If Canada doesn't buy the F-35, the Grippen a contender?I wonder how they're getting on with this one....

At first glance, Gripen seems to have a testosterone deficiency. A 17th century fencing sabre instead of a samurai sword. Either one will kill you just as dead. While the samurai takes his roundhouse swing, your sabre pokes right up under his sternum.Yes they did!
I enjoyed the link but I'm curious about the article saying Sukhoi jets achieved a legendary status in out-maneuvering U.S. jets. Is this true? Is it sensationalism? Somewhere in between?
Unproven sensationalism. Because they do the "cobra." Every time these armchairs hype Russian designs, they usually wind up as smoking holes or sitting idle in a dessert picked apart and covered with graffiti.I enjoyed the link but I'm curious about the article saying Sukhoi jets achieved a legendary status in out-maneuvering U.S. jets.

....and the SAAB 35 Draken did the "Cobra" decades ago!
Thanks.
I have to say, sitting in a desert covered with graffiti seems like a strange tactic to me. Are NATO tactics evolving to counter this threat?
Yep! But thank god it was never attempted by one in combat! Then again I think the Draken drivers were smarter than that!
