@@jonanolakers1567 It's not that fucking narrow... Have you been to one of the roads they land jets on in Sweden cuz I have, and they are wider than normal landsväg...
A few years ago, traffic was shut down on the highway and we were forced to wait while a C-130 landed, turned and flew away again. A completely normal day in Sweden.
We have our fair share of potholes also in Finland. Our road infrastructure gets back a fraction of the amount our government taxes road traffic. It's been like that for couple decades now.
These are not any highways "in europe". These are dispersed stretches that are purposly reinforced and planned to be used as make shift runways when they were built to handle this since their inception and made sure to always be upkept to the highest standard. At least that has been the case for the Swedish highways as this kind of operation has been part of Swedish doctrine for the last 50-60 years.
Obviously, F35s are able to land on highways and that’s awesome. For a lot of countries’ specific needs the F35 is preferred for good reason. However, it was never really designed for these kinds of dispersed operations. The maintenance, the staff requirements, etc. You need a big logistics machine and organisation behind the scenes to operate a F35 in combat. Meanwhile, Gripen was designed from day one to do exactly what we see in this video, in every aspect of the platform. A pilot plus just a minimal crew of conscripts and one technical leader (2 years of experience) is all that is required to have Gripen flying continuous combat missions from covert locations, using highways (or frozen lakes, if you happen to have those). All the equipment required to operate is housed in a standard shipping container, even when the aircraft is on its home airbase. So when shit hits the fan, you just pick up the very same container with a truck and scoot to some forest hideout somewhere close to a highway and continue operating in the exact same way from there, without any additional training needed to do so. Obviously, I’m not saying that Gripen is some kind of super-next-gen aircraft that is suitable for everything. It can’t operate from aircraft carriers and there are plenty of scenarios that Gripen is not suited for. But Gripen is just a fundamentally different air combat platform compared to anything else around the world at the moment. Gripen and the F35 should not be seen as competing platforms, because they’re fundamentally designed for very different needs and purposes. If anything, they should be considered platforms that complement each other. I would love to see Gripen in Ukraine though, because Ukraine’s situation is exactly what Gripen was designed for.

Those clever Swedes...Gripen is best IKEA unit Designed to fly from any highway, yet fit sleekly into any living room decor?!?😂😂
Speaking of shit hitting fans, do F35's have the same sensitivity as F16s to debris on runways? I heard F16 runways are walked by ground staff to clear rubbish by hand.
I agree on all counts but, having said that, there is not much a Gripen cannot do. As for the F-35 Fighting Turkey, I suppose it could managed if it only needed fuel and ammo.
Slight correction, Gripen is not landing on swedish highways, it lands on country roads. Swedish highways are almost always divided with barrier in the center making them unsuitable to land on, also the close proximity to forested terrain next to country roads make it ideal for hidden mobile service and resupply.
@@billyjoe3309 muskovy already knows since the system was developed in the 1950ies, but there are too many of these backup airfield roads to monitor if they wanted to be cute and pick a fight, far too many to monitor even with drones. Remember, each road base will only be in use for around 45minutes at a time, and never more than once every few days... The Gripen pilots wouldn't even be told exactly what road base to use for RTB until they are within a couple of minutes flying from the road base and can pick up the pings of the mobile radio nav beacon. All the pilots get in their in-flight briefing is a primary and alternate return heading and a time window for each, no coordinates.
I remember in the 90s I was living and working in Germany. I noticed a stretch of autobahn where there was what looked like a wide access road gated off with heavy steel gates. The 'access road' went for a few hundred metres then split into smaller roads disappearing into a hilly wooded area. I wondered if it was some sort of autobahn service area, but a German friend explained it was a cold war emergency military airfield and the smaller roads lead to secure underground bunkers for the aircraft.
In Finland there is publicly known at least some couple dozen places in the road network, which can be used as a airplane field if it becomes necessary. They practice the takeoffs and landings periodically, just like in the video. This is all just a part of preparation for defending the country against possible war of aggression. I believe also Baltic states have quite high rate of preparing to any kind of hostile movements. Finland did never cancel conscription so basically every finnish man have been trained for war, if they had no health issues preventing it. Nowdays also women have the option to go to army if they choose so.
As all airfields are prime targets there is no other option than to turn to highways. The Germans did it on a small scale during WWII and kept doing it during g the Cold War.

