New Swedish Fighter Jet SHOCKED Russians

- Sweden is a small country, but its military industry is one of the best in the world. Just remember the A26 electric submarine! But that's a topic for another video.
Today, we're going to be showing you the new Swedish fighter jet, which should curb Russian ardor in the Scandinavian region.
Typical sweden. The greatest country in earth in many ways i would say . Building their own military forces, their own cars, staging the best music festivals, great athletes. And everything in music...The list goes on. Can anyone image another country with higher density of worldclass band/artists than sweden? I bet not. And the swedes are a very Nice and polite people. Cheers from Norway.
So are the Russians.
Many Brits would disagree with your "best in the world" tag for all those things - but we admire our Scandinavian neighbours too. You've more class than most of the world!
@@OggyGTA I'm best in the world ever :)
I think Norway, being a smaller country, is stronger in sports than Sweden :-)
Proud to call you a neighbour my friend.
The benefits of Gripen that you totally forgot: in case of war, the Gripen can be fixed way faster than any other fighter, loading missiles are also faster and it can take off and land in short roads.
I am by no means a Russian troll who does professional cheerleading here on the internet for all things Russian, but everything you just listed is maybe true if you compare Gripen with the Western jets but not the former Soviet/Russian jets. The whole former Soviet fighter jet program was based on the principle "cheap and good". And their war doctrine was designed for the defense of vast space of Mother Russia where their pilots are never too far from a friendly base since they are fighting on their turf. The Soviets knew that their planes could not compete with the Western electronics and all the high-tech stuff, but they could make them pretty close in quality and for much lesser of a price. So since the electronics and high-tech stuff is not as complicated their planes are also much easier to fix. I'm not exactly sure how fast are missiles loaded onto the Soviet/Russian planes but I can't imagine it being much slower than the Gripen. F-16 might be way better than MIG-21, but if there are 5 of MIG-21's and only one F-16 the odds would go in the Soviet favor, same with the MIG-29 & F-15 potential match up. Most Soviet/Russian planes can also take off and land from short roads and highways, and so can F-18 and specially the Harrier.
Video is trash at the end of the day he clearly knows nothing he didn't even mention the Gripen nearly half the price of an F-35
@@robertbauer3419 that rugged and ready design you talk about was always true for Swedish warplanes, and often more hype than reality for most (though not all) Soviet designs. They weren't modular the way Gripen is, I'm not sure but I don't think Russian planes are today. But then most fighters aren't.
If you don't care if you kill a few pilots and lose a few planes, sure you can operate any plane from a road for emergency. Gripen and Viggen before that was purpose built for this use. Big difference.
@Drew Peacock agree with that
@@robertbauer3419 Sweden turns a Gripen around in less then 10 minutes with a groundcrew of only 5 ppl. That includes refuelling as well as new weapons.
"...SHOCKED Russians." Where in the video did we see anything about the Russians being shocked by a "New Swedish fighter."?
😀😀😀😀😀
This is why RUclips removing the dislike button is a terrible thing.
Russia won’t be shocked will give shock
As you may find out, these videos about new military technology are always published with insanely stupid, exaggarated titles.
And in a lot of cases the technology isn't even put to production yet, or is just a consept or pure fantasy pulled out of someone's behind.
Let's see in which category this video belongs to 😂
@@annaalisianystrom You shouldn't be worrying about Russia.. worry about the immigrants and terrorist that are raaapeing Swedish women..

