    Finally time for a Gripen to flip that switch into war mode (yes, there’s a war/peace switch).

    Hopefully Trump doesn’t screw this up with the export rights for the engines..

    I thought neither side was able to really operate aircraft due to heavy AA coverage and a lack of air superiority.

    Not hearing much about the F-16s we gave them

    Hope Carney and Canada’s military is closely watching how well these Gripen fighters perform in active combat missions.

    Some outlets are reporting the 200km missile is the Meteor, that could be a game changer. Russian jets are vulnerable when they’re launching glide bombs.

    Should have a much more modern radar than the F16s so able to see much further.

    Ukraine has been wild this last month, they have worked out how to get passed the Russian jamming and fly FPV drones (cameras with an operator) 60 miles behind the lines and wrecking their logistics. Seems interest they “discovered” how to do this (or started using something they had up their sleeves ) just as the Gripens happen…. we shall see.

    Aren’t these the jet’s that have a reverse gear so that they can land at any large street in Sweden ?

  7. they mention long range rockets. If they are talking about *Meteor* Russia’s airforce is going to face an existential crisis

    Russia, you are so fucked!
    From recruiting by forgiving debt, you just push more of the burden on your businesses. This recruitment push will end up with a lot of debt free corpses.
    Ukraine has beaten you and you don’t even know it yet.
    There will be no place to hide Putin!
