- (FROM THE NATO CHANNEL)-- Swedish Air Force Gripen fighters practised the art of landing on civilian highways during an exercise near Gothenburg, Sweden on 21 May 2024. Swedish fighter pilots learn how to land on civilian roads to give them flexibility in the event of a crisis. If airbases, airports or auxiliary landing strips are damaged or unavailable, the JAS 39 Gripen fighters can land on roads that have been deliberately engineered to accommodate landings by fighters. On the ground, the Gripens make use of a mobile forward arming and refuelling point (FARP), gassing up in a matter of minutes before taking off again.The Gripen is Sweden’s premier multirole fighter.Footage includes Gripens landing on a road in rural Sweden, and interviews with Swedish officers.-SHOTLIST-(00:00) WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET OVERHEAD(00:10) WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET LANDING(00:18) SLOW MOTION - WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET LANDING(00:29) WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET LANDING(00:42) SLOW MOTION - WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET LANDING(00:52) WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET MOVING ON ROAD(01:00) WIDE SHOT - EMPTY ROAD(01:06) WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET TAKING OFF(01:22) WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET MOVING ON ROAD(01:28) SLOW MOTION - WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET MOVING ALONG ROAD(01:38) SLOW MOTION - WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET OVERHEAD(01:45) WIDE SHOT X2 - GRIPEN JET(01:53) SLOW MOTION - WIDE SHOT - GRIPEN JET MOVING PAST GROUND CREW(02:00) WIDE SHOT - SWEDISH AIR FORCE GROUND CREW VEHICLES PARKING(02:09) WIDE SHOT - SWEDISH AIR FORCE GROUND CREW SORTING EQUIPMENT(02:13) MEDIUM SHOT - SLOW MOTION - GRIPEN JET TURNING(02:17) MEDIUM SHOT - SLOW MOTION - SWEDISH AIR FORCE GROUND CREW(02:20) MEDIUM SHOT - SLOW MOTION - GRIPEN JET ENGINE(02:25) MEDIUM SHOT - SLOW MOTION - GRIPEN JET BEING ATTENDED TO BY GROUND CREW(02:35) MEDIUM SHOT - SLOW MOTION -SWEDISH AIR FORCE GROUND CREW LOADING MISSILES(02:43) MEDIUM SHOT X2 - SLOW MOTION - GRIPEN JET MOVING BEHIND PILOT(02:51) VARIETY OF SHOTS - SLOW MOTION - SWEDISH GRIPEN PILOT WALKING ON HIGHWAY(03:30) CLOSE-UP - SWEDISH FLAG ON GRIPEN PILOT(03:35) MEDIUM SHOT - BRIG. GEN. TOMMY PETERSSON OBSERVES GRIPEN JET ON HIGHWAY(03:45) SOUNDBITE Brig. Gen. Tommy Petersson, DEPUTY COMMANDER, SWEDISH AIR FORCE‘Three months into our NATO membership, I'd say Sweden is stronger and safer. And the Alliance is also stronger with us as an Ally, especially here in northern Europe.’‘This is a very long tradition. Today, we call it agile combat deployment or dispersed ops. For us, I call it normal operations. We started in the 60s to design the system. You must remember Sweden, non-Allied country, neighbour to the Soviet Union. We have always perceived the threat from the east, that we have to be able to leave our air force bases very rapidly. And this is a part of that. So, I say it's a part of our DNA.’‘I think Sweden is punching above our weight, when it comes to many things. And we have a long tradition of domestic arms manufacturing in all arenas or domains but especially of course, when we talk Air Force here, it's a fighter tradition. We started to build our own fighters during World War II, and we have continued ever since then. Then of course, the Gripen fighter of today is a multinational cooperation. There are many, different subsystems from many different countries, but this design is Swedish. And some of the key elements of the fighter are Swedish.Some of the design features that we can see here when they taxi behind me on the runway. Designed for 800m runway length and designed to be handled by conscripts in the field. ‘(05:12) SOUNDBITE - Captain Patrik Lange, Pilot, Swedish Air Force‘You're quite vulnerable around the main airbase if you get on the cruise missile attack or whatever you see in Ukraine, you know, the whole base can be destroyed. There is no way to again lift off with your aircraft or land and refuel and so on.So, with this system, you have like multiple small road systems all over the country. And so we can just drop down at one that is active. So, it's good for survivability in wartime, I would say.’Since it's a lot shorter and narrower, you have to be more careful where to point your nose, of course. And you don't have that much margin in case anything goes wrong, you know.’‘Since this is not anything we do every day, we have painted kind of this runway on the main runway. So, we train there, every day, and so. But, now it’s for real of course, you have, another extra pounding of your heart, of course.’But it feels good to be a part of NATO, and it feels like you're backed up with a lot of resources. And we can also back up NATO with our resources, our country and those kinds of airstrips.’SOUNDBITE - Colonel Adam Nelson, Wing Commander, Skaraborg Wing, Swedish Air Force‘Well, the biggest advantage of using highway landing strips is that you could have more possibilities and you could move around to more take-off and landing surfaces.’ The appearance of NATO visual information does not imply or constitute endorsement.
Hell of an airplane, hell of an air force, thanks Fred!! Great stuff!!
The big problem for the F-16 isnt the landing gear, even if that can be an issue. The problem is the low, very big airintake for the engine. If the runway isnt clear from gravel, stones, sand etc, it gets sucked into the engine and destroys it. The Gripens airintakes sits higher and are smaller. The Russian intakes have covers that they use for landing and takeoff
Entire Swedish defense forces on air, land and water are based on shoot and hide over and over again from a much larger invading enemy. (russia) a kind of guerilla tactic.
Awesome videography!!! I’m not a fan of the delta wing/canard configuration fighters, but the Gripen clearly has its place. Great content as always!!!
Such a Beauty, JAS Gripen ,🇸🇪
Let's hope Sweden revitalizes and expands the Bas 90 system.
The Swedish Gripen and its concept of dispersed aerial-firepower, will have a great comeback - now that they are within the NATO framework. This is the future, together with aerial drones (as buddies)
yeah we have a lot of these "flygraka" where planes could start and land if needed
Awesome skills landing mutli Mio Jet on a 'road'!
Ukraine should have taken the deal to transfer the FA18 from Australia but for some reasons they insisted on the F16 which is marginal on these austere airfields. The FA18 have tougher landing gears and they operate on the most austere environment on the aircraft carrier
Heja SAAB 👍
I would like to challenge other countries air forces and land on their roads in their countries if you can.
I would like to know if the USA does something like this with our many miles of Interstate highways. Also, are the Interstate roadways built to handle this type of activity.
Regarding take-off and landing Gripens (and Viggens) are much better than F-16. The latter is a Formula 1 car that sometimes gets flying.
ive heard these Gripens are as good as our F-16

เรื่องนี้มันเป็นเรื่องของประเทศชาติเป็นเรื่องของเงินภาษี มันจะเอาไปเล่นหมดทุกเรื่องมันทำไม่ได้มันยังมีหน้ามาเสนอฉันอีก
I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE PILOTS RIGHT NAME, OTHERWISE I FEEL SORROW FOR HIM AND HIS RELATIVES IF WAR BREAKS OUT EVEN FOR ALL OTHERS AFFECTED BY THESE STUPID MISTAKES IN PROUDNESS, REVEALING NAMES OF PERSONELL WORKNG IN OUR MILITARY FORCES.
Nothing extraordinary. in Finland F-18s do the same, and if I understand it right F-35 are going to do the same. Nprwegian F-35s do it.
Why was the USA so successful during the Cold War?
