Saab Gripen - Controlling The Machine

[@Lyle-In-NO]

15 yrs later, just a fan from many miles away, dropping by to say keep up the good work. Beautiful aircraft.

[@emersonrosso]

Brazil, is approximately 20 years looking for a new aircraft rather than 10 years the majority of the media are touting. Strengthening the policy in this case was a strong competitor, and you guys (Swedes) knew very well put their pieces on the board and eventually took a checkmate in North American and French. My congratulation for ausadia and for giving an opportunity of hope and insentivo this super machine for our manufacturing as a whole in BRAZIL.

[@simonvance8054]

Awesome plane...and one of the coolest looking fighters around..

[@LNZT]

Simon Vance mhm, and all thx to our amazing designers!

[@MAarshall]

Very sexy plane indeed :)

[@franktony1981]

Very happy that Brazil chose the Grippen ! Welcome to Brazil !

[@rafaelrp07]

Brazil choose Gripen NG to head our air defense! Thank you SAAB. We hope that we can produce and improve technology together. And after 2016, we hope you can use our KC-390 in your air force too!

[@convencerode]

+rafaelrp07 Not Bad Sweden Buy is Good Plus They Respect Kurds Money Invested Good Brazil Should No Regret Works For Both Countries And I Seen The KC-390 Congrats Bro's

[@rafaelrp07]

+Gareth Whittaker It is because president and Defense minister should sign the contract. But the FX program (the name we give to choose our new airplane) started with Fernando Henique Cardoso government (1994-2002) and was made new rules and requirements when Lula became president in 2003 (the FX-2 program). Lula and Worker's Party (wich is in power until today) had preference for Rafale (Gripen is going to substitute Dassault airplanes here) because of political interests between Lula and Sarkosy at that time. Ex-president Lula once came to public and the media and said that Brasil would sign the contract with France, wich cause a huge disappointment with military leaders that were producing report (and other bureaucracy things) for the normal process in FX-2 program. Even the Defense Minister, filiated to Worker's Party and indicated by Lula to the office take place against him. So Lula steped back and the military opinion took more space in this debate. The main reason we choose Gripen is because the Military report was incredible well wrote and gave many arguments in favor of SAAB. The main reason we choose Gripen is "technology transfer" clause to Brazil industries and joint venture between SAAB and Embraer proposed in the negotiations. France would not let Brazil had acess 100% of Rafale and gadgets used in warplane. Brazil will not have acess to the codes of bombs and weapons. The key for us is to have knowledge that could let us produce our own airplane in 20-30 years.

[@rafaelrp07]

+Gareth Whittaker No, US had the policy of almost 0% of joint venture and tech transfer. And they had one of the most expensive cost of a warplane that was already in its mid-life. Actually US was excluded from FX-2 earlier (I think 2 years before final decision) when the terms of tech acess by Brazil became mandatoy. Whe NSA scandal became known this decision had already been made. Only Russia made a negotiation capable to compete with SAAB some months before the dead end. But the costs were higher and PAK-FA project was kind of uncertain for us for how much of our budget will be needed to be put on it since a 5th gen fighter is a big deal and always surpass the initial costs.

[@desierro]

Gripen is arguably the most underrated multi-role aircraft in the world. This is the aircraft industry's own little Kalashnikov. Cheap, fast, easy to use, and on top of this, it is one of the best looking airplanes so far. I rather take 2 JAS-jets then 1 Eurofighter. Edit: Eurofighter reloads on minimum 20 min and makes a engine change within... wait for it... 6 hours! ^^pawned

[@christiaanroets5483]

A great fighter from a VERY GREAT country !!! Grippen for Greece NOW .

[@davids1inwestholl45]

It's AMAZING to see a Saab Gripen w/ almost 20 yr old tech, and it still can handle almost anything the invaders from the East could throw at you! You truly are ahead of your time. I've really gotten to know much about Sweden's Gripen and Saab, I've really come to admire them. Saab ROCKS! I'm thrilled to see the Swedish military and your full suite of ordnance, aircraft and Navy joining NATO! You and the Finns are long over-due and most welcome. The combined synergy you will add to the EU's and NATO's defense from the top of Norway, down to Sicily will be formidable!! Välkommen! Välkommen! Skål! Cheers! Salute! I have to tell you the legend of Swedish submarines are World FAMOUS! You ran circles around the US Aircraft Carrier Group with all our air assets, surface ships and the US Navy fleet of subs had nil victories, and the Swedes had a shut-out! The US Military was scoreless. We cannot be more impressed with Sweden, which is why the US LEASED the Swedish subs AND their crews and hired them to teach the US how to prepare for finding and fighting the quietest subs of today and tomorrow. I heard your crews were treated like Rock Stars! You really put the DoD and the fleet brass back on their heels and back in their places! This is my favorite story of Swedish military might! Well done! Well done!

[@dattebayo10]

Wish to have this for the Philippines

[@DeltaAnt1000]

This is what Canada could use in our north

[@sweden_ove2074]

Ohh, A lot has happened since then. This is the Gripen C/D - Not the Gripen E/F (NG). Its still nice though....

