Is that why it takes half a year to release a new software version on the F-35 and you can release a new software version several times per day on the Gripen?
BTW, due to quality problems with F-35 software, the program office wants to change that to one new release per year.
Meteor is flying on Gripen C since several years. When will F-35 be equipped with Meteor?
F-35 power electronics is based on GaAs. nuff said…
Gripen was using cooperative networking 25 years ago. The US is experimenting with it now.
Gripens autocannon is working. The autocannon is connected to the radar and when asked, the flight control software will steer the aircraft into a valid firing solution and kill the aircraft ahead.
Gripen will not be put out of action by destroying a single base.
Gripen has killed F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-22 and Eurofighters on exercises.
AFAIK, no exercises vs Rafale.
The F-22 was a problem during the first Red Flag. Then SAAB redesigned the radar with improved stealth detection features and managed a kill.
It has never met F-35 so this remains to be seen.
Since Gripen and F-35s are unlikely to meet in real combat, we will never have a real result.
If You meet 8 x Su-35, would you prefer
2 x F-35s with AMRAAMs
1 x F-35 and 2 x Gripen E/Meteor the latter flying with Radar Off being fed data by the network?
- Saab's JAS 39 Gripen is considered to be a highly capable 4.5-generation fighter jet.
- Despite its high regard, the Gripen has often lost out on sales to US jets like the fifth-gen F-35.
Sweden's Saab built one of the world's best non-stealth fighters, but its CEO says that's not enough to outsell US jets
Saab's CEO says that when competing against US-made military hardware, the Swedish company doesn't have "a completely level playing field."
