thats not the problem.
the problem is the us f35 in the winter. stealth in the -40 dgree cold.
most of the future combat will happend in north and british colombia side.
More widely available parts make the long-term cost cheap as most parts exist for other vehicles meaning there is a supply that you can get outside of SAAB.
Additionally Gripen has the ability to be modified to fit any NATO equipment so it allows users to choose what missiles they can afford. Not to mention it doesn’t have engine problems in the Cold unlike most US vehicles have, at least old F18 and F16 were unusable in Nordic weather
since you deleted your post in the other thread
the J-15T has 48 CMs and not 32
each row of CM dispensers has 3 CMs, like on the Su-33
and the J-15 has 16 rows of CM dispensers
16 x 3 = 48

these look kinda wierd…
i have the docs about belgs f16 going against algeria mig29
What do you mean weird?
maybe very old ones, but they are used in Arctic operations frequently.
how, if the Saab production lines are way smaller
i mean so can F-35 it just takes some time to integrate. pretty much all of Canada’s inventory is already compatible though so it doesnt even matter
i meant they kinda look the same ( also wierd cuz language )
Man, as morbid as this may sound, I wish there were more videos showcasing the destructive power of weapons like that
you can probably find footage of them tearing up some patch of dirt in the desert during testing
Most of the Gripens parts already exist on other aircraft, or are handled by different companies. It’s always been that way, same with the Gripen C models.
Also SAAB is a mess when it comes to the Gripen and also wanting to pursue their 6th Gen fighter.
I had been corrected on discord hence why I deleted it. I suppose J-15T can run chaff heavy even with just 48 countermeasures. I wonder how J-15T will do with next gen IR missiles.

It’s a danish F16, the page just talks about them needing to be modified to work in Nordic cold environments as they have problems getting the engines to start. A problem we didn’t have when we bought the J35F from Sweden since it was made to deal with the low temps.
Even Norsk F-5’s had to be modified for de icing
Is it because of the roundel on them, that airbase is in plenty of magazines and we have similar roundels.
That’s also bad scans of old newspapers and poor camera quality. Here’s a older image of the Dutch and Danish doing joint training exercises. A lot better quality then an old magazine.
Wonder what rank the giraffe is
i see

As of the last time I’ve seen it talked about by more trusted sources was for the Canadian military. The heavy rumour is that the mixed fleet is all but locked in, but the grenral this is that it can be used in the talks when the NA trade deal expires here this year, hence why the overdo review is still open/
Or at least it was anything I heard anything really about it. Other news (that could easily lead to the SAAB deal being taken) has taken about everything else over the last few weeks, the Defence Industrial Strategy and its fallout (albeit good fallout)
I have tons of scans from Danish archives that I was able to visit so seeing really blurry images isn’t really new to me.
I catalog nearly all Danish aircraft magazines in my topic post I made, (shameless self plug you should look through Danish Draken History and General discussion of Danish aircraft)
Hell I’ve even posted some Harrier ones you can ask @Morvran
