And this is the "A" version, not the STOL "B" version. Gripen is a great plane, but perhaps its most fanatic fans can now finally shut up about the road operations and how F-35 can't manage them...
Finland does this regularly with their F/A-18s but SAAB fighter jets are purposely designed for that use. You can do this with most planes as you said, but you can do it easier and more efficiently with Gripens, SAAB is the only local company that designs plans primarily for Sweden, it just makes sense
@@MechDesignTV Sure, and like I said Gripen and its predecessors are cool jets with their STOL capabilities. I just recall that the Saab fanatics tried to repeatedly claim F-35 in particular was incapable of operating with from road bases during every fighter selection process it was competing with the Gripen in, so now these videos are a very handy way to shut them up.
This road is not a ”regular” road as you can see. It is prepared to be used as a strip, Finns have been using it for their F18:s. The real challenge is to keep a fighter flying mission after mission from different dispersed bases with small ground support units.
Finlands so called road bases are real runways 3 km long and 20 meters wide. A fully loaded Boeing 767 could take off from one of them. When I see a F35 take off from riksväg 44 I will be really impressed. maps.app.goo.gl/jkiUm4Hq6L4iAoDj9
Flying without the Lüneburg lenses now? The radar signal reflectors that make it light up in radars. For security and industrial spying reasons they used to have at least 6 of them per plane.
@@Orbital_Inclination True, apparently I only looked pieces where they were hidden by other structures. But let's call them still Lüneburg lenses. Burg = castle or medieval city that used to have the form of castle. Berg = mountain. :D

yeah, most planes can do road operations, you just don't see it as often as the Swedish planes since its mainly a nordic thing.

Dang!
Every Night in Seinajoki heard airjet test maybe F-35

Wow, that noise is going to cause serious health issues.
No it won't. Ground crew and pilots all wear PPE for that reason.

The Luneberg lenses can be seen on the top of the aircraft at the wing root, and two on the underside of the fuselage

@@juhanivalimaki5418 thanks for the pedantry, it's really cleared up what we were talking about
But Stoltenberg do not let them fly at nighttime.

Stoltenberg has no say over when the jets of any nation can operate