"Collecting dust in the hangars"? They are flying daily training missions over my head as we speak.
Sweden lost 600 pilots during the Cold War due to training so heavily and with so few peacetime restrictions.
The Swedish pilotes is regarded some of the best in the world, by the pilots that has flown against them at red flag and other joint training missions.
People forget the HSMS Gotland, a cheap diesel electric submarine sunk the USS Ronald Reagan in an exercise in 2005.
Sweden doesn't f**k around.
During peacetime anda you lost 600 do you think isit okay? pilots i wiil rather die in combat rather tha flyi g yhebest figther in the world
@@romeololoandrade6116 Sure about that? 600 is a small number if you calculate thousands that wasn't the best fighters in the world. It also shows in the simulated combat Sweden have done between other fighters. Does the numbers 3 to 1 telling you something? 1 swedish pilot takes out 3 of the finest pilots singlehanded. Which one got the best chance to survive IF Sweden went out to war with their pilots? If that day comes. I am glad only 600 was killed during training, so they can protect the air. But nah, just get a pistol in your hand without any combattraining and you gladely walks out and gets the first shot fired between your head and calling yourself a hero.
Yeah, why not? You died in ehm...combat I guess, just because you had a gun in your hand. With zero training.
One more thing. The swedish pilots gladly dies for their country in combat as well. The only difference is, that most of them will survive and tell the tale. I wonder if the other pilots will be that lucky?
who talks is american they are convinced they are superior to everyone and they think europeans are useless as soldiers which is obviously not true. their so called "superiority" comes only from money.
@@imadequate3376 The German U24 of the conventional 206 diesel-electric class, sank the Enterprise on the same exercise.
For whoever's interested:
Draken = The dragon
Viggen = The tufted duck
Gripen = The gryphon
The Viggen comes also from the thunderstones that Thore used. In swedish they are called åskvigg.
Yeh and in sweden we dont say J. A.S. Whe just make word out of it jas.
i am russian.
1. i was not shocked.
2. i never listened in my life that Russia wants to invade Sweden or Finland.
3. better to live in cooperation, not enmity.
As a Swede I can tell you that no Swede really believes that either.
@@thomasijontichy5651 As a swede I can inform you that many swedes do think that Russia might attack us.
I would really like to have a Russian federation with real democracy and a nice attitude towards the EU so we would all be able to live in harmony with each other. In that way the economy would be far better in Russia.
In the past the Swedes actually tried to invade Russia. Ladoga, Poltawa.
the funny thing is that(some) Russians and Swedes have the same origin as it was the Vikings from the Russ tribe in southern Sweden that settled in Russia and eventually adopted a slavic language. Also Swede in finnish is Russ.!!!!!!!!!!
I met several Russians during my lifetime and most of them were very nice, very educated people.
Ridiculous title "shocked" Russians, there was nothing about it in the video how they where shocked. Also if you're aiming at wider public would be good to display as well metric units not only feets and pounds. No like, no subscribe from me
Ive seen the Viggen (20 tonnes) take off and land on regular roads in Sweden (developed in the late 70´s). The Griphin has less than half of the Viggens wieght but carry almost the same payload and it can do the same job and better. This plane is made for Swedens armed forces. We have one type of aircraft and it has to do lots of different tasks. It is not the best but it will be good enough for Swedens needs and if anyone wants to put it down on an aircraft carrier it will do that too ..
what tye fuck is the Griphin
Griphin is the enhlish translation of the word Gripen.
How did our Gripen "shock the Russians"?
I worked at RAF Valley a few years ago and the swedes came with a Gripon (i think). They used a fenced off section (with Hanger) on far side and were doing some kind of tests. I was very impressed with the plane and whole set up.
Brasil has made a deal with SAAB and started to improve and produce Gripens, in Brasil, for it's air forces. The new Gripen used by the FAB (Brasil air force) is top notch and the best fighter in the world in cost-efficiency-effectiveness rate.
Canada is reviewing a similar proposal from SAAB to produce the Gripen in Canada to replace it's aging fleet. Gripen also has a proven record of reliable operations in extreme cold environments.
Yeah it let me and the whole audience speechless, never seen a demonstration in the Swiss Alps like that, this is another succes of changes to Military Jets, just thinking about the F5-M mod's by Embraer and FAB, Abraço
Glad you like our tech. Enjoy!
Sweden 🇸🇪 (Gripen) and Brazil 🇧🇷 (Embraer) working together perfectly!
/Sweden
Not to be a smartass, but I'm pretty sure Bazil can't make any improvements to the Griffin (Swedish "Gripen" means "Griffin")
Sweden is theww country that takes other countries weapons and makes them better, like for example the German Leopard2, or the FN FNC that we transformed into the AK5, which is still the same weapon, but better at handeling cold for example...
