SAAF JAS-39C Technical Data and Discussion

İt didnt carried R darter in real life and thats the point, it doesnt matter if Gaijin is gonna add those missiles to British Gripen cause that wasnt the question in the first place.

Yes it didn’t carry it

Whilst true. and yeah, probably a bit of a GE scam from Gaijin. Its worth noting that quite a few Brit mains will probably spend that first update getting the FA2 (if it comes) and possibly quite a few Italian mains will spend that update getting the F-16A with AMRAAM (assuming a second one is added for AMRAAM)

I know id probably focus on grinding the FA2 first rather than upgrading the Gripen. That would probably mean other aircraft to the Gripen actually, So id probably have it unlocked first.

That being said. Dont get me wrong. I think Gaijin is royally screwing with Sweden currently.

No worries i totally understand it.

İt just how Gaijin operates and makes me sick sometimes.

See that was the whole point buddy.

İf Gaijin adds R darter to British Gripen (which they will considering they are testing it right now) then good for British mains.

I was expecting them not give our one fox 3 of only AMRAAMS
R darter was a surprise to me
I hope the let the BOL rails on with R darter

Preaching to the choir :P

That is the golden question, i know that Amraams are compatible with BOL rails but have no information about R Darter.

Did SAAF ever use BOL to begin with?

No idea brother, i never checked before.

Yep, that’ll be step one to figure out if R-Darter is compatible. Good chance that if no R-Darter equipped (or planned to be equipped) aircraft ran BOL, then good chance BOL wouldnt be inherrently compatible.

Possible, what makes me concern that since R Darter was kind of experiment on Gripen i dont think they ever tested with BOL rails with them, assuming they have BOL rails in the first place of course.

Yeah. This is another reason Id prefer the SAAF Gripen C (if it should even get ARH to begin with) to get AMRAAM.

Im trying to find a photo of a SAAF Gripen with BOLs and i can’t even find of it with missiles only bombs or nothing so i have no clue

It would be a bit annoying if everyone else Gripen gets BOLs on the AMRAAMS and we can’t with R Darter

Like how do you prove the it can be mounted with BOLs when it was never mounted in the first place

Though I feel this is an avenue we really shouldnt explore too much, just in case they remove BOL, leaving us with less CMs than the other Gripen Cs at the same BR

Well im assuming they have the BOLs i just can’t really see them not having them

Thats why it should recieve Amraams considering Gripen C is compatible with Any Nato armament.

Yep, also after Red Tops, SRAAM and Skyflash. I have a healthy amount of paranoia when it comes to unique missiles for the British TT (/ Minor nations)

Uhhhh, Meteor???
