Road Landing & 9G Turns - Insane Swedish Gripen Fighter Maneuvers

True, but never with such a capable modern aircraft. The predecessors were good, but not nearly as good.

No kill switch. Worth it for that alone

Soooo sweden is basically an unsinkable aircraft carrier

@@robinvarley7026i doubt this kill switch thing… i mean.. electronics is not sorcery.. it can be discovered… and if it ever was discovered it would kill the entire US defense export industry in one go… it’s just not something anyone would do. The truth is that when u sell military tech it has a lifetime of maybe 20 yrs until it’s obsolete anyways… and a country don’t sell tech to countries where they would foresee them being an adversary in this time. So a kill switch only has downsides… i guess the one way it would have use is if the tech is captured by a foreign adversary. Like the taliban… but since they were flying around in black hawks not much proof of a kill switch.
Also.. having them captured it’s more the tech inside the hardware that u do not want them to have,,, not so much the plane itself.

I hear Ya. Respect! 15 minutes is FAST work even at todays standards my friend. ALOT evolving has happened since the 70's and 80's. Today: It's the same perfection: But even faster. I like to see the best ground crews in the world go up against the nordic crews in -40 degrees -on artic ice roads. ALL of this gear has been THUROALLY TESTED to ensure proper fuction in extrme climates. Not just one run -but over and over again. And the boys and girls keeping it all running glitch free too.

@@MrJonken70 When it came to the time for a clarification, the gasoline-powered fuel pump was the limiting factor. We refueled between 2000 to 4000 liters depending on the number of drop tanks (0-4) under the plane. We managed everything else while the pump was running.

After landing, a modern F-16 needs eons of time just to allow the pilot to leave the cockpit.

Not only 9G, but +9G immediately over to -1G. Search out a YT video where a US F16 pilot interviews the SAAB test/demo pilot who did the flying here. They are commenting on this exact video here.
Well worth a view if you're interested I'n comments from actual pilots rather than the usual participants of the p*ss*ng contests on RUclips warplanes videos.

日本ではどうなんだろう？
訓練してもおかしく無い状況だと思うのですが
出来ない理由があるのだろうか。

比較的大型の戦闘機ばかりで高速道路も航空機の着陸に耐えられるように作ってあるのか不明だから期待できなそう

スウェーデンは周りからの防衛のために、道路やトンネルすらも考えて作られてる。（路面や格納庫など）日本で同じことを･･･てのは一朝一夕にはいかないだろうし、なんせ地元や反日の反発があるので簡単にはいかないだろう。でも、ちょっと考えてみる必要はあるだろうねぇ。

Briliant, thanks GorillaguerilaSE

Hahahaha! Thank you for this Mr @gorillaguerillaDK:-)

Many European countries could use the Gripen as well. It's (relatively) affordable but still very capable. Could be paired with a smaller fleet of 5th-gen fighters.

Sweden has made our own aircraft sinne the 1920s. Alone...

tooooo late, saab is doing business already with embraer, saw it when i was in araraquara in brazil

You should get started now since you never know who in the south is gonna annex you soon.

...not if the roads have all been cratered as part of the opening sequence of battle by your enemy, and even if you did land, you have no fuel and ammo, because that got hit too, even if you did manage to land somewhere supported and not just a random piece of pavement. Since your enemy knew this was your strategy your transportation network is now destroyed too, so you can't get fuel and ammo from anywhere to anywhere. This is a colossally dumb idea. Within minutes of landing a drone will find and target you, your fuel, your ammo and any air-defense asset you happened to spread out all over the place along with your entire airforce. SMH. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Put it all in a few big airports and surround those with all the IAD assets you can muster. Put everything but the pavement underground and fight on day after day fully fueled, fully armed, and properly manned.

​@@roijoi6963Yeah cause you will land at the front within drone range... Yeah there are no storage carved in the bedrock all around the place so you dont have to move stuff far during war... Yeah they thought of nothing...

@@roijoi6963 You you really think they have no mobile air defence assets around these tactical landing areas? Do you really think an enemy could crater and destroy thousands of kilometres of roadway? Do you not realise at these tactical highway sites they have damn near nuke proof shelters and hangers hidden in the forests? My guess is you just don't think.