[@efxnews4776]

The WAD display that Gripen have today is a full screen made by AEL Sistemas in Porto Alegre, so basicaly you can spot the difference quite easily when you know what to look.

[@Pincer88]

With the current generations of AD/A2 GBADS that can engage over hundreds of kilometers, I think Gripen - like any other fighter, including F-35 - needs a dedicated SEAD function in my opinion. So far, only the the Boeing EA-18G Growler has a truely dedicated system for that function, yet seems to lack the capability to truely supress systems like S-300 and S-400 from stand off ranges. This is al the more pressing, since an S-300/400 battery can fire missiles well outside their own territory when stationed near a border, disabling or at least disturbing a nation's capability to defend its own airspace. Something I would consider, when I wanted to sell Gripen NG's to Finland for example. I wonder if Saab is developing a (sub)system, that will enable Gripen NG to deal with potential threats like that. Maybe a combination of an RF emitter localisation & classification device, a digital and adaptive stand off jammer and an ARGM-variant of the Meteor missile and/or Storm Shadow/Scalp/Taurus might prove the way forward. I'm not sure wether that is feasible, but if wiring allows it, maybe a podded system might produce a EAS-39F Gripen that could function like a smaller version of a Growler? I would applaude such a development, which would make Gripen all the more versatile and thus attractive for nations with a tight defense budget.

No Abba music ? (The winner takes it all.. ?) Quote: Gripen is arguably the most underrated multi-role aircraft in the world. This is the aircraft industry's own little Kalashnikov. Cheap, fast, easy to use, and on top of this, it is one of the best looking airplanes so far. I rather take 2 JAS-jets then 1 Eurofighter. 1) define "cheap": I think you mean "cheaper" 2) Will it be able to carry the planned follow up for the B 61 nuclear bomb (I understand that the Gripen is marketed as a fighter, attack and recce plane, not really as a fighter-bomber ? (can carry two clusterbombs, but not sure these are still seen as politically correct in Belgium) 3) OK, "she's got the looks", but it is not a beauty contest, is it ? There's really too much money involved. As Belgium seems to be thinking about close cooperation with the Dutch AF, since the latter has chosen the JSF and since I suspect the USA to design the follow up of the B 61 in such a way it will only be "carry-able" by the JSF, my money is on the F 35. (The US was "not amused" when Belgium bought a european successor for the C 130, which was translated into nasty bitching whenever Belgium needs spareparts for their C 130 still in service. Wonder if "brave little Belgium" can say twice "no" to our friends from across the big pond) Well, I admit, the F 35 looks like an odd duck, or a Turkey: quite plump and with short wings. I'm also betting that the maintenance of the F 35 will be sold as being far less expensive as the reality will prove it to be. So, after some cheers about reducing costs because of better integration with the Dutch AF, after some slap on the back of the Americans because of our 'wise" "choice", I'm predicting lots of "unforeseen" extra maintenance costs.

[@SINESTERSERPENTSIXXX]

cheap???? what is your idea of cheap?The JAS 39E will be able to engage stealth targets with a fused, multispectral sensor suite (see article below), according to program officials. It will be able to cruise at Mach 1.25 without using afterburner, and will enter service in 2018 with a full suite of weapons including the MBDA Meteor ramjet-powered air-to-air missile (which enters service next year on the JAS 39C/D). The Swedish air force's fixed-price contract for 60 complete aircraft, converted from JAS 39Cs but with new engine, avionics and primary structure, equates to a flyaway price of $43 million.

[@SINESTERSERPENTSIXXX]

2.58 billion for 60 complete aircraft.

A FUCKING GOOD PLANE...! A Grippen, it's really a fucking good airplane. And it can fuck a F-22,because it's better A grippen can land in any small places to land, even a road ; don't need a large & prepared places like the fucking F-22. A grippen could be rearmed & refueled for only 5 personnes; and not specialist . So, this is more important...! That's why; is a fucking GOOD plane...!

You think this competes with Sukhoi and Lockheed Martin? Lmao

[@lonewolfaniket188]

You compare gripen with sukhoi flankers good night then maybe flankers have pesa radar but still they are overkill for gripen

[@yamahass66]

So the time to change engines one any Sukhoi is?

You can change both engines of a Mig29 in 30 minutes. The Mig35 with vector trust obviously takes a bit longer but not much. Same with every newer SU

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

Would it be possible to change the cannon to a 20mm like that of the F16 /F18?

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

@@nikoIai from a logistical point of view it would make sense to have the new aircraft have the same cannon like the one it is replacing, all so the M61A1 Vulcan has a higher rate of fire & ammunition capacity than the Mauser 27mm.

[@marioshadjikyriacou3381]

Everything is possible, but there is a bill to par at the end.

[@RogerJL]

Rate of fire is everything... But bigger ammunition gives more effect when hitting. Gripen might have auto aim for cannon (aimbot) Yes, it does! Slaved from radar.

