAB was mostly building the airframes) showing that production of the new aircraft would be cheaper than buying.... and for the savings to cover the development costs, the break-even was 204 aircraft.

Shipping is important if economy depends on exports, and any invasion has to come over sea, so the Swedish navy had the priority over the airforce and army. By 1936, things looked a lot bleaker and by 1939 Sweden was desperately trying to find weapons and equipment to buy in order to rebuild her armed forces.

In 1997, the Swedish politrickans concluded there was no forces capable to doing an invasion on the other side the Baltic Sea, so Sweden could afford a Strategic Timeout and look over the military thoroughly. It was decided Invasion defence was obsolete, and the modern way to defend Sweden was an expeditionary force joining other expeditionary forces in Farawayistan.

The EPE would give the F-414 a thrust to weight of approx. 11:1. A EPE upgrade to Gripen E/F would mean ~40% max thrust increase over C/D.

As far cost and mission variety the gripen is probably the best bang for buck

I guess it's all about the radar special when you could fire a missile a hundred miles away

If the radar is able to fire to the rear, how do they avoid frying the pilot?

reminds me of the F5 tigershark in terms of potential

Can you fire an Active Radar missile via passive IRST data to provide initial solution and then have the seeker go Pitbull once it's closer?

I would also like to see more about the Swiss tests which had Gripen 3rd behind Rafale and Eurofighter and performing worse than their existing F-18 fleet. An uninvolved observer would think the Gripen package, even offering local manufacturing to other customers, would have been very attractive to Switzerland and I was surprised at the poor test results for Gripen.

So in the end the F/A-18 wasn't chosen, also the Super Hornet would have been younger as an airframe than the Gripen. In the end what mattered was Stealth and Sensor Fusion and the F-35 was chosen.

@@FirstDagger The F-35 was selected because the rich Swiss flyboys wanted the most expensive airframe. Stealth is absolutely not a necessity for the small range of aerial activities the Swiss engage in as a neutral country. They were initially interested in an interceptor for defense against airspace incursion etc. The F-35 is clearly not that. In any case this change of direction will trigger another referendum which I believe will fail as people see the bait and switch and increased budget. The first vote only passed by a small margin.

Gripen is a nice plane and all but the coolest plane sweden ever built was draken and the coolest looking was lansen. Draken was pure speed insanity. Lansen had the nose that looked like it was stolen from a Disney cartoon.

The number one major advantage the Gripen has is STOL. Canada has needed a STOL fighter since before the F18. The F18 could at least forward operate from Yellowknife or Gander....The F35 can't forward base anywhere in the Arctic and must ferry over 3000 km just to get to Alert base where it can't land...90% of the patrol zone is beyond the range of the F35 without tankers. The Gripen can use the same bases a C130 can...that means you could operate anywhere in the Arctic close to your actual patrol zone. Norway and Finland always have bases withing the range of the F35, we don't and won't anytime soon...

What about the B-58 hustler. It looked great and was fast. But 25% crashed. What was the problem

They came flying from what looked like just 100m over the tree tops before they went straight out over the lake. I remember having my headphones on and it sounded like someone was gonna crash through the wall at any point.

It looks like MIG23 with delta wings and American power plant

Galileo near Milan? Now I understand Chinese "investors" buying up nearby Milan fashion labels, and bringing in "fashion technology experts" to facilitate transfer of "fashion" technology.

Can somebody from a neutral perspective explain how the operating cost for Gripen can be so much lower compared to the competitors, let´s say compared to F16? Do we compare apple with pears? Is there any difference in what is included in the so called operating cost when comparing the jets or is there any standard definition for it? Is maintenance cost included in these number for all reported values?

@carlkolthoff5402

3 жыл бұрын

I'm no expert on the subject, but I believe it's much because it was designed to be low cost. How? By choosing components wisely, like using already available high volume standard components instead of in house development of parts that doesn't really need to be special made. Also by designing from a maintenance standpoint, you can hugely cut down the man hours om the ground and need for specialists when doing regular maintenance. It's also pretty small and light, which probably reduces the fuel cost.

The Gripen is not a stealthy shape so not a 5th generation aircraft. F35 have 360° radar coverage and the use of weapons bays mean less fatigue on weapons carried.

Awesome rundown of the Gripen. It was incredible stupid that our politicians choose the F-35 instead of the Gripen. Because the strategic location of Denmark is the same as Sweden, it would make so much better tactical and cooperation wise to share aircraft with our Swedish brothers. To get full value out of the F-35 is has to be used in a situation as explained with the blue excercise and that will only happen as a support unit in a US compaign. That will not help one bit in the baltic sea, were we do most of our operations. Also the stupid decision to give the maintance for EU F-35 to the same Italien company that has sold us our IC4 unusable trains, is complete madness. They would be parked in Italy forever.