Others don't improve on our tech...
There is no shame in outfitting a nation's air force with the Grippen. It gives nearly first rate performance on a nearly third rate budget. Indeed, even America would do well to have something as affordable to operate and rugged as the Grippen in large numbers to fill out the ranks, while a small number of cutting edge stealth jets form the tip of the spear.
And the plane will be used defensively, over friendly ground.
Yes I agree you can't completely cut out the F35 but for most work it is overkill at very high cost.
I can guarantee you that Russians were more shocked when the wodka prices went up.
I'm convinced that the world's primary aircraft designers are transported in time from 30-40 plus years in the future. Fighter design world wide is so advanced that when a model is moth-balled, they still look very current. Amazing.
It's the money, it's the money - "unlimited" tax-payer funds can give wings to the engineering imagination.
Add a zero to those years and you have the SR-71 Blackbird. If they still go for 60's retro style then. It's both.
The Swedish Grippen Aircraft is a fabulous aircraft. It very maneuverable, powerful and a wonderful defensive tool against a Russian attack. It’s low operating cost makes it a steal. I would hope Canada would see it as an attractive purchase to make as well.
They wouldn't have the balls!
America will tell them to buy the F-35 and they will, even though the U.S., itself, is buying more F-15 EX than F-35s.
Yes, indeed. Even Sweden's three closest, ostensibly friendly, neighbours - I do not even want to mention their names in this context - opted to buy the American aircraft, rather than Jas Gripen.
The only downside to the Grippen is it has zero stealth due to it's shape.
@@jameskelly8506 which the EWS compensates for to a fairly large degree.
@@hugomikaelsson4055 Yes I agree we suck. In fact the F15ex would have been a more cost effective option than F35.
The Gripen can use the same missiles as the F-15 it’s not limited to the meteor.
The F-15 doesn’t have an advantedge because of combat experience - the pilotes and airoforce does. The Gripen has a faster turn around time and can land and take off from small roads. It’s also simpler to maintain in combat conditions.
It basically comes down to if you want 100 Gripen that can operate from roads or 70-75 F-15s that can fly a little faster and will need dedicated runways for the same cost.
I wish my country would have chosen the Gripen or Eurofighter instead of the F35 money-pit...
They made the right choice.
@Destroy all Soy the F35 is junk. its hyped up to try and sell it to other countries.
In a war u need planes that r cheap to build and maintain to keep them flying.
F35 needs 30 hrs maint time for every hr it flies. thats no good in a major war. u need something that can be flying more than on the ground. and something cheap to replace when they get shot down and the F35 will get shot down a lot.
Isreal lost 1 of its F35 written off. Isreal claims it got hit by a bird and caused so much damage it will never fly again. Syria claim they used an old Soviet SU100 and got a near miss that caused the damage.
Just cause the US military uses a weapons system doesnt mean its any good. fact is most US weapons systems r junk and failed nearly every test unless the test was rigged.
F35 has failed every test including those that were rigged lol.
World fighter comp the F35's all got shot down at visual range and they didnt even see the other planes coming. But then again all the other US planes had the same thing happen to them only the F16 managed to survive long enough to get a shot off but still missed.
@Destroy all Soy That the USAF has cancelled much of their order and instead ordered the Latest F15 variant has a lot to say about how they feel. The F35 while impressive, is nothing like what was originally promised. It is slower CAN be seen, has less range which cannot be adequately lengthened without losing its limited stealth, has less armaments. Oh by the way as I sit here typing this I can hear an F15 taking off, and regularly see F35s.
LOLOLOLOL...you are hyping the gripen over the f 35. if you can easily see it you can easily kill it. doesn't matter how fast it can turn around if it's dead.
@Destroy all Soy
The most expensive stealth plane in history
Cost US taxpayers over a trillion dollars over 60 years of its life
Despite its advanced features, it has technical problems that hinder its overall performance
F-35 is a very complex system that is why there are so many glitches and errors and it is very difficult to debug because it is a very high tech aircraft and it needs a lot of money to maintain.
Unlike the Russians, the Americans rely a lot on stealth. However, radar technology is developing rapidly and invisibility is no longer a sure guarantee of superiority
Probably the best fighter for the money. It can do everything to half the price 😊
You will find the same or even better price /performance, when buying a russian plane.
@@shaggings well I think u have a couple points right here... but being maneuverable is something it really is?? Idk where u get your info, but maybe just from videos like these, but you should have noted the Delta wing design if u know anything about aviation 😃

