THE SURPRISING REASONS WHY BRAZIL PREFERS THE GRIPEN E OVER THE F-35 

That is a very interesting side to the argument, as Boeing and the US Congress agreed with the F/A-18 having it's technology transfered to Embraer, if my memory serves me right. Thus making it extremely attractive. The real kicker of the deal was SAAB giving Embraer freedom in the design of the E/F variants, as well as the construction of the Brazilian Gripens would be done in Brazil, something Boeing couldn't match. Brazil managed to extract a deal with Sweden for both technological aspects, as well as for indigenous fighter jet construction. Again, further corroborating your point that Brazil wasn't merely looking for a good Fighter, but also for someone who would aid in our Technological development. Italy was the first one, with the AMX, and now Sweden with the F-39.

I'm assuming the discussion is about the discussion in Brazil about the possibility of new air fighter acquisitions. The thing is: U.S. government never offered F-35 to Brazil and they will never will. Period!

Brazil is considering(not officially), the possibility to acquire second-hand F-16 air fighter in order to fill a gap of air fighters which I consider a waste of money! We don't need this now. Why? Because we paid for tech transfer together with Gripen acquisition so, we can build aircrafts by our own. Military are strippers like! You should give money and never touch them.

SAAB and Gripen have amazing engineering

The problem is american engine.

Smart technology at the simplest way is always more difficult to develop. Thats how Swedish technology always is made. Easy to use. I use to say, Why do it simple if you can do it complicated. RIGHT

The F-35 advantages is all about the stealth technology for BVR combat. This is certainly better than Gripen. However, for Brazil necessities and available budget, Gripen is the best choice. My thoughts about it is we need a minimal of heavy air fighters with a large carriage capacity for missle and bombs even in less amount. If they ask me about, the main choice for me would be Dassault Rafalle or F-15 EX if it's possible. I don't like F-35 project. It still has many problems and it's not reliable enough. The availability ratio it's around 35% which is embarrassing considering a $1 trillion dollar project with a operational cost similar or higher(not sure) to F-22

@@AndreCarneiro666 one of The US experts who developed F16 said in an interview that stealth of F35 is scam.

@@AndreCarneiro666 according to experts F22 Has much better fighting capabilities and that is why it is not being sold to external buyers and so called stealth of F35 is a big scam.

Or Anywhere else

Rafale could be a good choice for heavy air fighters in a strategic context for Brazil. A few of them spread throughout the country or using a navy air fighter carrier(which we don't have at the moment)

The Canada choice was strict political. It's about showing who has the biggest dick.

where are you getting that number from?

@@youseff500his ass. Not that is anything wrong with Gripen ,great 4+ budget fighter and great fit for Brazil needs. F35 is completely different beast,on top of fact that US would not sell it to Brazil.

@@digitalcommunist6335Gripen E is superior to f35 in many aspects an can fly during bad weather instead of hiding in a hangar.

Nosso governo venderia o F-35 para o Brasil, mas seu governo não gosta do custo

You're talking to 5th grade-level RU-vid Channel operators/owners who just make whatever assertions they want, just to generate clicks on videos they post.

Not exactly! U.S. convinced their allies with "irrefutable proposals" using cheap packages involving low costs for parts, training, upgrades etc in order to compensate the problems and probably economic sanction threats, of course(democracy).

It doesn't matter! Even now, F-35 for Brazil is out of the negotiation table both for Brazil and U.S. There is no chance to buy it and no reason to do it too.

Yep! But, now we have the opportunity to learn how to build one even better than F-35 because of tech transfer.

I do. Too much hype about an overpriced toy

E has a fairly low radar cross section, not enough to call it stealth but stealth isn't everything and that's the whole selling point for F-35, E is just as sensor fused - without a doubt the best non-stealth multirole fighter atm. I do respect the F-35, but many countries prefer more flighthours than stealth capabilities.. I think they would complement each other very well in an airforce.

@@FXGreggan. This and stealth is mostly valuable if you're attacking, Gripen is built to defend and not so much to attack even tho it can! 👍

It depends, as in most cases. If you operate from highways or from airfields. Access to and support staff. Cost of operation. Integration with most weapon systems. Based on a requirements specification defined by any user (country), the "best" fighter will be different.

😂

The problem is F-35 project is fucked up! $1 trillion dollars until now and the availability ratio is around 35%. It's pathetic!

Lucky Brazil Canada and Australia is finding out the real cost

Why would anyone buy a hangar queen, if it wasn’t for US taxpayers, paying for export of f35, no one would buy them.

Brazil is a major non-NATO ally. Our government would sell to them if they were interested

Uma teoria da conspiração

😂 sounds more like the US than Sweden.

Não faz sentido considerando que o projeto é bem menos custoso e dá bem menos margem para esse tipo de coisa. Além disso, em questões de defesa nacional as coisas funcionam de forma bem diferente e não ficam nas mãos do Congresso ou do Senado. Praticamente tudo é negociado e aprovado na esfera ministerial e da cúpula do executivo.

Gripen E is an advanced fighter.

That is yet to be seen and all that networking ability was pioneered by SAAB

What less capabilities?

Well,the US was pushing for F-18 sales and the French for Rafale, the F-35 was never a contender …
