Gripen ar en av Sveriges mest avancerade uppfinningar...rakt igenom bara! Dock, utsatts Sveriges vapenindustri for press av USA som tvingar andra nationer att kopa deras foraldrande teknologi och inte Sveriges "cutting-edge". HEJA SVERIGE!!!!! =)

Kopierat:

Gripen Demo är ett flygande laboratorium, en testplattform för nästa generations Gripen -- det starkare och mer välutrustade plan som i folkmun numera går under namnet Super-Jas.

Motorn är större och starkare, en helt ny radar har utvecklats liksom ett helt nytt kommunikationssystem och nya vapensystem.

Den nya generationens Gripenplan innebär att hela Gripenprojektet - det som kallats för Sveriges största industrisatsning - förlängs bort mot 2040. /site

Thanks :)

a little out dated before she was built. her stealth is very poor. Yet test her vs 4.5 gen planes. vs Dassault Rafale

I gotta give it to sweden, the gripen is an amazing plane :)

@nilu2001 Are you the worst fucktard ever! Can't people spell things wrong theese days? And your daughter must be pregnant after you did your time with her in your basement. Good luck with your fucked up kid! Cunt licking fuckass.

[nilu2001]

@metalpounder: are you retarded? You spell worse than my 5yo daughter.

[langhammars]

@metalpounder Oh yes, the Raptor is the best because it's faster. And it has got "pure fucking advance technology", lol. Does it have x-large size cup holder in cockpit too? Well... I guess you've never heard about MBDA Meteor or IRIS-T? Oh well, you'd probably state they are far inferior to anything the americans could come up with. Anyways, I've never said the Gripen is better than the Raptor. I just wanted you to stop polluting the Internet with your "documentary facts". Cheers.

[metalpounder]

Was that a confession? Only swedish people say that Gripen is the best, i say it is an average jet. Raptor is heavier. But it is faster then Gripen. Pure fucking advance technology, We must thank the Americans because our engine is an american engine, and we got missiles who we bought from the USA. It must hurt to read this. Our Gripen is also an American intervention. If you buy youself a Raptor, you wont be pleased. Nope, but it sounds from you that the Gripen is the best.

[langhammars]

@metalpounder We're back to where you make me laugh again. Ok, the Raptor is the shit, it's awesome and it's far more superior than anything else on this planet. It's a kick ass plane and it will kill off anything, even if it's outnumbered 10 to 1. It's true! It has stealth which will make it invulnerable in any engagement, BVR or WvR. It has superior technology and it is heavy = better than anything. Damn, I think I need to get one for myself! Did I say all other fighters are really bad? mmkay?

[metalpounder]

Show me some good facts so you all can backup Gripen.

[metalpounder]

Ahah, so when is see documentaries about Gripen and they say its a superior jet, that means that they are lying? Only Swedish people think that Gripen is the best. But when we come to Raptor-22. People all over the world knows that Raptor is the best. Gripen doesn't have stealth, it dont have the advanced technology that the Raptor have. Gripen is a failure, evrey one chooses American planes. Why? Beacuse they have been doing the best fighter plane for like 50 years.
