Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Do you have a source?

The viggens were to receive pylon upgrades to mount them iirc but by them time they were ready to do so the later gripens seemed like the better choice unfortunately they ended up using Iris-T instead as they were more modern. Gonna be a bitch to find the info for it since thats somewhere i look last lol

1988 SIPRI world armaments and disarmament

It has all of the weapons that alot nations sold unless that selling was secret and the US sold 9M to Sweden

Just because Sweden bought it, it doesn’t mean they used it, nor that it even arrived.

They got it and used it with the Gripen as it couldn’t of been used for anything else

If you think other wise boo hoo

Do you have a source?

That they bought them yes

But not that they used them, is that correct?

And that matter how cause it is pretty obvious what they did with them

Again, buying something doesn’t mean that it was used or even delivered.

It was delivered

And when you buy something and then a few years later get a plane that can use it you will its not a massive leap in logic or anything here

You are missing the point.

Your point is irrelevant

My point is that buying doesn’t mean using, or, in other words, that it very much is not irrelevant.

Also mentions of the Swedish calling AIM-9M RB 74

Do you have evidence that they didn’t use them?

That doesn’t prove that it was used.

Yeah if they then used a plane that never used RB74 that point would be valid but it isn’t

Yeah they just kept them and didn’t use on the Gripen

Imagine arguing over what sweden used when they have a T-80 and an Mi-28
