SAAB JAS 39E/F Gripen - General discussion

MkIII is not air launched, it is launched from ships or trucks. RBS 15F is a MkI with slight redesign and no booster rockets to be carried by Viggen and Gripen. MkIV is also air launch capable. There is supposedly an RBS 15F-ER spoken together with RBS 15MkIII+ but I am 95% certain it is the air launched version of the Mk4 Gungnir as it seems they changed the name from MkIII+ to MkIV.

moving or stationary?

that isnt too bad with ASM-3, and LRASM as a future addition

I believe moving, also it can’t be jammed either

Pretty sure it is only land attack using GPS, not actively seeking a radar signature.

Yeah RBS-15F-ER is real it’s a longer range model

I do wonder though if gaijin will set up planned routes before launch or not

an actual marketing lie

Pretty sure it is an old name for the MkIV

I don’t make the missile, I just read as the Ikea store says

Jamming resistant, not can’t be jammed. Anything can be jammed with enough effort, really.

My b then

This would be nice :(

@quartas121 are any US munitions lacking an ability to preplan attack guides or no?

The main usages of this missile in a land attack role is also mostly for coastal artillery or coastal air defence, static targets. Could you point to where you’ve read something about attacking moving ground targets?

like programming a trajectory in the missile?

Waypoint 1 → Waypoint 2 → Waypoint N → Attack Vector Entry → Target

Yeah, RBS 15 can follow a pre made route and adjust accordingly to following and attack the area it’s told to search

Yeah, gonna be a bit on that, that’s gonna be me trying to find the specific Gripen NG post I read as that was the first time we saw Gungnir iirc and where I remember seeing the mention

yes, Harpoon, SLAM/SLAM-ER, JASSM and LRASM all have waypoint capabilities as the primary tactical US cruise missiles

Wonder if gaijin will start adding them then, fingers crossed
