How Sweden Built a Russian Fighter Jet Killer #shorts

Sweden's development of a fighter jet capable of countering Russian aircraft began with the creation of the Saab JAS 39 Gripen. The Gripen, also known as the "Russian Fighter Jet Killer," is a multi-role fighter aircraft designed to meet the needs of the Swedish Air Force and international customers.

The most amazing thing about it is that a relatively small country like Sweden is able to make a world class fighter jet.

[VC]

It is a practical fighter with minimum maintenance but keep maximum operation time in air.

[chrisf]

Never underestimate Sweden's ability to produce very effective, state-of-the-art weapons. They do many things well.

The thing that makes the gripen so versetile in sweden is that it could land pretty much anywhere and get refitted for combat in like 10 minutes. and then take of from any road ofc

It also has the ability to land on roads, and be easily re-fueled and re-armed by a conscript force/low-training personnel.
It's can also use It's high powered, wide crank angle radar to launch the extremely high range, variable throttle, MBDA METEOR missile, that vastly outranges most other missiles, other than the Russian R-37 which is a supersonic missile meant to shoot down large, slow, low maneuverability targets like cargo planes, AWACS and bombers.

To be honest the EU should also prepare jet fighters that can combat the US not just Russia

[RenéKoertshuis]

Better and cheaper than the is the plane every European country should have.... not the F-35.

[petternilsson]

The history shows that never underestimate the swedes.The swedish army has some of the oldest and most legendary regiments in the world.

The Swedish studied the S400 extensively and concluded that it's not a real threat to western fighters and tactics.

Gripen-e is the Edge of Air self defense, while stealth jets Focus on strike enemy targets, with aesa radar, flagship EW and the most deadly air-air missile gripen is the Guy who even the f22 dont want to fight, here in Brasil we are pround of our sky defender. 🇧🇷🤝🇸🇪

[cellpat]

The strange case of a neutral country that can build one heck of a non neutral fighter jet. And they've been at it for a long time.

[petergrandien]

Funny how all "Internet Generals" seem to know everything about the most classified object in the Swedish Arsenal.

[badtothebone]

Great video! You are correct. Can you use the newest Gripen E or F in your next video?

[Monkeybisniz]

Plus a 10 minute turn around on a 1km stretch of road make anywhere a airport

[jaanikaapa]

Also it operates better C&C system than F-35. It sees all.

[chrisc]

Don’t forget it can carry the meteor missile. Probably the best thing about it lol

[markandrade]

They're designed to DEFEND their nation, NOT invade others. They can land on Sweden's tree lined highways in their forests... that's bad ass. BTW I own a 2005 9-5.

[thespeedracer]

Comparatively speaking, it is the very definition of an inexpensive modern fighter jet.

[aarondoyle]

The Swedes and the Finns have both built militaries with a singular focus on making the Russian military pay for every inch of advance with massive casualties if they ever decide to invade.

While not actually showing the E-version.