Gripen is a underrated, extremely capable aircraft.
I dont think its very underrated & neither was Saab as a car brand? Instead i think neither are "as common" simply because they were/are being produced in smaller numbers? in the case of cars (when they still made them) they clearly didn't even get to a quarter of the production of their competition & you could easily find 5x the BMW or Mercedes or Volkswagen dealers for every Saab dealer, in the case of F35 vs Gripen i'm 99% sure they produce something like double the amount of F35's a year (or more?) because it's simply a much bigger (collab of) organization(s) And at the end of the day when a government finally decides to upgrade their jet fleet they want them as soon as possible 🤷♂
You reckon if Russia marches into Finland, the US will come to its rescue against the possibility of Russia levelling your cities with hypersonic nukes for which you have no protection and means to shoot down? I admire your courage but we need realism here.

The usage of dispersed airbases is a key design feature of the Gripen required by the Swedish Airforce and has been for the last 3 Swedish fighter systems
Norwegian F-16 Pilots have been known to be the bad ass of the skies. Now we will see how this transit into the new platform. Starting from scratch, basically.
It's a quite different system in training compared to most countries, the pilots stay active for longer and have more tactical responsibilities. There's been some talk about how it will integrate with NATO.

This is the expeditionary version of JPALS (Joint Precision Approach and Landing System), developed for aircraft carrier use, to put the F-35 down on the wire within a meter or so of required landing position. It's an automatic system that was then adapted to land use, specifically for this purpose. It means US and Allies can rapidly build prefab mat airfields anywhere and the F-35 can land on them, with perfect precision, in any weather, day or night, without using lights, or an IFR runway's instrumentation. With that tech you can use any road, or an island in the western Pacific, or a prefab runway in the outback of Australia, or a road in Scandinavia, to build a new F-35 forward operating base in less than a week to rapidly change the regional airpower equation. Enabling deep strikes from temporary forward operating bases.
While I think it's possibly true, the nature of how Sweden's air force was designed to be distributed isn't necessarily something that can be mapped over to a centralised force in short order.
The challenge of operating three separate fighter systems with unique requirements on crew and maintenance resources might be a stretch even for someone as motivated as the Ukrainians would be
I think it’s very practical. It requires far less man hours of maintenance per flight hour than the F-16 and only one has to be a specialist. And still 100% nato compatible.

Sweden have had landing strips on public highways for military aircrafts since the 50s. Lots of bases but most are now decomissioned . The systems were called Bas 60 (started in the 50s) and Bas 90 (started in the 70s)
it makes me happy to see our countries in Northern Europe pulling together and also that they're backed up with the US. We are grateful for the US support.
With the current uncertainty surrounding the level of support from some members of the Republican party for Ukraine, it's prudent not to rely entirely on U.S. assistance. History has shown that American support can sometimes be delayed, as seen in the last two World Wars. It is essential for us in Europe to prepare ourselves to stand united and strong in the face of any potential threat from Russia.
As someone who leans towards the “Right”, Donald J Trump has always made it extremely clear. “Make America Great Again”. As any nation should generally have best interests in mind for their own citizens. President Trump made it clear how most nations were not keeping their ends of the bargain financially with NATO. The US was printing money that we didn’t have. Because of Donald Trump’s insistence, most countries began to have skin in the game. In the last 3 1/2 years we have had a %#^@*+$ in charge that insists on giving money away to other countries to protect their borders while the U.S. borders have been left open even by 1 section of wall that was sitting on the ground ready for installation to close an extremely long section of border. Not only did the Democrat President not put it in place, he sold it to people for pennies on the dollar. It was there, it was paid for, and it was already paid to be installed. This clown took it even further. The US was paying rent while that section of wall was not installed. We just captured 8 or 9 ISISK terrorists this week in America. We can talk about Fentanyl, the Chinese, the Cartels, Children sold into sex trade by the Cartels, the U.S. spending billions to support these millions of people Biden has asked for. Those are some of the reasons the Republicans are against throwing money away. Who’s going to help us get these people out of America that Joe invited. There are many convicted of terrible crimes that were allowed to leave prisons in their own countries. We can’t get President Trump in quick enough.
Not gonna lie, that F-35 cockpit looks like a flying saucer cockpit. It's very sleek and pristine! Additionally, the orange tint relative to the F-22's window tint is an extra bonus. It's like the orange tint and the colour of the blue sky makes it almost have a purple tone too.

