Henry120:


But the Gripen C/D is barely better than the JF-17 thunder block 1.

mzilakazi:


Gripen is a winner with BVR.

agaugust:


Go tell the Pakistanis as JF is the project designation....Joint Fighter.

I gave you a taste of your own medicine and will feed you more spoons full anytime....

MikeCZAR:



The Gripen carries 5th Generation missiles, those are yet to be integrated into the junk fighter. So it doesn't!


So junk fighter is again beaten in close air to air combat.


In all the Gripen carries superior air to air weaponry.

agaugust:


JF-17 carries hypersonic missiles BVR....beats the Gripen with faster missiles.

MikeCZAR:
India can humiliate Pakistan any day!

Henry120:


Nope, the Gripen C/D is only marginally better than the JF-17 A/B.

Again i ask, is the %10 difference enough to cost $38 million?

Henry120:


Swedish over-priced barely capable fighter.

South Africa has no money oooooh.....12 Gripen jets in cold storage, no cash for maintenance oooooh

patches689:


So now we can add the Su25 to the list of airctraft that YOU have claimed that Nigeria have aquired?

Those are not helicopter gunships - and are realativly cheap

OP Biro is not 23 years old

Make a meaningfull post for once in your lifetime

JF-17 carries hypersonic missiles.

Junk Aircraft Systems Gripen is still stuck at mere supersonic armament and will NEVER carry a nuclear missile like the JF-17
.

MikeCZAR:
South African saab built Gripens!

SA Gripens are way better than the junk fighter.

patches689:


Better is better

agaugust:

Same way India will humiliate Sweden any day.
Same way Pakistan will humiliate South African any day .

agaugust:


Sweden's SAAB bribed South African government with millions of dollars to buy the Gripen for the price of two JF-17s
.

agaugust:


It required bribery and corruption payments for SAAB to sell Gripen jets overseas

Junk Aircraft Systems JAS Gripen.....only junks need bribery to sell them !

MikeCZAR:
JAS-39 is a Swedish air force designation.


Junk fighter is a Pakistan aircraft!

patches689:


So then Sweden, South African, Brazil, Czechkoslovaki, Thailand and Hungary all got "tricked" into over-paying?

And at the same time, no one has bothered to buy the JF-17?

Yeah, sure

260 Gripen C/D sold.

That says it all.

Henry120:


[s]Project Biro is 23 years old!

They are armed utility helicopters, just like the A109 or Bell, nothing cheap about them. Fool!

The NAF is looking at proposals for upgraded attack aircraft after its attempt to buy AH-1 Cobra helicopters was thwarted
One proposal reportedly endorsed by the NAF involves Puma gunship upgrades and Su-25 fixed-wing ground attack aircraft[/s]

MikeCZAR:
There's no hypersonic BVRAAM !


Stop dreaming!

The Gripen carries better AAMs.

Henry120:


Brazil would operate the Gripen NG.

The other countries you mentioned barely operate the type, and it's the Czech republic, not that cold war gibberish you are spewing.

Hungary lost 2 Gripens in one month, dummy.

Most of(80%) those Gripens are operated by Sweden and South-Africa fool.


In the same vein, Pakistan 250 units, Sri-lanka/ Burma 18-24 examples.

patches689:


1. The Gripen is better - marginal is irrelevant.
2. You are quoting the price for the entry level JF-17 with allmost no capabilities.

Gripen is worth $60 million, proven by the fact that over 260 Gripen C/D have been purchased

agaugust:


JF-17 is a Chinese/Pakistani designation.

JAS Gripen actually means Junk Aircraft Systems Gripen sold for more than double the value !!!
