Saab JAS-39 Gripen • A Pretty Cool Plane 

Swedish weapons are always so sexy, AK-5, S-tank, JA-37, JAS-39. They are all far beyond the front of their current time, impressively. After all they were always ready for fighting the monstrous Soviet Russian at any time in that period. Tough guys and blonde girls, long live Sweden.

Got to give it to the Swedes-they make some pretty cool high tech stuff for a country with a population of around 10 million-they make stuff of high quality only bigger countries would produce. They have a lot of educated and professional people

She's a beaut....Gripen, Viggen, Drakren. All beautiful planes made perfect for the Swedes,

Perfect for domestic air defence/ patrols. A bit lightweight on range and payload but those aren't the most important things for civilised non bullying countries. Top notch on electronic warfare.

F21 cost 50 000 $ to get up in the air and down. JAS 39 GRIPEN cost 5000$ to get up in the air and down.

that is one beautiful plane.

Its the ultimate fighter, tailor made in that role for 2000+ just like the spitfire was in 1940

I don't care if it is not stealth or 5th gen fighter This is one good looking stylish plane

We Thai are so lucky to go with a fleet of Gripen instead of a few controversial F35

I so hope Finland strikes up a deal and buys these from our brothers!

*sniff* This is why I love my country :,)

Everybody say it with me... Gripens are good. See, that wasn't so bad.

It's a yugoslav national army (JNA , VT Institute Belgrade , Yugoslavia) last project . The project was called "NA - NOVI AVION" or YU SUPERSONIC. Prototype made in 4 version and tested 1989 -1990 used engines imported from France and electronics from Sweden. Everything else was done by yugoslavian team. Then came Tuđman -Milošević & CO.

The new fighter of Brazil

Such a sexy machine. So glad Bulgaria choose the griffin over the falcon.

Lindo o Gripen, não vejo a hora de vê-lo no Brasil.

@Spencer Giesea - I don't know if NATO has actually purchased any Gripens but you may want to look at these links: theaviationist.com/2013/12/02/sweden-nrf/ www.saabgroup.com/en/Air/Gripen-Fighter-System/Gripen-for-the-Czech-Republic/Updates-from-the-Program-Director/Gripen---a-member-of-NATO/

Ja Sveriges stolthet! Gripen E är lite större med mer uppgraderingar och ser mycket bättre ut. Gripen ser fräckare än Eurofighter och F-16 och F-18. Ljudet e bättre med. Och varför skriver jag på svenska för? Jo för inga behöver förstå mina irrelevanta åsikter.

My favorite air fighters!

The problem when people say gripen sucks is that they don't count money or purpose into the equation. If your goal is to fly very long distance to just drop some bomb then gripen is not the plane for the job. But gripen is a much cheaper and smaller (harder to hit) plane and is good against other planes and giving airsupport. Gripen have also the worlds best sensors system which allows them to look on missile against planes in high speed (extremely high) and send radar information to each other so everyone sees what one plane sees. If you count 3-4 gripen against one f35 then I'm pretty damn sure that the gripen plane will win BUT because these two plane or planes of that high technology have never fought against eachother in a real match to the death its hard (or impossible) to say how a match with 1 gripen vs 1 F35 or 2 gripen vs1 F35 or 1 gripen vs 25 F35 will end. Its all speculations!

Stunning aircraft, looks very similar to the Eurofighter Typhoon, not surprising as BAE systems jointly developed both this and the Typhoon. Huge respect from you neighbours across the strait in the UK :)

👑 [ JAS - 39 . GRIPEN ] 💘

this is the plane for Canada. (arctic short runways )

its coolest its my favorite

I miss my Saab 900 ...=(

Tha's Badass!!!

I'm building one in my garage, I just cannot find tires for it.

Damn it bugs me the danish airforce didn't order a bunch of these instead of four fifths of one f-35.

завораживает полет

Man, this fighter is so damn sexy, i wonder why my country reject Gripen and prefer shitty F-5E Tiger.

Information on the Saab BOL - Counter Measure Deployment System: www.americanmilitaryforum.com/forums/threads/saab-bol-counter-measure-dispenser.162/#post-396 This system is used by the Grippen.

The j-39 is more than half the weight of the f+35,plus that in a scuandron of 6,only one needs to have it´s radar activated,thus rendering it invisible to radar.The concept of radar invisibility is afolly,once your radar is active,you are visible.Andmademainly of carbon fibre it is truly "invisible" and deadly compared to the pompus F-35.

A few months earlier, the experts conducted a computer simulation in which it was determined that the Swedish aircraft Saab JAS 39 was not able to withstand the American fighter F-22 (the probability of the Swedish fighter's victory in the battle was about 18% - ed.), and the Russian fighter Su-30SM has an equal chance of winning over the American F-22.

why does the plane starts 5 times

มันเป็นเครื่องบิน 1 เครื่องยนต์เครื่องยนต์เล็กเพียงแบบเดียวที่มีภารกิจชัดเจนมันมีรุ่น 1 ที่นั่งมันได้รับการวิเคราะห์ใช้เหตุผลถึงหลักการลบนอกแบบกองโจร ยางเข้าใจถี่ถ้วนแล้วถึงได้สร้างออกแบบเครื่องบินรุ่นนี้ขึ้นมา

Its ya boi Anomaly from Sweden

The Gripen will fly 8:s round other planes thy said. Still waiting to see, I will.

This stuff is still flying? ))))

What really grinds my gears... ;) Why are all english speaking people calling it Grippen?! It's Gripen. It means Gryphon :P

they look great ,but are they any good in comparison with the other NATO similar planes like f16 , f18 , f15 , Mirage Rafale , Eurofighters or even against the migs or sukhoi of the Russians ?

What is IAF & Govt of India waiting for? They should start & fast track the process to 'Make-In-India' Gripen NG! This is the best 'value-for-money' advanced fighter jet IAF can ever get!

Paint it white and give it dark blue stripes, and you’ll have an Indigo Squadron Gripen C from Ace Combat Zero.

2 ez for jas gripen

was getting caught a part of your plan ?........( swedish BANE !!! ).....YESSSS !!!!

สุดยอดเลยกริฟเพน

Красивая машина!

Still not match for USA f15 super eagle f18 super hornet or f22 raptor or f35, also the French dassault rafale is superior,same goes for aurofighter Typhon, also su27 and mig 31 , still nice plane remains me of the dassault rafale..

Nitro Zeus

Sweden is like a mini usa... But better

Takes too long to take off,much faster in Sweden.

One engine only? Is it toy really for war?

świetne maszyny to są MiG 29 ...

เป็นการจัดหาตามงบของกองทัพอากาศที่มีอยู่เชื่อว่าต้องจัดหาเพิ่มเติมแน่นอน

North Korea must modem air force by different way

I saw one of these fly once and it crashed. Not impressed.

صراصير الليل

Does USAF have all fighter jets types of the world? lol

Just Google the F-20 Tigershark and you will see that America had a similar plane in the 1980's yet cancelled it because it wasn't 'EXPENSIVE' enough. Sad.

copy su 35

flying crap

Красиво показали, звук приятный, видимо поработали, да и вообще красивый самолет. Но война это штука грязная, безпринципна и убийственна. И например хорошей российской ракете будет наплевать сколько датчиков у этого самолета, насколько он красивый, его слоновые ушки отвалятся при виде какой ни буть СУ "SY" ). А так, я искренне рад что Швеция имеет, и делает вклад в развитие авиопрома человечества.