You should check your facts. AMRAAM being superior to Meteor is an assertion not backed up by any solid data, even factoring in the D model. Both platforms have pros & cons in certain areas.
All i heard is that the Meteor is superior to the AMRAAM. The Ramjet on the meteor can burn for much longer and even activate in the final approach. So the missle can accelerate and has more energy and speed when it is close to the target. Thats why it has a 50 km no escape zone and is verry difficult to dodge in this range for every fighterjet.
In the end this stuff is all clasified and not possible to predict wich is better but the ramjet is a feature that has a lot of benefits compared to a solid rocket booster wich burns for a short amount of time and then shuts off.
@@timlolxP Thats still missing a bunch more info there..
needless to say the video author is a moron
The narrative sounds like it was taken from separate sources online and he contradicts himself on more than one occasion. And there's so much wrong with this statement:
"In terms of military power, the AMRAAM and Sidewinder missiles used by the Silent Eagle are superior to the Gripen's Meteor and Iris-T in every way."
1. This doesn't sound like an opinion of a professional at all. Modern smart weapons are all engineering compromises. Sounds like he's reading a RUclips comment from a known armchair general.
2. Why mention the Silent Eagle? That is a stealth variant of the F-15 that never got out of the prototype phase.
3. Who the hell spells AMRAAM like that?
@@JAnx01 It even worse as I poined out since hes comparing one thing against another that isn't even the same type of thing

