Ah, Gripen. But The Netherlands will not buy your plane. Sorry. It is the F-35 JSF for us. We'd rather have a generation 5 fighter instead. Thank you anyway Sweden.
You've got a point. But solitairy air superiority is not what we seek. We are a member of NATO. We just want to do our bit. Air superiority is secured bu our NATO membership. We'd rathet invest our tax money in a plane that is built by all of us instead of ONLY SWEDES. We're in this together. Profit should be of no importance...
A nice and very "un-swedish" video on the success of the Gripen fighter. I believe that 15 years from now, there will be at least twice as many Gripen operators in the world. Hopefully we'll see Gripens in Norwegian and Danish colours!
GRIPEN!!!

Unfortunatly the F-35 is not a air superiority jet. That's what the F-22A is for... Big mistake to buy the F-35 as the only jet for an airforce.

The Swedes can be proud of their Gripen, a inexpensive Gen 4.5 fighter.

Sure we can be proud, but this video was, for me as a Swede, kinda embarrassing. Probably 'cause of Jante... or maybe good taste ;)

Yes hopefully. And sure this is a marketing video but no one forced these people from different countries to speak good of the Gripen program.

Don't forget New Zealand. Their air force just flys Cargo planes.

I sure hope we will, and that they stop flying the old F16´s and take Gripen instead.

Isn't the F-22 the first of the new generation of fighters in service?