@@guseks8413 There's no such thing as "Drone Range", especially in Europe.
If the storage is as safe & secure as you say the intelligent thing to do would be to build a proper airport on the site WITH a proper runway, because a 30' wide road is going to be super silly easy to crater with almost anything, including drones. If the site is known, or can become known fairly easy, you're going to need a lot more than some caves for storage. You need an entire underground maintenance, repair, fueling and rearming area. You also need very well protected quarters for your pilots so they don't get whacked by the first deep penetration thrown at them. Again, think a US aircraft carrier buried deep underground.
The one thing I can absolutely guarantee you is every road with any potential to act as a runway will be destroyed almost immediately, which means you also can't move anything anywhere unless it's tracked and competent and swift off-road. This is why, for example, there is the MLRS M270 and the mostly on-road HIMARS.
Now tell me again how hard they thought about this stupid and ill-considered publicity stunt, because nobody who thinks about this is going to endorse this folly. Just pick a nice flat spot where you can dig as deep as you like - or even a place you can dig a city under a big lake and get busy.
BTW, every fighter in the World, with few exceptions, can pull 9Gs.

@@roijoi6963 Only dumb part is you believing every piece of road will be destroyed, airfields will get destroyed, hence why they road base system can use almost any road as a temporary air base.

Gripen is cheaper. The E version is very modern with radars on wingtips. It's basically a whole new plane in same body as previous models. The negative is that it has F-18 engines and other american made components so it will still depend on USA.

@@arteljus983 Great point. It’s very familiar to the Rolls Royce Nene engine in the Mig-15. It can be copied, improved and adapted. This is the world we live in. Everyone is copying everyone. Sad but true

What about stealthy aspects? Does it have that?

@ E version use electronic warfare/radar jamming instead. Don't know if it's better than stealth or not but one swedish pilot said stealth is not needed with those systems. If true then those new expensive stealth planes are way overpriced. People forget that radars also adapts and evolve. It's always a cat and mouse game. I think the future will be with drones and days of manned fighters vill be over in next few decades.

Gripen A-D are using RM12, which if a Heavily modified (50%) derivate of GE-404.
Gripen E/F uses RM16, which is a modified GE-414 , mainly to work in a single engine configuration..
The GE-414 however, was largely based on technology developed for the RM12,
& therefore contains a substantial amount of Swedish IP..
Further, Sweden actually decided to acquire a full licence for the GE-414,
just as it once did with the GE-404.. So legally,
it might be quite tricky to hinder Sweden from setting up their own local production line,
if they choose to do so..

From -3 to 8G in seconds....

@@larka742 it's even worse it's +4 to -3 to +8g in a few seconds

Vero ma i piloti portano apposta le tute anti-G, praticamente non è per tutti ma piloti addestrati fanno anche di peggio, li avete mai visti i Blue Angels!?, ecco quelli volano allo stesso modo ma senza Anti-G sono il top del top.

@@sonotornato9003 But their airframes are not built for 9G. F/A-18C/D/E/F has a 7.5G limit. Gripens G limit is secret but probably a lot higher than the pilot can survive... SAAB always build things with a LOT of safety margin.

9G, but at what KIAS?

It is probably the best at its price point, but it has many shortcomings, like limited range and stealth. Then again, operating today in Ukraine, this platform would have been much better than an F-16, given its robustness.

The Dragon was the first planet that did the cobra manouver.

From Sweden: We welcome you, and trust you will continue to be our long term allies. Welcome Canada!

@@quietcanadian5132 I love this dispersed concept. Modern warfare requires much more rapid mobility

@ cheaper to operate, quick to refuel and reload. I would guess it’s much cheaper to purchase than an F35…

@ Thanks. It really is a beautiful aircraft!

They're still vulnerable to cheap FPV drone attacks while grounded. They might want to do something about that. Jammers don't work against fiber optic drones either.

@@SpirallingOut Planes don't land 10km from the front where FPV drones are.

@@camiller1988 ..its down to 4-5 mins now, with rearming less than 10 minuits .. but this is ofc with a trained crew

@@SpirallingOut hardly a real problem optic drone cables r just max a few km, to get from the front line to say 5km back take around 18 seconds, 10km 36 seconds at normal crusing speed, at max speed 7.2 & 14.4 seeconds .. u get the point thers no real reason refule at the frontline, besides if that would be the case thers ways to protect against that anyways, u dont drive a fuling truck to the front line unprotected (unless ur russian that is)

@@andersnilsson973 No, its actually André Brännström.

@petritast3784 , are you out of your mind? do you have any brain impairment? the only thing missing from your comment is the inclusion of the GPS coordinates of every landing location depicted in the video

You might want to put that into perspective! You've seen the American and French pilots on the aircraft carriers at night and in all weathers, with no visibility and waves up to deck level!!!!

@ Je parle de la Suisse Monsieur donc.... porte avions !!!!