@@seajaye9540 It doesn't exist, it's an artist concept. If they started building tomorrow, likely wouldn't see a flying prototype for 10 years and they aren't starting tomorrow. But yeah, Russia not too worried about a picture or a mock-up.

They had to change some details to fit Brazilian Air Force requirements. And we will receive many aircraft next year. It's not a cheap crap as the author paint, in fact, is a very good fighter and have a low-cost maintenance.
Not all countries has hundreds of billion dollars to spend with aircraft.
One more detail: The JSF program took so much time to develop that the planes were born out dated already. The F35 is way beneath F22, for example.

I dont think Russia is scared of Sweden, they could crush them like a bug
And this will shock the russians? 🤣🤣🤣 I piss my pants now….
The Gripen is now in talks in many countries for acquisition for their respective air forces.
Basically, the Gripen is destroying the export market they had for their fighter planes, as it's cheaper than current Russian planes and better than older models which comes with a similar price tag. And considering the Russian military is already pretty strapped on money, losing that income stream would be very devastating to them.
I am Russian and I am amazed, shocked by this cartoon plane. 🥶... and while the Russians are in shock and lay down their plans to conquer Sweden, the Somalians have already conquered this wonderful country.🤣🤌
Those spokes about Russian threats are quite ridiculous, avoiding the simple truth that NATO is the real aggressive actor in Europe policy. However, nice plane.
"the f18 hornet": *shows picture of f35*
Comparing apples with pears.. For starters the F-16, F-15 and the JAS 39E are all good planes. The latest block F-16 may be cheaper to buy than the 39E and have a slightly better radar and is able to carry a bit more payload but with close to twice the operating cost per flight hour i'd go with the Gripen, beeing able to operate twice as many aircraft of similar capability for the the same cost is a no brainer. Comparing the 39E to the F-15 well.. They can both carry the same weapons but the F-15 can bring a lot more of them. The F-15 cost more and operationg cost per flight hour (due to the two engines) will keep at least 3 JAS in the air for the same price. Aditionally the 39 can carry the RBS 15 which is arguably the best anti shipping missile in world in that size cathegory. Last but not the least! Availbilty, the 39C (the predecessor of the 39E) has been at a couple of Red Flag excercises and have performed every sceduled flight while F-16's and F-15's have been sitting on the ground becuase of maintence issues or even weather conditions. And the electronic warfare suit of the 39E is really good and so is it's datalink, enabling it to fire from targeting data from a bundle of diffrent sources without using any active systems of it's own. Enough said :)

One thing I love about Sweden is they are their own man so to speak. Practical, independent, and ready to sling a few stones at Goliath is need be. I don't think they could honestly beat Russia into submission but could make it a very costly if Russia or anyone else chose to take them on. And perhaps that is enough to keep the wolf away from their door.
Exactly, our idea under the cold war was never to "win" against soviet, but to make it cost so much for them that it aint worth it if they tried to invade us... Ofcourse soviet had a much bigger airforce and army, but they can't throw all their recourses on us, if so they would leave their backdoor open for everyone else to attack them...
Our idea was that when soviet fleet convoys of invasionforces came over the baltic sea, our AJ 37 Viggen would go out and meet them at 10 meters over the sea flying att mach 1+ and just load antiship missiles on them... If they made it to Swedish waters, our coast artillery that was built deep into the the bedrock safe from nuclear bombs would open fire and sink the rest...
The Russian Federation has no designs on Sweden. Sweden is neutral and non-aligned.They are a valued energy customer of the RF.
Sweden has my respect - their engineering by itself is a wonder - as an owner of 2 Saab 9-5 Aeros, one of which was involved in a 3 vehicle accident where myself, my wife and children survived without a bruise or scratch (I was not at fault, btw). Those fighters are serious pieces of kit and I am not surprised that they are seen as a real threat by opponents.

