  1. รัฐบาลสวีเดนเข้าใจผมผมออกแล้วอย่าเพิ่งเข้ารอรับ 2 ต่อก่อน

  2. Yooo there’s An anime called girly Air Force (title is slightly misleading) it’s about jets from all over fighting these like aliens jets (the action is amazing) gripen is actually one of the main characters, y’all should really give it a watch, starts kinda slow but progresses nicely pls watch…

  3. Beautiful jet, I am hoping our Canadian government comes to their senses and chooses this over the F-35 or F-18 Super hornets even if they are upgraded. New AESA radar, advanced electronic warfare suite, integrated networking and real time data fusion, fast and maneuverable with NATO weapons compatibility, much lower operating costs and reliable in frigid temperatures the Gripen E really hits all the check boxes.

  4. Putting journalists and politicians in fighter jet aircraft is a waste of jet fuel, electrons, metals and expensive composite materials.

  5. サーブ社のテストパイロットの映像ですね。おはようございます。軍事研究家のペイソンコリンズです。スウェーデンはパイロットの数が多いのでしょうか?サーブ社は外国人が多いのでしょうか?よくアカウントが不正侵入されたり削除されます。仕事を探しています。よろしくお願いします。

  6. They didn’t manufacture most components, ejection seat BAE, engine GE, radar Raytheon, so they only manufacture the airframe and integrate the components. Nothing special, any aircraft company can manufacture airframe. So the missile and bombs also from another country.

  7. Beautiful / handsome and sexy jet! On front it is not so, but from sides! I mean, is there any jet which is beautiful / handsome / sexy etc.!, on all sides = angles!?!? : )

  8. Indeed We have one of the best Jets on the planet , hopefully we Brazilians expect to use to Patrol our Territory just to make sure our soverignit is not compromise and Peace speaks Louder in South America forever !🇧🇷

  9. The most underestimated multipurpose fighter jet out there. It should have way more success in export, unfortunately politics and desinformation stands in the way.

  10. When India was buying fighter jets, out of 6 competitors, the Saab Gripen came in second. In my humble but enthusiastic opinion, one of the best fighters in the world today………AND the least expensive among the others (competitors)
