The F35 sucks because of the cost, maintenance cost and the time it has to spend on the ground for each mission, looots of time...:). Besides, it is a lousy dogfighter because of its wingloading. And the so called "stealth"...it works...maybe...sometimes. The Eurofighter is way too expensive and has a pretty bad "Meantime between Failiure". It seems to be bound to the ground quite often when needed. The Rafale is also very expensive and is intended to use french weapons only. Gripen dominates in all areas....by the way...it is cheaper and cheaper to operate. Did I mention that it is NATO-compatible and can operate from roadbases.....even in arctic conditions ? A proven fact...Gripen-pilots...be gentle when you practice against Norways F35:s ...don't embarrass them too much...

In heavily woodland countries a Gripens would be a great choice, I've seen vids of them landing on hiway during training vids, A-10's Gripens, f-16's the similiar Ilk are great choices.

[@mrSkandalpolisen]

Landing on short bases is probably the least useful feature of the Gripen (any version) for the average air force in the world since very few has adapted the Swedish and Finish 'protection by dispersal' tactics. Still, it's a very valid tactics for my Sweden and my neighbour Finland and probably for a lot more countries close to or already harrassed by far larger military powers like (mostly powers like China and Russia). What most aerotech youtubers does not bring up to light is that Sweden is probably the no 1 in the world when it comes to electronic warfare. Gripen E is fully loaded with this electronic warfare. Being small is not always a drawback, sometimes it's the whole concept of it is being able to hide from enemy radars is the key to win or lose the fight.

[@valko022]

And Hornets and Super Hornets, but F 35 and others, like the Typhoon and even more the Rafale can do the same, as the Gripen can

[@josephnewburgh8531]

Yes the Gripens comes well equipped

[@mrSkandalpolisen]

@@valko022 The Typhoon and Rafale can do more or less what the Gripen C but they lack the advanced data link (that has been proven very effective in modern combat). So Gripen C has been able to keep up with the Typhoon and Rafale allthough it lacks the engine power of the two larger fighters. The F35 is stealthy and has a huge advantage from that. The F35 is also very good at data link, on par with Gripen C in fact. The F35 has some really bad disadvantages, it's slow, it has slower turn rates, it needs far more maintennance, long tur around time in some cases over 2 hours. Compare the turn around time with Gripen, 10 minutes for most operations and 20 minutes for sea target operations. The F35 is better than the Gripen E in only one aspect, the stealth. With the Gripen E entering the arena, we will have a new bench mark for gen4+ fighter jets. Gripen E will outperform Typhoon and Rafale in most operations. The only drawback for the Gripen E is that she does not have the payload capacity for heavy bombardmemt far into enemy territory, She can do it, no doubdt, but she's not very efficient in this matter.

[@jorgenpersson662]

@@valko022 No they can't...and absolutly not for that low flying cost for Gripen E. F35 would be a disaster for Finland with too long landing strips and a very low mission rate. Finland need to buy the much more expensive VTOL F35 or try to get hold of and improve the shute solution on Norwegian F35. Superhornet doesn't even has an integrated IRST...Rafale can't carry finnish JASSM missiles. Gripen E is by far the best choice for Finland.

Clearly the F35 is only suitable for bases far from enemy territory -like the US mainland and on aircraft carriers that can move out of dangerous zones, possibly on some islands such as Taiwan albeit that is questionable when so close to enemy territory. However countries like Sweden and Finland (and most European countries in the vicinity of Russia have a quite different situation. It is simply a too realistic scenario that all permanent landing strips will be taken out even before the start of the conflict. Even if one or two bases remain operational some time into the conflict half the country or more will be without active aircraft on a very early stage if the ability to land on improvised strips is not there. Add to that the flexibility that improvised air strips gives in terms of moving the home base of the aircraft so that they can always be close enough to the front lines to maximize their active time there but still keep them at a safe distance for the turn around. The shorter turn-around and the ability to use improvised strips might mean that a JAS Gripen is in the air twice as much as an F35 and in fact you should compare one F35 to two JAS Gripen. For the price of one JAS.

@@jorgenpersson662 : Instantaneous turning performance is 90% wing loading. 5% aerodynamics and almost 0 % engines. Since wing area is identical, there is absolutely no way that E is better at instantaneous turning than C. Marginal, but still a difference.