[@rogeriofersan1]

Good business from Brasil

[@ArunChhikara]

Really sad that we Indians chose the Rafale over Gripen, Rafale fuckin costs a fortune

[@RR-us2kp]

Rafale depends on simply overpowering the opponent instead of strategic warfare (outsmart the opponent) like the gripen. Jets like rafale get obsolete pretty soon

unfortunately, the reality on the ground is that most NATO nations would still bow to pressure from the US. and the US government has been known to exert pressure on behalf of the military-industrial complex. not saying it's right or wrong, but when it comes to jobs in sweden vs jobs in the US, that's how it works.

Like i just said, money isnt tghe issue. When money isnt an issue id much rather have the best than the cheapest.

[@tiptopwoman]

It order for Gripen to be a Kalashnikov, it must be cheap to build, be able to take off and land from/on dirt, able to sustain high amount of abuse, and simple to fix. That role belongs to Mig-29/35.

[@HypnosisASMR]

[@Lovi07]

1:25 so it basically has an air-to-air and an air-to-ground mode button like the f-16 has since the 1980s? wow what amazing technology...

[@Apprimeable]

Stealth sabotages the entire aircraft. The F-35 has the same payload as the gripen, with less range and less top speed. At twice the size. Because it has internal bays that slows it down and prevents fuel tanks and additional weapons. On top of that it costs twice as much and takes so much effort in maintenance because of the stealth coatings. Gripen is most likely also as good or better when it comes to networking and sensor fusion. F-35 is expensive because of stealth, not because it is great.

[@nitrospec]

A serious competitor for F16.

I'm x- military pilot of USSR i give to Gripen big plus in among US , Russians , France , Germany fighting juts . Specially that you can serve it in very short time and get the plane in the air 5 time faster then US Fs. I don't know if this plane can be as a fifth generation jet but indeed has very good electronic communicators infrastructure. My question for SAAB is is it really suitable price in money value and second i feel that Sukoi Russians helped to integrate eng. as long as i know Gripen got hard time with it for long .

[@Alma_Luthieria]

Sorry Josef, but I´m feeling difficulties in understand what you says. You have Great "Birds" like SU-27/30/35, MIG-31/35... (My favorite Aircraft is a MIG-21 Fishbad!!! a fighter in which the pilot needed a lot of courage to enter in his cockpit...) But the Gripen NG is "Swing-Role", his can make missions where they would be some Fighters of differents Types, imagine a Doppler and Datalink of MIG-31, with a maneuverability Of a SU-27 or MIG-29, STOL capacities like a SU-33S and Power and "Supercruise" like a MIG-25 in a single plane??? You know the EUROFIGHTER, RAFALE, GRIPEN NG, etc... are "Swing-Role"... Is Better but, in my opinion ends the romanticism just be fighter pilot... I whem was young enter in FAB (Brasilian Air Force), my dream was a MIRAGE III, I was study so much the cockpit, systens, controls, etc... Of MIRAGE IIIE but, I´m musiciam today and after FAB, I studied Business at university. Today I´ll not try again, cause be a Fighter pilot is easy today, the machine, the systens make all, and you are only a "computer operator", had to be same pilot for enter in a Mirage 3...

I think it is crucial to keep more analog planes like the A10 flying. These planes are almost worthless if the electronics get fried

[@ITmage]

A10 is not purely analog either. There are many digital components in its cockpit and avionics in general.

[@AlexKall]

To have no electronics you have to go back to 1940ies.

[@RR-us2kp]

Do you actually think not depending on electronics is possible? Do you think an analogue ww2 army can fight a modern military if they have some electronic warfare equipment? Nope. They would lose in less than a day

[@SunriseLAW]

Once all factors are considered: USA aircraft are ideal for invading a nation. On the balance, Gripen is the most awesome DEFENSIVE aircraft on the planet. Gripen's deployment time and turnaround time between missions has no equal I am aware of. The wings are designed so the aircraft can fit in a truck and is ready to fly quickly. And at $30 million per copy they can be used for a business jet :)

[@technical010]

[@SgfGustafsson]

I assume you are referring to Saab marketing propaganda about their non existent NG plane. Look at the deal the Swiss haven't quite signed yet. 107 Mil per airframe for the NG. MORE expensive than full rate production F-35s.

same concept as the northrop grumman F-20 tigershark low cost but effective fighter aircraft. i still like that old plane even the project has been trash due to no one want it in the 80's because they want those F-14 to F-18 fighters not knowing that the value of the dollar would rise up in the 21st century and make it impossible for the 3rd world nations to operate the aircraft. even the US is struggling with their defense spending on keeping the aircraft flyable.

"Better" is not an absolute in this case. For Sweden, the Gripen is better. It's also better for a lot of other countries. I'm sure if a dozen of each faced each other there would be losses on both sides. Can the Russian planes operate from roadside supply stations? Will it be any more able to dodge an Iris-t than the Gripen to dodge an R-73? For what they need it for, it's the better plane.
