A tip top plane perhaps not, IDK about others, but I would happily take a Hawk 128.
What weapons would a SAAF Gripen even use? I dont know much on their airforce, but I didnt think they used sidewinders beyond the B for example, or sparrow, so IRS-T or A-Darter would be OTT right? Also found on their Hawks iirc.
I can’t think of an update from the last 3 years where 2 top tier aircraft were about equal in terms of performance. It has always been one side dominating the other, and after the US stole the show for quite a long time it seems like it’s back to being Russia.
Dude, don’t expect much. This will be a “naked” Leopard 2A7V without cosmetic excesses, possibly with additional PSO-type armor.
If we compare it with the PSO, then this is a breakthrough, if with the Swedish options it’s a failure again, since there is no protection at the top of the tower
