Gripen NG would be fine for now, Meteor isn’t something we need

They could go with a TT F-2 ADTW Late with AAM-5 (since these are the only F-2s with them at this point) and AAM-4B.
At least the Finnish Hornet has some fun gimmick going for it.
gripen E would be peak man… 3 more mounts for missiles, mega engine, AESA radar would be peak man

Gripen NG with Aim-120s + Aim-9Ms (until IRIS-Ts) and then the Gripen E with Meteors and IRIS-T is probably the better way to do it.

super hornet engine…
I think its not only the hornet thats" aircraft thats sting " its can be f16 viper
Which one, is it the worse CAS than most 10.7’s or is it the one trick pony BOL?
What a fun Gimmick, oh my bad you meant the F-18C with 440kg reduced weight at the cost of being 14.0 with no cas, no HMD, worse RWR, and no C-5 for trying to fight longer range aircraft.
isnt the Gripen E like very odd to name it that when it has only like 1 interchangeable part with the Gripen C in being the windshield lol
The French would like to have a word.

Well technically its Gripen E MS21
current most advanced Gripen C’s are MS20 BLK II
But like isnt the whole airframe different tho… like the Gripen E is …bigger lol
Nah 1400 CM is hilarious. I was almost ready to buy a premium to go down the swedish tree only for the MLU 2. Until I realized that I have no money.
And that is coming from a Hornet slanderer.
it’s also 1.2 tons heavier than jas39C
Mega engine? It wouldn’t change it that much, TWR is 1.22 the Gripen E weighs a lot more but the engine barely does a bit better than the C so at least its not Super hornet syndrome
bif thing for it is the new radar, and mountings for 3 more ARH missiles
Will be even better when those CMs are at full strength too. Large, short burn flares and standard calibre chaff (if modeled 100% correctly, would actually be slightly stronger than regular chaff as well)
