    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.

      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 🤷‍♂

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      @norsenomad 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Correct, Cta2006. That "bump" on the engine cowling, between the two vertical stabilizers, is the cover of The F-35A Drag Chute System, developed on request from the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF), which also had the same/similar system developed for the Norwegian F-16 jets and in RNoAF operation since 1980 (first F-35 received in 2017 and all F-16s were phased out in 2020, of which 32 were sold to Romania and 22 donated to Ukraine). They will stabilize and shorten the distance on runway on landing, to be used for for short and icy runways (Norway's "Kortbanenenett", aka Short Runway Network, are non-standard 800 metre short runways for small airfields built in rural areas during the 1970s, in addition to the standard length runways of the major airports. Northernmost airfield on mainland Norway is at 71th parallel North, and the northernmost airfield on Svalbard is at 79 degrees north, so ice is common.
      If interested, you can find a couple of videos on the Lockheed Martin TH-cam account which demonstrates how it works (search for "Lockheed Martin F-35 Drag Chute System" on TH-cam). In the Lockheed Martin videos you can see the chute exits, after the cover is lifted vertically by a hydraulic system, slows down and stabilizes the aircraft. There are also a few videos of the RNoAF F-16 deploying its drag chute, which is mounted at the lower rear end of the F-16 vertical stabilizer.
      It is said that also Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium (and most likely Finland) will get the Drag Chute System, too. This is quite a useful F-35 option in the high-latitude region (Norway, Finland).

      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.

The Gripen, or JAS-39 Gripen, is, as the name suggests, designed for "J" (Jakt, i.e. Air Superiority), "A" (Attack, as in Ground Attack), and "S" (Spaning, i.e. Reconnaissance). As I wrote above, they do have overlapping roles, but I wouldn't say they fill the same roles.

      I think it's good to have a few different platforms, complementing each other.

    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.

      Harrier had its first flight in 1967, or twelve years later. But sure, the Swedes probably just used a time machine for their inspiration.

    Did you notice the "cars" in this video? Gripens are actually able to transform into just about anything. Could be a car, a flying grill, an outhouse etc. Swedish stealth technology.
