I just made a reservation in one pub here
Well, Norway is a NATO country, so I'm not surprised. On the other hand I am, F-35 must be a few bob more expensive the Gripen...You only have to look at the feeble excuses Norway put out for dismissing the Gripen and selecting the F-35 for proof of that.
"Super Gripen"? Are you talking about the JAS 39NG which I think they call it here? They flew the new one with super cruise earlier this year I read...managed to do cruise at Mach 1.2 then and we're still counting...In what way, Waynos. You have insight into Norwegian defense/offense operations and why F-35 comes up short of Gripen?
Let's remember that Super Gripen is still in prototype stage too. More advanced than F-35 given basic airframe, but still in prototype stage. Super Gripen is more akin to F-18E/F vice F-18C/D. Almost a completely different animal.
Matt, its not that the F-35 comes up short against it. I don't even think that the model involved, the F-35A, does come up short. It was the stupid way in which the Norwegian Govt tried to explain their choice that the political angle was made so painfully obvious.