I think the Norwegians wanted this so their planes have parachutes, I think, to make the landing possible. I think it requires lots of manhours of service per flighthour and every one must receive training and education before they can be used.
Yeah, the F35 won't re-arm and re-fuel in 10min with a ground crew of a few conscripts and a technician, also note that the F35 didn't land on an actual normal road; yes the strip is used as a road for regular vehicles, but Finland, unlike Sweden, are depending largely on "regular" modified/significantly widened roads for dispersed operations, where Gripen can really take off and land on a regular 16x800m road.
Sweden has been using roads as temporary airfields for years its been part of their battle plan. NATO has been learning it from Sweden ever since they joined.
@@topbanana4013 Lol. Draken (predecessor of Viggen, which in turn was the predecessor of Gripen) had its first flight in 1955, and was designed specifically for dispersed operations from regular road bases. Harrier had its first flight in 1967, or twelve years later. But sure, the Swedes probably just used a time machine for their inspiration.
The Americans have been doing this since WW2 you idiots… so what’s your point… they even used plain old dirt roads as airfields, nothing new you sycophants…
Note that the F35 footage is not actually a regular road; Finland relies largely on modified and significantly widened roads for their dispersed operations. You can actually tell quite easily from the footage that it's not a normal road, unlike the Gripen footage. Also, it didn't sacrifice those things; it opted for dispersed operations with minimal ground crew and infrastructure demands. F35 simply cannot match the efficiency and frugality of the Gripen in that aspect, and the F35 is by nature then more vulnerable to attacks on its infrastructure. But that vulnerability wasn't a concern for the US, as the risk of anyone invading them is simply close to zero.
Nothing new for us in Sweden. Building the "Base 60" system started in the late 50´s in Sweden with a number of road sections that could be used as runways. There were also hidden facilities for repair and communications near these roads.
One funny thing about these landing strips on Finnish highways is that when the first ones were constructed in early sixties they were publicly described as "emergency landing strips" for commercial passenger flights. But they were not marked on aviation maps at all... Except later on the American ones. But not on Finnish maps.
Landing on a highway is not much more difficult to land on than a proper runway, except in low visibility where you do not have an ILS system. After all, both are just a long, straight piece of concrete and pavement.
I live in Sweden, about 10 kilometers from one of these strips of country roads, and I can guarantee that it has never ever been used for illegal street racing or high speed runs 😇😇
Well its in the design of the plane and we did this since the 50s , F35 is an amazing bird but the planes are built for different kinda military conflicts.
an f-35C would be better fit for landing on highways compared to the "A" variant. The f-35C has stronger landing gear and a larger wingspan (more lift)
This is a very genius idea, to train pilots, especially when facing emergency situations or in war situations, where runways such as public highways can also be used.Amazing😍
Very interesting. In a real war airfields will be primary targets so being able to operate from roads is very effective. This is not a highway but more like a main road or state road.. As there are only 2 lanes.
This contention is the reason why when the US interstate system was designed there has to be a certain amount of straight stretches in it so far there has never need to exercise it but the capabilities is there.
During the cold war, all former eastern bloc countries had stretches of highways that could be used as start and landing strips. Even with bunkers aside.

lol the A 10 landing is so smooth. The F35, on the other hand, does that so fast.
I thought the F35 was going down a bit too hard lol.
@@dixonqwerty yeah, first one scared me a bit xD
Different wing sweep means different aerodynamics, and accordingly different speed and angle of attack on the glide path.
F35の着陸シーンだけ2 倍速で再生されていますね。
With the F35, Vietnam and Afghanistan would have been won.
The Gripen was designed from the ground up with that ability - it's a fundamental design principle of the aircraft.
Sweden have had landing strips on public highways for military aircrafts since the 50s. Lots of bases but most are now decomissioned . The systems were called Bas 60 (started in the 50s) and Bas 90 (started in the 70s)
Always nice to know that the mighty A-10 is on your side (except in the case of a friendly fire).
Salutes to the pilots! Greasing those landing! Shit hot!
beautiful to see those jets land on roads
@jamiefairlie4837 - А скоро падать будут . И не только на дорогу !🤣
There’s videos of RAF Typhoons operating from a road in Finland too.
it makes me happy to see our countries in Northern Europe pulling together and also that they're backed up with the US. We are grateful for the US support.
With the current uncertainty surrounding the level of support from some members of the Republican party for Ukraine, it's prudent not to rely entirely on U.S. assistance. History has shown that American support can sometimes be delayed, as seen in the last two World Wars. It is essential for us in Europe to prepare ourselves to stand united and strong in the face of any potential threat from Russia.
As someone who leans towards the “Right”, Donald J Trump has always made it extremely clear. “Make America Great Again”. As any nation should generally have best interests in mind for their own citizens. President Trump made it clear how most nations were not keeping their ends of the bargain financially with NATO. The US was printing money that we didn’t have. Because of Donald Trump’s insistence, most countries began to have skin in the game. In the last 3 1/2 years we have had a %#^@*+$ in charge that insists on giving money away to other countries to protect their borders while the U.S. borders have been left open even by 1 section of wall that was sitting on the ground ready for installation to close an extremely long section of border. Not only did the Democrat President not put it in place, he sold it to people for pennies on the dollar. It was there, it was paid for, and it was already paid to be installed. This clown took it even further. The US was paying rent while that section of wall was not installed. We just captured 8 or 9 ISISK terrorists this week in America. We can talk about Fentanyl, the Chinese, the Cartels, Children sold into sex trade by the Cartels, the U.S. spending billions to support these millions of people Biden has asked for. Those are some of the reasons the Republicans are against throwing money away. Who’s going to help us get these people out of America that Joe invited. There are many convicted of terrible crimes that were allowed to leave prisons in their own countries. We can’t get President Trump in quick enough.
Gripen was made for this.
Love the approach angle for the F35!
Not gonna lie, that F-35 cockpit looks like a flying saucer cockpit. It's very sleek and pristine! Additionally, the orange tint relative to the F-22's window tint is an extra bonus. It's like the orange tint and the colour of the blue sky makes it almost have a purple tone too.

