Found it used here:
No actual source, just says “Open source image”
Issue is however that if you look at the bottom right corner you’ll see a text on this one. Looks to maybe have been painted over in the one you sent.
I can find the image in several places, but news articles aren’t considered sources so we would need the original pdf, preferably with a link to an official source it’s fetched from.
Issue is this
The same text can be found at the bottom of the Packing Iron PDF so I doubt either of those can be used as a source.

That’s interesting, as multiple other sites that use the image say it’s from Saab themselves
The picture comes from a photo taken by a China blogger who went to the UK to participate in the air show in 2018. I put the link below.

It very well can be from SAAB, I am not sure. Could be from a removed article or something. The label still applies, as it is the same as on the Packing Iron pdf from SAAB.
Pretty sure that pdf was used to get through some armament that Sweden does not carry but the Gripen is capable of.
Looking at that it loks like the NG mockup that still didn’t have the MAWS sensors. So probably can’t be used for the E. They also in general don’t accept photos like that anymore unless they come from manufacturers or militaries due to someone trying to fake data with AI :/
I think it is from SAAB, SAAB themselves put that disclaimer on their pamphlets.
That’s too bad:(
interesting…
I also like that the AGM 65 is “air to surface” but the RBS15 is suddenly “multi purpose” . Like are they saying the RBS 15 can be used in air to air?

I mean, get a big enough helicopter like mi 26 and maybe? Kinda boat shaped and sized.

later variants of the RBS 15 can also be used on land targets so they might be refering to that
Yeah but air targets is funnier.

I mean, so can the AGM-65?

i guess the USN’s AGM-65F with a modified seeker optimized for ship targets could be called multi purpose
Now I want to see an air to air kill with a RBS 15, preferably against a newly-introduced Russian fighter that they market as ‘untouchable’
