Saab's Gripen E 

A bit like an Audi commercial, yes.

So you think Canada needs a 100 of mock-ups?!

Ha canada could have started taking deliverys of the F-35 already. To bad canada is fucking stupid when it comes to military spending

NLBoots imagine Canada with around 100 Griphen E's for general air superiority, with 20 to 30 F-35's for stealth attack and spec ops.

No doubt it would be an effective combination. However if you look at it historically, Canada hasn't deployed more than one dedicated fighter platform. I'm guessing the air force, should they select the Grippen, would use mostly the E variant with some F variants. The F's can be configured for the EW role in support.

They will soon be obsolete in a world of 5th Gen and 5.5 Gen warplanes !!

With recent decline of peso against dollar. I would say around 6-8units of bird including ILS package, training and maintenance. If Gripen would like to step up their game to us then they should start offering the E version rather than C/D.

theyre offering the older version. f16 viper is better

CriZtobal H di kaya mahal yan

@@batangfirst5993 mas mahal ang Viper ng US

Atleast 4 squadrons of gripen E

$$$$ -- they have a real cash crunch up there and don't want to go into as deep a debt as the US but they WILL eventually have to make choice. Give them a few more years and even with the spares they bought from Australia, they're going to need to replace planes. Nothing they're going to be able to buy that's decent will be less than $100 million NEW in the West and the Russian planes (sorry!) are still not as good. We've had American planes (old F-18s) shed access panels during air shows. These things are literally creaking with age and they have to be replaced and retired for safety. We're probably at least 10 years past the retirement point for some of these planes. It's worse with carrier planes because of the environment they operate in -- exposure to more moisture salt, and all the stress of catapults and arrested landings. There's a reason carrier planes were rated for absolutely 20 years of use or 6,000 flight hours max. They're crazy to keep them in carrier service unless they do serious rebuilds. They retired the last A-D models in USN service because they were creeping against critical fatigue with the airframes. The USMC desperately needed planes and gladly took what the Navy offered. In the meantime, the USN upped its orders for Super Hornets but they're still short on planes. The US Navy decided it coudn't afford to keep the Tomcats in service with rebuilds even though they were offered a very good deal on new-builds and reconstructions by Grumman in the late 1980s. Nobody anticipated the tempo of operations would INCREASE after the Persian Gulf instead of decreasing. Everything's been harder than what they originally planned for.

They were part of the F-35 program, but they backed out 🤷‍♂️

Gripen E Combat air patrol radius: 900 km (559 mi). Do you know approximate size of Canada?

@@RHGM71 It's just over 4000 miles from the furthest east islands of Canada to the furthest west points. Huge, huge amount of territory. A plane with a tactical radius of just over 400mi is still considered short-range -- that's most of the current fighters unless they carry significant amounts of drop tanks. 559mi combat radius is in the low middle range. Only the larger fighters -- F-15, Su-27 family, F-22 -- have tactical ranges over 700mi average. Those planes have high internal fuel capacity or carry even more external fuel than the small fighters. The planes Canada uses (F-18) are highly dependent on air-to-air refueling or carry max-fuel or the bases are highly spread out. I'm sure they have the forces deployed to evenly cover the interior but the defense overlaps with American systems. All the planes in production are at least $100million a piece with spares. The Gripen E is significantly re-engineered over the previous-generation Gripen C and is virtually a different plane with completely different avionics and higher-thrust engine than the plane first flown in the late 1980s. It's not much cheaper than the EuroFighter ($120million minimum; the plane costs more than advertised like most in-production fighters) or the Rafale (close to the Eurofighter costs; again, everybody is playing with their numbers).

@@AvengerII Yes but buying a fighter plane is just the first step...then you have the cost of flying it and there you have a huge advantige for Gripen E.

@ Mcjhay Villaflor, the Philippine Air Force (and Navy) will forever be in need of funds to realize its dream. Unlike its neighbors such as Malaysia, Indonisia or Singapore who have the money to buy these military hardwares in a heartbit, the Philippines will need to sacrifice some of its convenieces to be able to raise the required funds. I don’t think your politicians are ready to go out of their comfort zones. During the time of the PNoy administration, the Supreme court of the Philippines has already declared that Pork Barrels (congressmen’s & senator’s CDF) are illegal appropriations in the Philippine Budget. The sad reality though is that the Philippine congress would rather have it back at any cost. In fact I beleive that they don’t just want it back, they want its amount raised! The Filipino people can only dream of having top-notched military hardwares, but their politicians will always screw it up.

Brian Jordan Thales SPECTRA EW Suite, found in Rafale beats everything right now.

depends on you meaning of most andvanced but yes technically its true, its a multi purpouse aircraft, so in a fight with say a f35 the f 35 would win yes its a better fighter jet, but overall i would say jas E is a better choice ofc all is relevant

@@Toujeo the F35 wouldn't win.

I would say his claims are on the way towards realism, but there is still room to go. A better idea would be a stripped down system that sells for cheap, which can be developed according to the needs of the nation.

@@timgillgren2042 YES the f35 and f22 will take it out quickly. This guy is talking to sell the jet. A sales person will tell you anything to get you to buy.

no. Canada must purchase from USA. Because USA is friend of Canada.

