As cool as the Gripen is, the Typhoon probably still does that job better.
Yeah, I agree with all that. Obviously, there isn’t a truly 1:1 alternative go the F35. I’m just saying that the Gripen is a strange choice for Canada when looking for an F35 alternative. The Gripen makes a lot of sense for a small county, strapped for cash that needs an interceptor more than anything, like Ukraine.
The Gripen isn’t exactly a great jet for dropping bombs. It’s mission is to be a quick to launch, easy to fly jet to intercept Russian fighters. Imo, the Gripen is an awesome aircraft, but an odd choice as a F35 alternative. I would think the Rafale or Typhoon would be closer in mission capabilities to the F35.
Isn’t that where most of them are still sitting?