4:54 Gripen Maritime? It's a Dassault Rafale M 🤣
Why would Sweden build an Aircraft Carrier based fighter while they dont have an Aircraft Carrier?
🤣🤣🤣
Swedish fighters have always had a distinctive and attractive appearance. But there is a good reason. With the tail wings, almost always seen at the rear of any plane, first in line before the main wings, it makes for very good common sense. When the plane is slowing, if the pilot starts to approach stall speed, the smaller wings by the jet intake will lose lift and the nose of the plane will start to dip. But the larger wings still have enough lift under the wings because of their greater lift capacity to maintain flight characteristics and warn the pilot to increase speed.
Burt Rutan has extolled the great advantage of the canard aircraft in his designs Moving the horizontal stabilizer (and elevator) forward of the main wing makes that a surface generating lift upward to control pitch, whilst the tail-mounted horizontal stabilizer provides down force for pitch control. perhaps that's part of the reason we think the Piaggio (Ferrari) Avanti looks so cool sitting on the ramp as we're working in the hangar nearby. SAAB and the Flygvapnet have always stressed rapid turnaround and maintenance, besides operation from dispersed locations, big runways and bases being such attractive targets.
Thank you for excellent reporting and a real human narrating. Very good stuff! Enlightening to me, because I wasn't familiar with the Swedish compliment of aircraft. All good wishes!
Given its small size the quality of military equipment that Sweden has managed to develop is amazing! (Draken, Vigen, and Grippen now, but bofors guns in ww2). Really though the Grippen would have made a great replacement for the RAF's Jaguars if they'd wanted to stay a multi type airforce. I don't really think the F-15E is the equivalent to the Grippen, I'm also not sure you can argue AMRAAM and Sidewinder are superior to Meteor and IRST

A single Air Force F-35A costs a whopping $148 million.

Although the Swedish government forbade any air to ground engagements, we fought alongside the US (on behalf of the UN), and I don't understand why it wouldn't count as "seeing action". Also, the narrator completely forgets that Sweden is located in a region which is highly contested by the Russians, and has been engaged in continuous skirmishes (in lack of a better word), ever since the cold war started, where fighters have to be scrambled on regular basis.