@Ace of Spades No. USA is the best friend of Canada. Canadian play Swedish football? No Canadian plays American football. Is there Canadian team in Swedish baseball league or basketball league?

General Gilbert Gapay chose the F-16v for PAF. Gripens were good contenders but infearal to the F-16v. The cheap price was so enticing.

Two engines would seriously affect the rotation-time of the plane, and stealth is probably on the way out with new EW technolgy

No difference..same aircraft. NG=production name = New Generation. E/F= final name of this new version.

Gripen E costs more than an F-35 - Please stop using Gripen C/D pricing. Brazil paid 4.68 billion for 36 Units. That's 130 million per plane. The F-35 is now 85 Million per unit.

@@hobmaniac Whats the price when you compere/ flight hour??? Gripen is cheaper to buy ..but the huge difference is the price for operating the planes... or will you just part the F35 in a hangar?

@@JorgenPersson-jo4sc F35 is a cheaper plane to buy then a Gripen E. I'm sure that the flight/hr is pretty high on the F35 right now at 30k. Gripen E no one knows, people again use C/D pricing here. I am sure the Gripen E cost per flight hr would be cheaper but it's probably much higher than most think.

@@hobmaniac Yes F35 are on sale now because of complains that it´s to expensive from other NATO countries which are forced to buy the F35 from USA. When you compere planes you should take in account what they cost during a 20 year period of using the planes with everything else like spareparts....etc. ...and you get 3-4 JAS Gripen E for one F35 (even after sales price on the F35.) Fligh hour cost/hour in USD Gripen 4500 USD F35 21000-31000 USD (depending on which version)

@@JorgenPersson-jo4sc Anyway, I think they are both great planes, but both have different strategy to win. Hence why i think any nation that can, should buy both. Having a single strategy leaves no options when it fails.

If anyone complains about the noise at the airbases nz can convert sections of the roads in rural areas like sweden has done for different reasons.

My reply is a bit late, so you may have already discovered that Saab had already offered gripen to Philippines. Our country (if you're a Filipino) has shown interest in its C/D variant, and may buy 12 - 24 gripen.

Paul Chua The PAF should acquire the F-16V Block 70/72 Viper. The Viper is ko match against the Gripen C/D varaint that SAAB is offering. If SAAB offered the E/F varaint, then it would be a match against the Falcon. C/D version of the Gripen will be obsolete in the 2020’s. Plus it doesn’t have an AESA radar with less payloads. The Falcon has one of the world’s most advanced AESA radar that is equipped in 5th Gen stealth fighters such as the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II. It also has a longer combat radius and can be equipped with a conformal fuel tank for an extended combat radius. It also has more payload than the Gripen. That is why I think that the PAF should acquire the F-16V Block 70/72 Viper instead of the Jas 39 Gripen C/D.

@@3sniper98 I second your choice. The Chinese were very scared of F16, I remember them asking General Dynamics not to sell it to the Philippines. Also in time of war when you need technical, maintenance, parts and armaments, you can't rely on other country like Sweden. When you get a block of F16V, ask the Israel to upgrade the fuel tank to a bigger load so it can fly far far away from your base. They also beefed up the landing gear and loaded the F16 with a sophisticated air to air missiles. Israel downed almost 100 enemy planes without losing one F16...its a fact. Some people said, its costly to fly the F16, but there's no money to compare when you are securing your freedom, security and sovereignty.

@@zzzzzsleeping china never asked GD to not sell to philippines, where did you hear this Bullshit propaganda??? no one in the chinese air force is scared of the F16 a 40 year old design

@@dendrov Yes because we turn down your offer of junk F16's. Americans are the most boastful and arrogant people in the world. The only thing that you can sell to the world is your XXX movies.

fakeItRight Saab automobile and Saab air fighters is not the same company

howard weitzell Yes!

The one thing thing this aircraft is able to beat the F35 at is cost.

+Brabble Master and you are basing that on what? The cost of the f-35 is it's steath and that the US had to make an entire new fighter. Saab already had their airframe and didnt need to spend billions on making a new one. It will have arguably the best AESA radar on the market (the raven), brand new EW. The datalink on the girpen has always been one of the best so i dont see why this would be any worse. It will carry some of the best weapons on the market Iris-T and Meteor to name a few (the Us might buy the meteor for the f-35) It can, just like the f-35 engage targets behind it and turn away and still have radar lock. I dont see where it's lacking except for stealth.

Spot the Swede...

King Konug did i lie?

f-35 has it advantages same as the gripen, for example - gripen is designed for short range interceptions/multitasking, if the gripen dont have the proper ground support radar then the f-35 beats it everytime.... remember that gripen is designed for swedish defence interests and thats it. That means defence and nothing else.

Translation from Swedish mentality: "We're getting desperate."

​@@LRRPFco52 well sweden don't need to have movies promoting their products, and i don't think swedes or SAAB are as desperate compared to Lockheed

@@Brissebrajan Take a look at the Saab RU-vid channel. They're promoting fighters just like Audi would promote a car.

yeah, would give you a start for your millitary industry
