Europe has some great fighter aircraft. Gripen, Rafale, Eurofighter, etc. I would buy them over being dependent on the U.S.
[I live in the US.]😊
Best.
That is one cool looking jet! It’s nice to see something so unique.
Canada needs to get on on this as soon as possible!
Slap on a Red Maple Leaf and you have the new CFU-47.
LXXXVI
XLVII.
they should also focus on the domestic engine
We need more Gripens. When i get millions in the lotto-ticket that will surely hit soon, i will pay for a bunch for the Baltics
The F version with an extra pilot is a great leap forward and this F version was driven by Brazil, countries working together to improve the plane is unique, when one pilot is focused on flying the plane the other will control and manage the AI drones that will be flying next to them. The F version will be an advanced AI drone hub that is decades ahead of other planes in this ability.
You are too late about India, already about Rafel.
Now its a 4th gen 40 year old jet, with 2 seats.
The rest of the EU should dump the f35's and go for gripens, mirages etc. Cheaper and possibly even better…. and Not an american dependancy
I look forward to the day the F will be purchased by Canada for training and conversion of CF-18 crews to the Gripen E.
Gorgeous! Great video again, thank you 👍
🇸🇪😘🇧🇷
Nice, but this all looks very 1980s. 🤔
Beautiful jet. Curious thing is Sweden decided to keep training on the older Gripen Ds and has therefore no orders in for the F-version. Although they did open for a future order of Gripen Fs. Curious nevertheless.
Also it was announced as Brazils defence minister Jose Mucio visited Stockholm yesterday that Brazil will order 20 additional Gripens on top of what is already purchased. I have not yet seen this in foreign medias but Swedish ones were quick to report it yesterday. This would increase their number to 56 in total.
The beginning of their presentation looked like a gaming presentation. I loved it. 😊
Love the Gripen series.
As a Thai I love the Gripen we have. For our lackluster budget it's not just cheaper to buy but also wayyyy cheaper to maintain than F-16. And lot of things can be done by conscript too.
The budget to buy 12 Gripen and keep them operational for 10 years is a lot less than 10 F-16. And you can't even keep 12 F-35 running for more than a year with that budget. Let alone buying them to begin with.
Looking forward to seeing the first Canadian rollout.
The UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. I hope they can make a joint aircraft and produce it in 6 different locations or even Canada. So 7 places.
Just a dream.
Airbus is the world leader in civilian manufacturing.
Why not here?
EU (R&D) funding?
a) F-6xA: The classic (CTOL)
b) F-6xB: The vertical (STOVL)
c) F-6xC: The carrier version (CV)
That way, each country could customize it according to their needs (for national pride).
Just an idea…
0:21 Gripen NG series is what would have been appropriate to say here. Also I never realized that there was no Gripen F previously.
this is a good choice Brazil don't have to buy expensive F-35 from USA they can choose Gripen F and Gripen E from Sweden 🇸🇪🤝🇧🇷
I mean how badass aint it? Hope you were there 😼