Sweden was the most shocked because no plane like this exists.
As an actual Swede I concur but our Gryphon fighters are real and rather cool.
You know about the US "skunkworks" i guess, the swedes have "mooseworks"?
@@dikkie1000 With better security since their existence are mere speculation. 😃
Actually the early JAS-39 crashes were not the fault of the fly-by-wire system but cause by air vortexes that hampered the canards.
It was fixed by adding tiny wings to the fuselage. The same kind of solution can be seen on Eurofighter too.
To shock Russia 🇷🇺 how ??????
The Gripen is a good fighter and very good value for money.
Sweeden Airforce 70 Gripens , 23 training version and 46 Saab 105 ....Russians must be freaking out
That's about the amount Russia will have after their "special operation" in Ukraine is over.🤕
Gripen is well suited to defend a small country ! it can start and land on any highway and be stored in any barn . The force is not 1 plane against another but a combination of many planes , missiles ect Low cost of flying hours is also important then your pilots can have more training as the budget is always the limmitating factor
this will not shock our neighbours. btw, i am swedish. happy with our neighbour.
The unmanned jet should be able to out manuver a manned jet or evade a missile potentially if the chassis can handle it
Chassis ?
@@coxsen999 he meant unibody... lol.
Airframe*
Like the Gripen can use the same missiles as the F-15 and as I live in Sweden I'm happy with it aslong as it can defend the country and not to be too expensive.
The Meteor and ASRAAM, are in every a match for AIM 120C AMRAAM and AIM9X Sidewinder.
A very proud Swedish countryman!!!
Not emphasized is the Gripen has a very quick deployment time. From first alert to combat air speed is very short also it can make use of very short and narrow landing strips. Quick maintenance turn around with smaller crews is another feature. Very low cost of operation is also of great importance to poorer nations. Most deployment missions are not intended for toe to toe combat and for those rare mortal combat roles, American made missiles work as well on a Gripen as the more powerful warplanes.
Just love how they called the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter an an Fa -18 Hornet... The Grifphen E looks Very impressive. I like how that it's low cost and they can arm that fighter with just about any artillery you put into it despite it's not stealthy, gives Fighters like the F-15 a run for its money and is a top notch Fighter. I think that is one fighter that our military's can desperately use specifically at a time like now, Especially when were having the problem with Russia invading Ukraine and we all could very possibly end up going to war.....
It may sound silly, but the SAAB looks so much more beautiful than any other modern jetfighter, even better than the "fat duck" F-35. As a sailor I know that a beautiful looking yacht is almost always also the best performer in its class on the water. The SAAB formula with one engine, one tailfin and lift-centre near weight centre, plus a proportional looking cool canard that also can act as a airbrake, just looks... so right to my sailors eye.
Mans know what he's talking bout
Swedish is a small Country THEY ARE VERY PATRIOT country BUT DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE THEY ARE VERY INTELLEGENT PEOPLE
So the Saab could not 'see' US stealth fighter but the US stealth fighter could also be blinded by Saab's jamming system? If it really works, than they are 'equal'
The F-35's design at least partially revolves around being a "stand-off" fighter that works by not NEEDING to enter visual range and engage in dogfights. Which definitely puts a bit of a damper on it if jamming ends up forcing it into these ranges...
The SAAB Viggen was the only fighter jet that repeatedly got a confirmed missile lock on the formidable SR-71. Not only once but repeatedly. So, yes, SAAB could see the US stealth attempts.
@@bfelten1 How is sr71 stealthy? I was fast, and they flew exactly the same route every time when they passed sweden, that's why our viggen could lock on. But had nothing to do with stealth or radars.
@@1975Per Ah yes, so the SR-71 was not about stealth. Got it. So, every other fighter plane got a confirmed (by the USAF) radar lock on it? Right. So please tell us about all those other planes...
You might want to correct your commentary. When you said they were looking at the F-18 you were showing a video of the F-35 lightning 5th generation stealth jet. 🙄
They even had a Hawker Hunter in there😁
I think the Swedish Air fighter-attack Air craft is very impressive, and a great step toward the success of the FREEDOMS THAT WE WON, AND WE ALL THAT ARE GOOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU SWEDISH HELPED US ALL GET, AND KEEP. MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP BOND LAST FOREVER AND UNBROKEN.
Are you joking? Sweden remained neutral in WWI and WWII and in was leaning more onto being friendly with Germany in both wars. Fact is much of the Nazi armored forces were manufactured using Swedish steel and wheel bearings. Sweden was neutral during the Cold War too. They have also sold artillery pieces to India which India uses to shell Pakistan villages with. So much for "support freedoms".
Also, understand this. No freedom can be won from war. Battles can be won but the only freedom is won by the people who believe in themselves, their system and their rights. And you can win these things *without war* . Ceaucescu the dictator of Romania was laughed out of power by his own people in 1989 even though he had held the country in terror for decades. Salazar the dictator of Portugal was simply abandoned by the Portuguese in 1974. He didn't bother to put up a fight because he knew nobody (not even the army) believed in him anymore.
You can also win a war but not get freedom.
No army in the world can make people in a occupied country give up their will for freedom.
About sweden stand in ww2. Whe where pind down between to forces mutch bigher than ourselfs, Russia and Germany. Both where way ahead of us When it Come to military equipment beqause a politicali desition in 1921 stated that ther would be no more wars an so they scrapped almost the entire swedish armed forses. That ment tath when the war broke out. whe had absolutly no chans of defending ourselfs. It took until 1947 until the rebuild was compeleted. That made it a nesesity to make compromises towards the major coutrys around us. But the standings was shifting throughout the war. Always with a hidden leaning towards the Western allians. Especialy When it came tonintelligense gathering. A lot of wht we piked up regarding German radi traffic and other medias bery swiftly ended up in either London or Washington. So it's was not a state of beeing pro German, but a calculated game trying tio keep us out of the war.
I'm a kiwi so I definitely aren't biased. Quality against quantity. Experienced and trained pilots, and a reserve pool of pilots and equipment regardless of cost will win any conflict. Sure in peacetime money talks but when it comes down to total war it all depends on availability of resources and the will to carry through. Obviously Russia and America does have a point or two in their favour. So on that note I would hope that our country would consider buying a couple of either aircraft. I like the Swedish fighter and the F15 and shocking the Mig 29... to replace the ones that we got rid of a while back. The Gripen is an aircraft that the swedish has worked on to bring it to this stage and I think it is none to soon as what is escalating over the border. They need to be ready though and bring them out of the shelters and give their pilots air time.
Is Sweden a Nato Signatory? If so would Nato countries come to their aid? PS. very fond of the Raptor too.
This proves that EXPENSIVE is not always better, most times we buy the so called "Famous Brand" for SHOW OFF.
Perhaps the analogy of WW2 German tank superiority in Tigers and Panthers expensive and technical production was overcome by inferior T34 and Sherman's in huge numbers is perhaps a lesson in history nations should not ignore.
And my country Singapore probably want to continue to snuggle up with the US by buying F 35s. All our fighter jets are from the US. Only our subs are from Sweden.
@@shingwhyelaw1614 Stealth is everything. All three variants of the F-35 have stealth technology. What that means in simple terms is that they can't be tracked or targeted by enemy radar. In addition, the heat from their engines is masked to foil heat-seeking missiles. If you can't see it, you can't shoot it down. Your government is smart.......the F-35 is the most survivable fighter in the world.
I don't think the t34 was inferior....
Maybe to the tiger
So, from the title , where is the new jet ? wich one was it in the vidéo ? :)
3:51 "the aerodynamic focus"-that's not an engineering term. Is this a bad translation from an original drafted in another language? I think the intended phrase was "aerodynamic center," but possibly "center of lift" (two different terms).
Center of gravity.
@@x-man5056 Maybe, but CG is not dependent in any way on aerodynamic properties, so it seems a lot more likely that "aerodynamic focus" was intended to convey something more like the aerodynamic center or center of lift. You can completely alter an object's aerodynamic properties while keeping its CG in the same place.
@@HolySoliDeoGloria true but placement of external stores and size and placement flight control surfaces are critically linked to center of gravity.
Aerodynamics doesn't effect center of gravity* but but CG impacts aero in a big way.
*The very placement of the wing itself is both dependent on desired CG and also determinitive of it at the same time. Not so obvious on a delta wing like Vulcan.
This very issue must have been a nightmare of brain storming when they built the F-111 with swing wings and moving wing store pylons that stayed parallel to direction of flight when they did it. Then when bombs go CG change. To make it worse, F-111 had a fwd weapons bay too. Sorry, I got out in the weeds on this.
@@x-man5056 That's OK, thanks! I agree with everything you wrote. My undergrad degree is in aerospace engineering and I am a Navy pilot. It still seems odd that "aerodynamic focus" would refer to CG.

