iblawi: Pakistan see it as good as there F16's. It is not close the Gripen of the east. it is the F16 of china. It of course being modern means it is easier to maitian and run. In that regard it could be along the same line of the Gripen. |

andrewza: If eventually it is confirmed, 3 delivered units would only represent an initial start-up delivery of a significant contract. The NAF would receive at-least 24 Fighters. |

jln115: South Africans got Gripen around year 2007, and no upgrade has been done. Sweden just has been upgrading her Gripens in 2015, they have the most modern Gripens in the world. http://aviationweek.com/awindefense/saab-delivers-gripen-upgrade-swedish-military Czech republic is also doing the MS20 upgrade on Gripen like Sweden has done. http://www.gripenblogs.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=1170 South Africa is flying less modern Gripens with the 20 year old M19 If I say you South Africans are overrated liars now, Patches will say I hate your country....But you guys tell lies a lot and mislead people, I try to correct your errors and you call it hatred....all South Africans are free to keep living in delusion and falsehood, it will tell on you when you meet head to head with other Africans who are honest and chose to live based on facts and reality . 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Henry240: Many smart countries have evaluated and refused to buy the Gripen, they realize the jet is all cosmetic facial make up beauty on the outside but empty combat capability on the inside. Most countries realize the Gripen C is not worth the $ 60 million price tag. Apart from South Africa and Thailand, no other country outside Sweden the manufacturer, has bought the Gripen in 20 years of SAAB marketing and all the overrated specs. Who will pay $ 60 million like a fool to buy a Gripen that has obsolete 20 year old pulse doppler radar, no IRST, airframe built to last 50 years are breaking into pieces in Hungarian air force Gripen fleet withing 8 years, Gripen has had 11 crashes/accidents within 3 countries. Only 40 Gripen C jets have been export sold-outright in 20 years, about 30 countries have done serious evaluations and refused to buy it. No wonder it took 10 years global marketing and multi-million dollar bribe to get the first Gripen export sale to South Africa. Nigeria should NEVER buy such aircraft for $ 60 million per unit ! Tell me what is inside that Gripen C that makes it great and worth that much? The Gripen is only respected by the majority of people because they are ignorant, the look at it's outward beauty and the fact that a great European white country that makes Volvo cars, built the Gripen. The Indians and 30 other countries that evaluated the Gripen refused to be fooled and refused to buy it . |

agaugust:Do me a favour and read your sources properly, MS20 upgrade has only just been released, so NO Gripen has been upgraded to that standard. SAAF has yet to miss a software upgrade so don't be surprised when we receive the same upgrade after Sweden. 1 Like |

ViceAdmiral:its meant to protect the plane from tilting in the back from too much weight loaded in the rear thus causing the tail section of the plane to make contact with ground. especially when passengers are disembarking in the rear door |

andrewza:The 98 recommendation was still to replace the 250 fighter aircraft we had that time with 50 advanced jets. which is what was done. The SAAF as seen with project curver initially wanted a fighter in the class of the Eurofighter Typhoon or Rafale. they simply had to balance the requirements. |

agaugust: Tell that to Brazil - they just paid $100 Mil a pop for the NG http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-12-18/brazil-will-decide-today-on-4-billion-jet-fighter-contract And the Gripen has failed only 7 bids - not 30!!! And most of the time it was beaten by the Typhoon, F35 or Rafael And over 70 Gripen have been exported... Not 40 Stop being so assblasted, it's boring Edit: I was just reading beegs blog and I saw how you got slaughtered in the forums when the old JF-17 v Gripes Argument came up....

MikeCZAR: The hawks where only officially made operational last year(2015) before that our entire combat air abliety fell on the gripens. The Hawks only being trainers. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 11:44pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
agaugust: LoL actual combat has showen tgis to be so wrong. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:52am On Jan 02, 2016 |
andrewza:Hawks are basically our Impala replacement, would be nice if SAAF could acquire 14 or so Gripen E/F to complement our current fleet. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 4:33am On Jan 02, 2016 |
jln115: Most impales where training only. Both SAAF and SAAB want a few gripen E/F for SA. It is money thing. |

andrewza:Wonder what the 2014 Defence Review states about the requirement for more airframes specifically fighter aircraft...anyway I think the Defence budget will get a reasonable increase this year thanks to the defence review, but I don't think it will be anything substantial, think the increases will mostly budget for transports for SAAF, and OPVs/IPVs for the navy as spesified in last years mid term budget. Dont know if you can shed any light regarding budget increases and possible acquisitions seeing that your in the SANDF?? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 6:04am On Jan 02, 2016 |
andrewza:A result of poor funding. The Gripens are too still under operational test and evaluation. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 7:13am On Jan 02, 2016 |
MikeCZAR:and so are most of pur aircraft, AFVs, ships extra extra. That will never really change. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 7:15am On Jan 02, 2016 |
jln115: It simply says light advance fighter squdron(s) though long term it is a strike fighter. Not really. We dont set the budget that tressury. |