They do this in Finland a lot

how do we know where is the next spot ?
@@bobsnabby2298 I believe the Finnish forces would let the public know when the highway is being closed. They do these exercises in the summer. You can search for videos of past exercises here on RUclips by typing: "Finnish Air Force landing on highway" or something like that.
Basic stuff in the Finnish Air Force for the past 50 years or so.
Indicative that other (non Skandinavian) NATO airforces are picking up those skills again.
Exactly.

F35-A doing it was soooo cool!
Awesome to see a CCT guy directing the traffic in a situation like this. Makes perfect sense 👍🏻
グリペンは国情から高速道路に臨時飛行場に使うというのが条件だけど、グリペン自体も（民間航空機の様な）運用時間に無駄がない様な設計になっているので常に
一機の航空機が補給、パイロットの交代等を短時間で行いながら常に上空に送り出すという思想で作られているし。
米軍機でA-10 は上記の運用条件を満たしていると思うけど、まさかのF‐35Aが上記の条件で運用出来るとか、ハイテクなだけに整備に時間がかかりそうな気がしてたんですが。
I think the Norwegians wanted this so their planes have parachutes, I think, to make the landing possible. I think it requires lots of manhours of service per flighthour and every one must receive training and education before they can be used.
@@TheFrewah the parachute is to land on icy conditions where breaking is difficult
Yeah, the F35 won't re-arm and re-fuel in 10min with a ground crew of a few conscripts and a technician, also note that the F35 didn't land on an actual normal road; yes the strip is used as a road for regular vehicles, but Finland, unlike Sweden, are depending largely on "regular" modified/significantly widened roads for dispersed operations, where Gripen can really take off and land on a regular 16x800m road.
運転してて正面からこんなん降りてきたらビビるわ草
Dat's kinda da point :). Best Regards and Best Wishes!

would be nice to see the stopping distance in meters from the planes. or km for some..
Cop parked side of the road with a radar gun saying WTF, didn't get the memo 😂!
Mach 2. That's a few penalty points on the license.
This video is smoking hot. Kudos to the servicemen running those aircraft.
Sweden has been using roads as temporary airfields for years its been part of their battle plan. NATO has been learning it from Sweden ever since they joined.
talking crap. the idea come from UK harriers in the cold war
@@topbanana4013 Lol. Draken (predecessor of Viggen, which in turn was the predecessor of Gripen) had its first flight in 1955, and was designed specifically for dispersed operations from regular road bases.
Harrier had its first flight in 1967, or twelve years later. But sure, the Swedes probably just used a time machine for their inspiration.
The Americans have been doing this since WW2 you idiots… so what’s your point… they even used plain old dirt roads as airfields, nothing new you sycophants…
@@idomaghic wrong jet for the job.

