Many interesting things are going up in this mission: there is still a possible situation in the modern warfare when a tail gunner still have a reason of existence; the other: the Meteor hasn't stolen and reverse engineered yet by other countries (it was possibly, but we doesn't know it yet as open as eg the Chinese remade Flankers or the Phoenix).

The Chinese reverse engineered the Python missile to make the PL-15. It also is in many ways similar to the meteor.

Wingman: let's stay up high as long as possible so the enemy fighters can clearly see and lock me...

4:43 Sweden & Finland are part of the five Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, & Iceland). The three Baltic states are Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (all joined NATO in 2004). Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, & Russia all have coastlines around the Baltic Sea.

I’ve lived in Sweden, and I’m going there on vacation tonight! (I live in Europe, different time-zones) so this is really cool to see!

Much improved over the previous interception missions. Not so much because you won necessarily, but because you got into striking range before the enemy did. Granted, the meteors made it look easy, but this is what they were made for. Still, it would've been proper to hit the cruise missiles that did get lauched, just to further lower the enemy's chances of killing any friendly stuff.

Love the videos keep up the good work

Ah the Tu-95, can make you deaf and packs a punch

I'm always for more Gripen content

Love the curvature on the inclination lines from the Gripen’s HUD. Phenomenal detail.

At the recent Singapore Air Show I had the opportunity to try out the Gripen E simulator at the Saab booth. The cockpit interface is completely touchscreen and the software is really smart. User-friendly with good indicators to help land and navigate.

Sweden paused Gripen E to have SAAB put ASEA radar in the C/D fleet first, not sure if there’s room for the swashplate too. They also throw in more EW and improve engine thrust.

Great mission! Would've been fun to see your Meteors hit those two cruise missiles, and to see the Patriot missiles take out the other ones. Anyway, fantastic video.

Perfectly imperfect it is! Regardless the loss of a wingman. However, I think it should be the most challenging boss fight to do a MiG-29 or Su-27 vs Su-57 Felon, I suggest for the 103rd time GS. You made a great simmer!

4:41 As a European, I hope we will never see the capabilities of the Meteor missile against Russian aircraft. However, it's good to know that at least in the DCS world, we're able to defend ourselves like this. Oh, and on that note, the sacrifice of your wingman will not be forgotten. ;)

lol the sound of his wingman travels at the speed of light while the sound from the sonic boom travels at the speed of sound.

Man as a Canadian I wish the CRAF would of bought Gripens instead of into the disaster that is the F35 program

I was wondering why you only shot 2 Meteors at the bombers. Did you only see 2 on radar?

Loved the video champ and can't wait for the next one.

At that point with the bomber crew going home kinda rude to shoot them down lol

The Gripen is such a cool little package.

any way you could do a campaign with the f16c? thatd be sick. love the videos man

You should do a Tomcat BVR mission with a couple Phoenix's and AIM120 D's so the Phoenix can shove the bandit's face down and if he's still alive the AMRAAM will take car of it.

so my keybinds do not work with this jet. i spawn in. and can barley roll. and it just nose down and thats all i get? any solutions

RIP Gripen Wingman

Is that a JAS? Yass! Third base.

Was there some kind of tactical reason you didnt launch on all 3 bombers in that first salvo?

Am I missing something with the bombers? Every now and then I see them with the nose gear down after they get hit? Is this a glitch or??

F16 SCRAMBLE! We need to see a win!
