Saab JAS 39 Gripen E

Introduction

I would like to suggest the addition of the Saab JAS 39 Gripen E to the Swedish aviation tree.

The Gripen E is the latest and most advanced version of the Gripen family. It features an AESA radar, improved electronic warfare systems, increased internal fuel capacity, a more powerful F414 engine, and compatibility with modern air-to-air weapons.

It would be the natural successor to the current Gripen C in War Thunder.

Specifications

Country: Sweden

Role: Multirole Fighter

Crew: 1

Engine: General Electric F414-GE-39E

Maximum Speed: Mach 2

Armament

Air-to-Air:

• Rb99 (AIM-120 AMRAAM)

• IRIS-T

• Meteor (Future consideration)

Why should it be added?

• Natural progression for Sweden’s top-tier aviation.

• Represents modern Swedish aviation.

• Maintains competitiveness with future aircraft.

• Historically accurate addition.

The first time I read it I thought it was gunna be something like the usual:

“Add Gripen E to Italy because of Brazil”
or
“Add Gripen E to Japan because Thailand”
or
“Add Gripen E to America because Its on the Earth”

But nope literally Sweden. I had to read it twice :D

Guys, my bad. I asked an AI to write a post about adding the Meteor and IRIS-T missiles for the Gripen E. I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t even realize the text was talking about adding the Gripen E itself. That’s 100% on me. Sorry about that.

and here fair warning, never use AI to write anything.
The threads literaly get closed as well.

Not to mention how its a bad topic either way.
The missles will come together for all aircraft when next generation missles get introduced.
Making a thread literaly does nothing

You can also write it yourself in your native language and translate it, no need for AI (just check after the translation if they are any mistakes)

Thailand doesn’t EVEN HAVE Gripen Es yet, they’re still waiting for them to be delivered.

15

eh to be fair, translation tools use AI as well.
Its just a different use case

16

Not all of them

As for those, they will get added when they are added to everything else.

Though there is a debate to be had whether its a good idea for the Gripen E to get moved up like that, or whether a second Gripen E should be added to get them.

Per dictionary?
