I did a little bit more research on the topic and I think that in 2008 the Swiss tested the C/D version as 2008 would be quite early for the Gripen NG. Though future upgrades were also taken into account, the upgrades of Gripen NG had a low credibility factor that's why in the early report...

I know what you mean, it was similar in Poland when F-16s were bought, some people thought why we need F-16 when we have MiG-29.

I think I would be banned with you.

Can you give some more details about it?

So is it a myth that P-38 had a bad cockpit heater and that was one of the reasons P-38 didn't was as good as other fighters in the ETO? I remember reading in Wellum's "First Light" that when flying top cover (in Spitfires) they were literally freezing, so it seems the low temperatures were a...

Have been wondering about it lately. All that talk that it's colder in Europe than in the Pacific region, but Aleutian Islands aren't very hot place.

You forget about Jews and the biggest group Poles...