Thank´s for s haring my opinion.
I'm pretty positively sure, that nothing the Swedes are bringing up will shock the Russians in any way... Especially nothing aeronautical related!
Russia build fantastic fighters. For exhibitions.
What do I think about what? Is it the 4th./5th. generation fighter that you showed? Or would it be the 6th generation fighter shown in the promo? Didn't actually see it in the video. Or did we?
Well apparently this technology shocked the Russians back in the early to mid 90s

The plane at 1:02 is NOT the F-18 hornet, that is the F-35.
Lost all cred at that time stamp.
Yes, I noticed that MASSIVE BLUNDER, too! But I believe that is an F-22 Raptor, not an F-35. Also, at 6:25 appear to be F-35s, not the Swedish aircraft. Many video shots intermix double-tail and sigle-tail aircraft, many of USA manufacture!
BS video??
I think Canada should get a few of these.
Like the $5000/- operation cost compared to the $7000/- per flight of the F 16 which my country has a great number off. I wonder why my country's Singapore Air force didn't want to purchase the SAAB Gripen? Probably to snuggle up with the US?
Don't know where you got your info but the F-16 is one of the cheapest Air Craft to maintain. I would know I served in the U.S. Air Force. Also US Air Craft manufacturer's send their best lobbyists to a potential foreign buyer and pretty much takes a couple of your countries representatives and buys them dinner at a 5-star restaurant and maybe a envelope with American Dinero to pay for their votes buy American Fighters or other Military Equipment. Before you say that is wrong let me just tell you every country who sells military hardware around the world are also doing the same thing. We just pay a little more and also its beneficial to be allies with the US.
Because the SAAB Gripen isn't gen 5 with stealth technology. Singapore is smarter than that. Feb 10, 2020 Singapore last year selected the F-35 to replace its fleet of Lockheed Martin F-16C/D jets starting in 2030. And in early January 2020, the U.S. State Department cleared Singapore's request for 12 F-35Bs, with four confirmed and an option for eight more.
To be fair, if you compare the JAS Gripen to F15s, you really need to compare two Gripens to one F15 (or three to two, whatever the ratio of operating costs is). That's the reality of lower costs per hour. Russia subdued technologically superior Nazi Germany with plain numbers. Better tech only goes so far.
This is the very reason imo that the pentagon went with more F15s. There comes a point when it becomes more about numbers than great tech!
@@metatechnologist Of course that is the reason. NATO has enough Stealth, fifth gen capacity already to establish air superiority in any regional conflict. Once you have that you can pretty much fly a Cessna with a bomb anywhere, you really just need to bring the munition to the target. I was a bit surprised by this analysis, but I am assuming, that the fact that the host is a former F15 pilot skewed the arguments somewhat in favor of "always the best plane for any job". But even the best plane, or particularly the best plane, is useless in prolonged conflict when you are running out of resources. Just ask the Nazi Luftwaffe: they had the first fighter jets, but had to pull them to the runways with cows, and even ground them, because they were running out of fuel.
Typically aircraft functioning as aggressor aircraft in western air exercises are simulating Russian aircraft and as such are not employing western tactics or operating their aircraft and systems to their operational capabilities. They are tying to emulate Russian tactics and systems capabilities. So the fact that the F-15s suffered simulated kills cannot be used to derive any conclusions as to its capabilities versus the Saab. It is primarily a validation of the tactics, systems and doctrines employed against the aggressor forces.
Bullshit. F15 tried to win but lost. Just like when Gripen was the aggressor at Red Flag and went upp against F16. The result was 5-0 5-0 5-1 in favour of Gripen after 3 rounds.
ím from sweden and just as i watch this a jas cripen flew over my house
10:35 "Sidewinder missiles are superior to the Meteor in every way" the Meteor is the current state of the art in terms of beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile, having the longest range and largest no escape zone of any air-to-air missile in service today. While the Sidewinder is a short-range one. So at least in terms of range, you can't say it is superior "in every way" if you simply look at the facts.

Not to mention the Meteor and other such missiles are swedish produced since Sweden is a world leading missile and rocket developer.

Blimey, you're higher than the Gripen. Thanks for the waste of time.
Gripen E is a new plane...
An ideal aircraft for Ukraine's present problem with Russia; can take off/land on hardly prepared runways, even rural locations, relatively low cost purchase and maintenance cost, great performance and upgrades with local back-up potential. If adapted for full NATO missile intergration it may well beat the F-16; depends on version and price tag.
Lots of US patriots commenting....
Being Swedish I would like to You pronounce the name of the plane. Trying using home brewed phonetics it sounds like Griipen with a long i and a long p. A Grip is an old name for an eagle family member.
The work on Gripen started during the 1980:ies.....
The US has been taking action in a lot of fights since WW2. The Swedish military intention is different, stay away from fights, just trying our best to show we can produce spears....
By the way, Swedish technology "sank" a US battleship during an exercise not so long ago. US asked how the hell the Swedish sub did it..... They borrowed or bought such a sub, to learn.... and copy.
Sweden don't mass produce fighters or subs, no need for it, but be aware of Swedish technology!

New Swedish fighter jet shocked russians: that's because they have a good sense of humour :-)
I suspect that stealth in fighters will be less important in the future because of the progress in drone technology. Drones that accompany a fighter can themselves be stealthy and fly in advance of their larger companion. Perhaps they could gather intelligence and relay it back to their control platform, the fighter. Or they can be armed with missiles that could be used to attack radar bases that would pose a threat to the less stealthy fighter. I'd guess distributing stealth among the smaller drones would be easier to do than engineering an entire fighter to contain all missiles, guns and so forth internally. If I'm right, then we can expect future generations of fighters to devote less tech to stealth, which seems counterintuitive at first; but expect these generations to be released together with stealthy drones.
I wonder if the next great fighter will be unmanned. At some point it will come to that.
@@charles97th Most current & new fighter jets were designed in the 1990s... Maybe 2000s.
