Gripen E: The New Swedish Anti-Russia Fighter Jet

It may not be the fastest, most powerful, or most aerobatic fighter jet. On paper, its performance specs might seem average compared to other fourth and fifth gen fighters. However, the Gripen E is considered a "game-changer". Why? Well, for its advanced smart technology and innovative design.

Saab, the renowned Swedish company, has created a fighter that is agile, cost-effective, and intelligent, embodying Sweden's strategy of countering threats with smartness rather than sheer force.

With the ongoing Ukraine war and Sweden's entry into NATO, this jet could play a pivotal role. Today, we’ll see why.

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen, developed to replace Sweden's aging Saab 35 Draken and Saab 37 Viggen jets, emerged from a need for a versatile and advanced fighter in the late 1970s. Initiated by the Swedish government in 1979, the project aimed to create a multirole platform for aerial warfare, close air support, and reconnaissance.

Led by Saab and involving multiple industrial partners, the Gripen faced early development challenges but entered service in 1997, significantly enhancing Sweden's defense capabilities with a modern, versatile aircraft.

Gripen is pronounced with the I being said like the woven in “beep”. Just so you knoe 4:30

What is up with this guy? He keeps changing his pronunciation of the Gripen, it sounds like he is talking about three separate jets, Gripen, Greepen and Griepen i don't think he will be getting many announcements jobs in the future .

gripen is god, the rhing is the pilot....

You are the very rare case of content creators who got at least the price correct for Gripen E. Unfortunatly you did not get the correct flighthour prices for F-35A, Norway airforce leader told few years back that it cost $12500 per hour and they believe that in few years it would be down to $10k. Ofc these Numbers always depend heavily on use and mission. But then same goes to Gripen E also. Still great video and keep doing content and you will be big channel in future.
