I'm really not the patriotic type but whenever I see Swedish fighter jets (even simulated) I actually tense up a bit (that second hypersonic missile) and feel a sense of pride when the Gripen gives a good showing. We are a country of 10M people with a rich history in the fighter jet space and it's just cool that we are still relevant in this day and age. Having had backstage access to most of the Swedish airforce fleet in my youth has also made me connect more personally with its performance.

@@shades2.183 I'm very aware that it's not solely Swedish of course. But as with other brands it has a very Swedish profile. Considering the time the original Gripen was ordered and developed I'm not surprised some dodgy stuff went on. But I mean the engine is American, the armament is Nato standard. It's very much not solely Swedish and we have had considerable help in development. Still, Saab Aerospace is the contractor and with that comes at least some national pride for me personally. I also had family members in the Swedish airforce back when they were flying SK60.
