In Future we should get Gripen NG for our AF

[Flynn Swagmire]

Well, I know that we cant afford to buy right now. But in future we must replace our obsolate Fighters, may be after 2014. In future if we buy Fighters we should get the Gripen NG. After some research you may also say that we should go for Gripen NG.

Why I liked Gripen NG?

* Netcentric Fighter - A truly Network connected next generation multi-role fighter with the world’s most highly developed secure and multi-frequency data link.
* Superior Sensor Fusion – Latest generation avionic mission system with high computation power operating on ultra fast digital data bus highways.
* Smart Digital Cockpit - An advanced fully digital cockpit layout with large colour, Multi-Functional Displays (MFD) and Hands-On-Throttle-And-Stick (HOTAS) provides the pilot with a superior situation awareness.
* First to know - first to act - A combination of low radar, IR and visual signatures, along with a state-of-the-art AESA radar, an Infra Red Search and Track (IRST) sensor and superior sensor fusion, including world leading new generation weapons integration, ensure a high hit ratio in any engagement.
* Outstanding Agility - The world’s most agile fighter for close combat. A combination of advanced aerodynamic layout, utilizing a combined close-coupled canard – delta configuration and a triplex, digital Fly-By-Wire Flight Control System (FCS). A winning Dog-Fight capability in combination with the latest generation high off-bore sight missiles and Helmet Mounted Display (HMD).
* High Operational Tempo - Gripen’s high operational availability, rapid turnaround and minimal support requirements enables sustained high sortie rates providing Commanders the ability to meet the most demanding operations with minimum resources.
* Affordability - Gripen NG achieves the lowest operating cost of any modern fighter. This is accomplished by combining advanced system design and modern commercial off the shelf (COTS) components with the highly reliable and powerful General Electric F414G engine.

Some Sweet Features

* Multi-role capability
* Highly effective in all roles
* A powerful and proven engine
* AESA radar
* Advanced Communication systems
* Tactical Data Link
* Supercruise
* Advanced Electronic warfare
* Strategic reach
* Advanced Weapons Capacity
* Customer-specific weapons
* Combat radius : 1000+ km
* Ferry range : 4000+ km - with drop tanks

Cost

Price of a Fighter - 60+ Mil USD
Cost per hour of Flight - 4000 - 4500 USD

At last

I would like to see 48 Gripen NG and 2 Gripen NG trainer in our Air force. Gripen NG can do the work of EF Typhoon with a half price! Gripen NG is our Economy Friendly, its Cost per hour of Flight is 4000 - 4500 USD and Mig-29 Cost per hour of Flight is 6000-7000 USD or more. You might also know our f-7 also cost us 4000-4500 USD per hour of flight.

So what you think, Should we get the Gripen NG for Our Air force?

In future we will be capable of procuring better planes than gripen hopefully

may be jf-17 will more suite to BD.... as a cost effective fighter... Gripen NG... is BD rushing war with IAF or Myanmar

Dont wann destroy party, but Gripen NG is right now is ranout of problems especially in full speed. So always keep plan B for your airforce. BTW it is best aircraft at its cost.

 

[Kompromat]

JAS-39 Gripen = Highly overpriced JF-17.

A strong air defence against India with BAF maintaining air superiority over BD's air space is not a impossible notion to comprehend. But then again we have a dalal gov in power, so no worries for India.

Nice joke dude.

 

[theone-neo]

presently bd own how many fighter ac? sukhoi is better thn grippen ng price may little higher,,,

JAS-39 Gripen = Highly overpriced JF-17.

With much better capability.

SAAB does give Gripens on lease, BAF should look into that. They offered such prospect to Croatia.

presently bd own how many fighter ac? sukhoi is better thn grippen ng price may little higher,,,

And what about maintenance cost of flankers. That is multiple time of Gripen. As in past BD got problems of maintaining of Mig29. Gripen is best solution for BD right now.

If we move S-300s on Bangladesh border, we don't have to fly over Bangladesh to score hits over archaic BAF. We can enforce 'no fly zone' over entire Bangladesh with only SAMs.

we don't need to worry even you bought growlers.... the thing is your air space is very tiny.... so it is easy to cover all the air with few fighters.... but hard to defend for long time... and you guys need lot of training....

Brothers I am talking about Gripen NG not JAS-39 Gripen.

As I told Gripen NG is our Economy Friendly, we should go for Gripen NG. Later we might go for SU-35 or J-31.

NG isn't economy friendly for BAF, it costs around (or more than) $65-70 million. Best will be a mix C/D variants.