Avec les Suisses qui lèchent le c*l de tout le monde et l'achat des F-35, on peut s'attendre à tout! Vous avez très bien compris le sens de mon propos et le ridicule de votre commentaire niaiseux ne pouvait que me faire réagir!

This is true. However, the ultimate discriminator is how the aircraft will perform in today’s - and tomorrow’s - battlefield. Having an aircraft that can land on and take off from a back road in the boondocks and can be turned around and serviced by conscripts is great. But how will it hold up against a peer opponent’s air defenses, aerial and ground based? How well will it perform its missions? As far as I know, no Gripen has as yet been tested on that score, so let’s stay our judgement here.

@@frankteunissen6118Apart from international exercises like Red Flag and Crusex it did take part in Unified Protector and flew over Libya. Currently Gripen is used in NATOs air policing in Poland and as a proctector of deliveries to Ukraine.

@@frankteunissen6118
It’s not like the F35 has been battle tested against a peer strength opponent either.
By the way, the F35 can land on roads as well, it just require a much longer stretch of suitable road, unless it’s the F35B as it has STOVL capability, but it’s also around 30% more expensive than the F35A.
The benefit of the Gripen, aside from its STOL capabilities, however is that it’s much faster to rearm and it requires a smaller crew to keep it operational, it cost less to keep operational, it’s faster, more dexterous, and have longer range.
But here’s the real kicker - the two aircrafts compliments each other amazingly well!
The newest version of the Gripen might only be a "4.9 generation fighter", but what it lacks from being considered a 5 generation fighter like the F35, it makes up for on other parameters, and STOL is only one of them,
The new Nordic Division responsible for implementing and further developing the NAPC are currently busy making sure the two types of aircraft will become even better at supporting each other in the future…

@@Machines.In.Action
"Any" might be a bit of an overstatement, but anyone who fail to see the benefit of having a STOL multi role fighter seriously need their heads examined.
The Gripen is awesome, especially the new version with its network capabilities…

Gripen E has exceptional electronics and radar, so it's hard to see how it would be worse than any so called "fifth generation" American planes at a substantially lower buying and operational cost 🤷‍♂️

I wonder how many ours it will take for SAAB to switch to a none American engine

@@andersmalmgren6528 Probably will never happen. Gripen also have other american components so it will never be 100% Swedish.

@@arteljus983 Doesn't need to be 100% Swedish, just replace all the parts that are from the US. Stuff can be found elsewhere but might or might not be bit harder to do.

@zerocool6452 It's already very difficult for Sweden to develope their own fighter. It takes time and those planes are just getting more and more complicated. It could be the last "Swedish" fighter plane. SAAB (the manufcturer) is looking into it on order from the government. Don't know if they have made any decisions yet but it would be bad for Sweden to loose the availability to produce their own fighter jets because if so they will never do that again. Alternative is to join other EU countries in developement of their own next gen fighter jet (FCAS).

That flying at the end!!!!! Wow

Then you will lose.

Engine is American. Veto.
Learn your place, Canada.
p.s. You're free to buy Frenchie shit.

@@ElectroAtletico And, what? That engine could might as well been produced in Sweden. Just that USA made it cheaper. Once in a time, over 80 days ago,

@@ElectroAtletico You really think you make yourself look good by puffing up about the ''o so great'' murica? Try again, trump circus 🤡

The E version is not the same plane. It's a new plane with new cocpit, radars and engine. They just reused the old body with smll changes to be cost effective.

Yet, they will lose.

Better off with the F-series from the Americans. Don't buy into the Gripen hype, a 4.5 gen at best.

@@atfelle Alot of dollar for alot of maintnance and tarmac time. Stealth is nice ; but so is accual real airtime at war. The Gripen has some pretty nasty electronic gadgets too.

@@MrJonken70 The reasoning for steering away from the F-series is entirely political, set politics aside and make the right decision.
Several key parts for the motor on Gripen comes from the U.S.
F-series spanks Gripen, not remotely close.

@@atfelle It's easy to let Your patriotism guide Your directon/decision. The right decision is ALWAYS what works best for the operator/user USING IT. Even with politics put aside here: The JAS Gripen is the better choice over the F35 in almost every aspect. Answer me this: Besides the stealth feature in the F35: In exactly what area does it outperform the JAS Gripen? Answer: It doesn't. Shouldn't You instead be asking Yourself; why a 4.5 gen ('at best' to use Your own words) fighter outperforms the 5 gen fighter You so desperatly trying highlite here?