[@valko022]

F 35 is probably the best, but will it be the best choice for Finland!?? Yes, it is the only Fifth Gen, so it is the Best Survivable Jet, if!, if flying alone. How Survivable, you or any one might ask !?? Well, because it is Stealth, not 100 % radar invisible, but almost or very very invisible, and because it has the best Thrust in class, If!, if talking about the Cinematic Performance Etc, that Fully Loaded Internally, huom.! = notice!, Internally Weapons and Fuel Load! Yeah Right, you might say and ask Really!?!? Yes! It can still fly Its' Max Speed Mach 1.6 or 1.6 + when Internally Loaded Max Weapons and Fuel! But! But!?? It has had and still has problems, but question is, how many and how pick problems!?!? Like can it fly max speed longer enough, like over half of minute and no longer about half of minute, like 2 minutes or longer, because it has had Paint and other Stealth Materials in Its' Skin being damaged if flying Too Long in Super Sonic, that flying too long with Its' After Burner On! So! So is that still a Huge Problem for the F 35 A, if not the other F 35 Versions (but the F 35 A is the main issue here, the AirForce Version, which is for the Finnish Competition Too!), so is that Huge Problem already solved or not !?!? I hope it is, but not sure about it! Also there is this political Question or Questions, that will It be politically right Jet for Finland or not!?!? I mean, I hope, that If Finland will pick the F 35 A for Its' Next Jet Fighter, does this mean, that Finland is have to join into the NATO or not, or be forced to do jointly together Co - Operation / -s with the USA and NATO Allies or not !?? What about Choosing the Super Hornet / Growler Compilation, what kind of Political Issues that might cause ?? But, which Jet Should Finland Chosen For !?!? Either European Maker, The Gripen E or the Typhoon or the Rafale and saying more or less good bye to the USA ?? Maybe Finland should do that, I think !?? Or should Finland just pick up either the Super Hornet w/ Growler Or the Best of the Best, the F 35 !?? What You Think !?? Russia probably doesn't want, Finland to choose the Super Hornet w/ Growler and Even Less!, Even Less The F 35! Which will be (if not being Cancelled For Good, I Hope Not!)! The F 35 is Either Cheapest or Second Cheapest To Buy and Maintain, even right now! That at least right now the F 35 might be the Cheapest to buy or the second cheapest and in / on the 2025, it will cost even less to buy 1! and the Operating Costs, as the Maintain Costs will get lot lower to 2025! The Gripen E Operating Costs might be right now, more, than a Super Hornet and the F 35 and the Typhoon! But It will get lot lower, because being too new, it has not built enough = as many to be under or little bit / some over 7 000 US' Dollars / Euros, so right now it is 26 000 US' Dollars, or not !?? ; / But God Bless Everyone so so much! (1 Almighty) God, like His' Own and Only Begotten and also Almighty God and Son Etc.!, Jesus Christ / Messiah (Of Nazareth) = Yahushua / Yehushua ha Mashiach Loves We All So and Want To SAVE, Save WE ALL, We All From The Hell! Because He is The World's Only SAVIOR, Savior And The ONLY WAY, The Only Way BACK TO FATHER, Back To Father = HEAVEN, Heaven! But Hurry Up! Because He Jesus Christ is Coming Very Very Soon Back! And Then Will Be All Too Late To REPENT, Repent AND BELIEVE, And Believe THE GOSPEL, The Gospel! : )

Something about this aircraft just doesnt tickle me like the others do. I think its the one engine. Make me a super Gripen with two engines and we can talk. Fuel dump was a neat trick though.

[@kumlacharlie9076]

There is no point with two engines, it makes everything more clumpsy and expensive - eg worse performance. its a bit like an old American big block "super" Chevy from the 50-70´s, it doesnt make any sense anymore. Within 30 years the Ruskyis will have discovered this too, they are always at least 30 years behind in everything/evolution.

[@TheMack]

@@kumlacharlie9076 I've heard a couple of pilots saying than an advantage of two engine aircraft is that if one dies, they still have one engine left to hopefully get back to base with.

[@kumlacharlie9076]

@@TheMack Yes, they use to say that in the old days. A two engine plane with one engine is a bird with a broken wing. I´ve heard them say. -"These days engines do not fail and one engine is one potential problem, two engines is two potential problems." Nevertheless, a fighter plane is a very complicated thing with a lot of things to consider when you decide what you want and actually need. Regarding Gripen, it´s a system. One very important essential "USP", within the complete package, is that conscript soldiers, in the middle of the north pole, or in the Sahara desert (provided there´s some kind of road strip available), should be able to replace the entire engine within less than one hour. -Hence you do not need any base to get back to, which is a nice thing if all the bases have been bombed by crazy Ivan and his evil missiles.
