Gripen E - The Game Changer

Together we are strong. To develop a fighter aircraft to counter and defeat future threats, cooperation between several operations is needed. In this film, you can learn more about what makes Gripen E unique and a perfect fighter aircraft for Sweden.
We hear from the Chief of the Swedish Air Force and Saab colleagues as they describe the Gripen E's capabilities.

[@kevlar7669]

Wtf is unhealthy competition?

[@AnonyMous-ql9nj]

@@kevlar7669 The US is extremely keen on having its allies buy from it, this means implications such as economical and political effects on the countries who do not. The Euro fighter aswell as Russian and chinese counter parts also use this same strategy to some degrees because if a country doesnt buy tech from its allies and "friends" it means bad business which once again can have economic and political effects. This means that it doesnt matter which fighter is better or worse, economic and political implications has a bigger impact on the decision and the actual pros and cons of the plane will likely not matter, the country buys from its allies as to not do bad business and suffer those bad effects. TLDR: For example, Poland will be much more likely buy a F-35 or eurofighter as to show solidarity and loyalty with EU or NATO rather than buy a SAAB Gripen or a Russian/Chinese counterpart. Not because it is necessarily better or worse, but because it needs the connections with the US and EU and is possibly able to suffer political and economical consequences if it does not. Even more TLDR: The big countries like: USA, Russia, UK/France/Germany and China etc are greedy to show their influence and power, but its obviously no surprise lmao.

The senior officers in the RCAF always want whatever shiniest thing the Americans have, even if it is the wrong choice for Canada. So when they wrote the evaluation criteria they made sure it looked fair at a high level, but somewhere down deep in the details it was skewed to favour the F-35.

I was following Gripen as the dark horse in Canada's fighter competition. I think the F35 is the correct choice in a single fighter fleet for Canada, especially considering out traditional ties with the U.S.A. and NORAD Intercompatibility. That being said the short runway/arctic capabilities with the easy mechanical servicing of the Gripen E compatible with Canada's mission requirements.

[@FLAC2023]

Just 2 few F-35s would destroy 7-14 Gripens in no time.... It's not even a contest...

Single fighter fleet is very risky for various reasons. But yes, F35 is the ultimate polivalent fighter, though at a high price tag. In the case of Spain for example who is looking for a replacement for their ageing F-18s I think the Gripen is more suitable than the F-35, as a bridge, while the next 6th gen european fighter is being developed, which could take easily 2 decades more.

Canada should have a hundred of these badass planes as its main air defence fighters… END OF STORY!

[@Hollycalvey]

But the F-35 is cheaper and better lol. There’s a reason not a single gripen has been sold in 8 years

[@brentstarkes9682]

@@Hollycalvey really how about all the ones Argentina has already acquired?

[@Hollycalvey]

@@brentstarkes9682 Argentina don’t use gripens lmfao what are you talking about

[@MegaEssin]

@@Hollycalvey Brazil is planning to purchase 30 additional Gripen E. The unit cost is said to be 60 million $, there is no official cost for the Gripen E available at the moment though it is said to be 85 million per unit. Though they have the capability to manufacture the gripens in brazil now which probably lowered the expected purchase price. The Finnish contract for 64 F-35A was 83 million per unit and for Switzerland 112 million per unit for 36 F-35A. And 4000 - 8000 $ per flighthour vs 33 000 - 45000 $ per flighthour. And about 200 to 400 flighthours per year for each jet is 800k to 1.6 mil $ for the Gripen and 6.6 mil $ to 18.99 mil $ for the F-35. 10 years of operating each aircraft. Gripen 8 - 16 million $ F-35 66 - 189,9 million $. The Gripen is Gen 4,5 and the F-35 is Gen 5. They dont have the same capabilities, so of course the F-35 is more futureproof. But not every airforce can replace all their old jets with F-35s, and thats where the Gripen comes in. Its still a very capable jet.

[@Hollycalvey]

@@MegaEssin oh it’s definitely very capable but for a developed nation that is close to/within NATO there is little point in adopting gripens right now, fair enough for Brazil but it’s not wrong to say the aircraft has been an unfortunate flop

[@prasanth8523]

my suggestion for Indian government to purchase advance multi role fighter jets