​@@atfellelmao spanks? The F16 and F15 both get their arses kicked in red flag and in every competition ever. The US is just bribing other countries to get the F16. The Gripen E also ain't a 4.5 but a 4.9 just doesn't have stealth made body or coating. Everything else is easily 5th and some 6th gen. For example the Gripen E is way easier to upgrade the weapons since the systems for the weapons ain't connectes to the other systems.

Canada is not buying the Saab - it is still an open decision.

My screen went from colour to greyscale.

This is why pilots are the absolute best lovers,trust me!

Felicidades! Habeis elegido bien.

The Rockford turn was something that Viggen could do, not Gripen.
Since the days of SAAB J-35 Draken swedes sandbagged the true performance of their jets. They were always built for both low-level i.e.attacking as well as fighter-interceptor roles. At least in Finland the Airforce was well aware of Draken's capabilities at low-level flying 🇫🇮🇸🇪💪

@petritast3784 Thanks for the clarification, I had them mixed up

That's what I thought, besides I love Rockford Files 😃
P.S. Google "Viggen Färila" for some sound...

Not to mention operational range...

Orange man called all countries a s s kissers and laughed at them how they were begging him to remove triffs. It's all on video. His on and off and on and pause and unpause show that US can't be trusted anymore that's why all conutries should cancel their F-35 orders and other militry equipement from US and look for alternatives.

And in the winter can Canada turn every lake of a decent size into a Gripen runway.
The options are endless with Gripen, but extremely limited with the F-35.

of course, everything is the fault of the u.s., how original 🙄 if you're going to make accusations you could at least cite factual sources instead of fictional movies...we're tired of having ungrateful allies anyway, go to russians, no one cares 😅

今ではF-35Bの配備割合増やすしか…

島国の自国防衛になんでドッグファイト特化機よｗ
F-35はステルス機、攻めて来た軍艦や戦闘機のFCレーダーにロックオンされる前に仕留めるのが主目的、現代のミサイルの最大旋回加速度は大型SAMでも10GオーバーだしAAMだと数十Gにもなるので機動飛行でどうこうなる話ではない、撃たれた時点で終わる。

You have no clue 😂 data link helmet that make you look treu the plane better radar better misssle stealth f35s own the griphen sorry to say yes Its a good fighter and reasonable cheap buth be real man

​@@davidclaeysbetter missile, Gripen fields the Meteor, the best BVR missile on the planet. Also the radar in Gripen E is one of the best, and with Gripens datalink capabilities sensor fusion is world class.

@@davidclaeysGripen is faster, has higher climb rate and can super cruise, the F35 can’t. The Gripen E EW suite is superior to anything that the F35. A missile shot from a Gripen can be controlled by a tank on the ground, a ship in the sea or another Gripen.

It’s operated in Thailand, South Africa and Brazil in addition to to Sweden, Hungary and the Czech Republic

@@traver1965
The benefit of NATO, or for that matter, if NATO gets undermined, it could be a future expansion of NORDEFCO to be more than just cooperation, but also a defensive alliance, is that no country need to focus on having all the various capabilities necessary, but instead can compliment each other.
When it comes to Gripen and the F35, it turns out that the two "competitors" compliments each other amazingly well, something the Swedish Airforce, the Royal Danish Airforce, the Royal Norwegian Airforce, and the Finnish Airforce, has been practicing and now benefits from in the form of the brand new Nordic Division and the implementation of NAPC operating from JAOC at Bodø Air Station in Norway.

Yes buth if you have the money the f35 wil kick the griphen ass anytime simple buth yes its a very expensive plane

​@@davidclaeysnot necessarily

@@davidclaeys
Not really, and need I really remind you that it’s not the aircraft that "beats" anyone, but the pilot?
The "stealth" capabilities of the F35 are great yes, but it’s significant slower and much less dexterous - and "stealth" capabilities doesn’t help much the moment you can be observed directly by other units that can interact and provide data to the Gripen.
HOWEVER, a couple of F35 working TOGETHER with two to four Gripen, that’s a very dangerous combination…..

Yes. It’s quite short. Both the AJ/JA37 Viggen and JAS 39 Gripen have extra strong landing gear just for this reason. They also have reverse thrust.

Thank you for your response.

@@jesperwall839 Viggen had reverse thrust, Gripen dont.

@ That’s true. It uses its canards instead 👍

🇸🇪🫶🇧🇷

🇸🇪❤🇧🇷 Great partners.🤝

And Sweden bought the Brazilian Embraer plane for strategic lift. A great partnership.

The Gripen is one of the easiest jets to fly however. Still needs skull and experience offcourse. But the man - machine interface is world class in the Gripen more so in the E variant. The pilot can focus less on flying and more on tactics
