If you listen to the Swedish pilots who is playing with all sorts of Migs and Suchois over the Baltic Sea in a weekly basis, nothing from Russia is superior. JAS 39 GRIPEN is a Suchoi killer.
The way I see this, Gripen is like a fighter straight out of an anime series. I mean it's electronic warfare, radar and avionics features kinda reminds me of the Zero System of Gundam Wing... If NATO don't want to give F-16 to Ukraine then better give this fighter instead.
This isn't even a fight. The Meteor missile was developed on the Gripen-C (JAS-39C) and it's the deadliest LAAM in the world today. The Gripen also has one of the most potent EW suites in the world, exceeding those of the Typhoon and Rafale. The new JAS-39E has better radar jamming capability than an EA-18G Growler. The Gripen doesn't need a stealthy design to remain undetected.
theorically in the 3rd ORLD AR, THE ENEMY ALREADY WILL HAVE inside the enemy countries, like, for example, stationary or moving very capable land based radars, so, thing get even more complicated and planes can be ambushed even before geting out or their respective countries.
@@ewc58 old Mig 29 are still flying and firing AGM Harm over Ukraine the Gripe E would be able to take pot shots at Russian aircraft. They won't actually put their air defense directly near the front line
