Ooo, boy. Was I right? Talk again about Ukraine might purchase Gripen. https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/more-optimal-than-f-35-air-force-explains-1761157097.html https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/ukraine-plans-to-buy-120-150-new-swedish-1761143403.html I already mentioned this, with the addition that we might training their pilots. In the neighbourhood beyond Sweden the only one who flies Gripens is us. And here it is: > Sweden began training Ukrainian pilots on the Gripen back in 2023. This quote above aligns with what I wrote back in 2023, see picrels and links at the bottom to the posts. > According to Ignat, Ukrainian pilots have already mastered the Gripen. They traveled to Sweden specifically and conducted familiarization flights on the fighter. > mastered > familiarization Those are two different things. Mastering takes a long fucking time. But obviously neither them nor us will acknowledge this. We are Putin's faithful allies after all and the arch-nemesis of Zelensky. > The aircraft is capable of landing and taking off not only from paved roads but also from dirt strips. Can the F-35 do the same thing? Press any key for doubt. Two problems: 1. Money. Grok says one plane costs somewhere $85 million to $151 million. We are leasing them. 2. Sweden lacks production capacity. They can't deliver. They produce for themselves and Brazil (with local assembly). > This is a long-term contract: production of this model has only just begun, and the first deliveries, according to Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, are possible in three years. So if they really buy, it could happen they won't arrive just after the war. Here are my previous posts about this: >>/49918/ >>/50292/ >>/51016/ Picrels for the other threads might get bumped off in the future. Haha, good joge.
