With Sweden now in NATO I wonder if there's more opportunities to sell Gripens? Everyone wants F-35s now, but they may be hard to come by.
Some NATO countries already use GripenYeah, I'm not sure how much Lockheed can spool up the production line much faster, perhapsFLYBOYJ has some insight? Is the Gripen compatible with current NATO missiles? If so, and being the more-affordable of the two, I'd imagine it would seem a fair alternative though obviously less capable.

Ohh there is more then enough natural gas in the east. Libia i.g. Oil fields very very rich in Suriname. Takes some time but it is there. Europe took suprisinly the easy way. Not anymore i think.What's the alternative for Europe? I suppose Norway and Scotland have a lot of oil, but I'm not sure about gas. One place that does have gas is Ukraine. Once the war's over, switch over the Ukrainian gas as part of the rebuilding process. Natural gas in Ukraine - Wikipedia
A total of 28, all leased from Sweden.Some NATO countries already use Gripen

Gripen uses the same 27mm canon than Eurofighter.![]()
Why Gripen is an Ideal Choice for NATO Missions | Stories | Saab
The most important requirement for a NATO mission fighter is the ability to perform Quick Reaction Alert missions.www.saab.com
It has been integrated with AIM-120, AIM-9, IRIS-T or Meteor
For air to ground Brimstone AGM-65 or Taurus are some examples
The JAS 39C is fully NATO interopretative.
But we need to keep in mind, that the Gripen is a multi-role fighter, where the F-35 is a multi-role combat platform.
The F-35 is often referred to as a "fighter" or a "multi-role" fighter, but it's capabilities (and designed function) go well beyond those labels.
The Gripen would be able to perform the air superiority role (like the F-22) in operations, allowing the F-35 to conduct it's strike missions, so that is definately a plus, but I don't expect the Gripen to be able to "replace" the F-35's mission profile.
LM is putting out about 150 F-35s a year right now, compared to the 270+ total Gripen production.Yeah, I'm not sure how much Lockheed can spool up the production line much faster, perhapsFLYBOYJ has some insight?

What makes you think Gripen is more affordable?If so, and being the more-affordable of the two, I'd imagine it would seem a fair alternative though obviously less capable.
There's a lot more than that - I don't think people realise just how far ahead the F-35 is especially when it comes to the sensors, sensor fusion, data sharing etc. I sometimes use the analogy of comparing a 1980s walkman vs a iPhone. Sure both can play music but for the iPhone there's a hell of a lot more that wasn't even considered when the walkman was in use.The big thing the F-35 brings to the table, to my thinking, is its ability to act as an AWACS as well as its active combat roles.

F-35 cheaper than the Gripen?
The Royal Thai Air Force is considering the acquisition of new fighter aircraft, and favors the Lockheed Martin F-35. Among the arguments, in addition to its adwww.aviacionline.com
I think you guys are a bit harsh in regards to syscom3 post. I don't see him being a Russian apologetic for stating his concern or personal opinion on this matter.The victim-blaming definitely smacks of Russian apologetics, but that's why I'd like to see @syscom3's sources for this claim of his.

We better pull our forces out of Northern California so as not to upset anyone.

What time line, or which "invasion" are you referring to?....Russia invaded Ukraine before Ukraine abandoned neutrality. This is a fact.