Hello, Baaaaby! Gorgeous way to start the day! Love the smell of jet fuel in the morning!😊😅🎉😂❤
love the Gripen ...
グリペンは航続距離を犠牲にして整備性の良さや短距離離発着性能を獲得し、高速道路からの離発着運用を想定しているのは知っていたけれど、F-35も降りれるんだね。しかも脚部を強化し翼も大きい艦載用C型じゃなくて、通常のA型。
Note that the F35 footage is not actually a regular road; Finland relies largely on modified and significantly widened roads for their dispersed operations. You can actually tell quite easily from the footage that it's not a normal road, unlike the Gripen footage.
Also, it didn't sacrifice those things; it opted for dispersed operations with minimal ground crew and infrastructure demands. F35 simply cannot match the efficiency and frugality of the Gripen in that aspect, and the F35 is by nature then more vulnerable to attacks on its infrastructure. But that vulnerability wasn't a concern for the US, as the risk of anyone invading them is simply close to zero.
Nothing new for us in Sweden. Building the "Base 60" system started in the late 50´s in Sweden with a number of road sections that could be used as runways. There were also hidden facilities for repair and communications near these roads.
One funny thing about these landing strips on Finnish highways is that when the first ones were constructed in early sixties they were publicly described as "emergency landing strips" for commercial passenger flights. But they were not marked on aviation maps at all... Except later on the American ones. But not on Finnish maps.
I just call them wartime air strips whenever I drive over one and someone is asking about them. There are plenty of those.
Landing on a highway is not much more difficult to land on than a proper runway, except in low visibility where you do not have an ILS system. After all, both are just a long, straight piece of concrete and pavement.
Look at how narrow the roads are that the Gripen lands on...
グリペンがこうしてるのが普通に思えるロマン
It is normal. Pilots do this all the time. It means we have more runways than planes.
Gripen seeing F35 landing on a highway:
THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!!!
EVERY AIRFORCE IN NATO SHOULD HAVE GRIPHENS AS THE GO-TO FIGHTER! Great Platform with a Great Price Point!
I think it's good to have a few different platforms, complementing each other.
Beautiful and powerful F-35!
Fantastic cooperation between nordic contries
I live in Sweden, about 10 kilometers from one of these strips of country roads, and I can guarantee that it has never ever been used for illegal street racing or high speed runs 😇😇
I bet i hasnt.. Live close to one too, and youngsters here are so law abiding they would never do stuff like that.

Now wonder pilots wear sunglasses indoors and act cocky. I'd be like that too, flying such beasts with such skill!
For a Gripen; every road is a highway.
that f35 is one sweet looking piece of equipment
Damn those F-35s look so small but what an expensive toys they are!
3:13 wow, amazing steatlh jet F35 ... nice video
With the F35, Vietnam and Afghanistan would have been won.
F-35 landings look like a struggle. Gripen just lands no problem.
Well its in the design of the plane and we did this since the 50s , F35 is an amazing bird but the planes are built for different kinda military conflicts.
Two different roads, and the F-35 weighs twice as much.
@@guyfromthe80s92 well if ur reply os on me read mine again.
I didn't detect any struggle for the F-35s landing.
NATO fighter jets showcase that they can land on sufficiently long, straight, flat and smooth tarmac...
A ruzzian pilot would fail due to a:) vodka swilling in one hand b) equipment failure c) shot down by a ukrainian manpad
the Russians can't even do that 😂
F35 land like Air Force. Gripen land like Navy.
5:40 I suspect that the cameraman wants to hear the guns as much as I do
Talk about drunk drivers, this dude missed the whole airport and landed in my front yard :)
Wonder what 4k video would look like ! "Luxury tho!"
すばらしい
Useful capability 👍
an f-35C would be better fit for landing on highways compared to the "A" variant. The f-35C has stronger landing gear and a larger wingspan (more lift)
That was cool
This is a very genius idea, to train pilots, especially when facing emergency situations or in war situations, where runways such as public highways can also be used.Amazing😍
It is not the pilots ir theplanes that is the problem.
It is the ground personel, rearment, refuling and maintinance gear that is tricky part.

Those were the most realistic RC jets I've ever seen ...........
F-35A and A-10 are practicing, for the JAS-39 it's just a Tuesday.
Ghost rider will have something else to race with now.
It's amzing that the single engine on an F-35 produces double the thrust compared to the two engine on the Gripin.
The gripen has just one engine.
@@mauritzblomqvist8682 Oh you’re right! 😀
Got it mixed up with the Rafale.
Very interesting. In a real war airfields will be primary targets so being able to operate from roads is very effective.
This is not a highway but more like a main road or state road.. As there are only 2 lanes.
I love seeing our close allies equipped with our very best fighters.
What so incredible? SAF has done this since 1960 at least!
I dont know whats so impressive bout this. Here in sweden all our fighters have learned to land on roads since the 60:s
This contention is the reason why when the US interstate system was designed there has to be a certain amount of straight stretches in it so far there has never need to exercise it but the capabilities is there.
These aren’t highways, but national roads.
Correct. If it were a highway, they could land 3 jets side by side ;-)
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!
During the cold war, all former eastern bloc countries had stretches of highways that could be used as start and landing strips. Even with bunkers aside.
