Thank you, Sweden

Your Gripen jets are both affordable AND stylish.

We love them so much!

They are useless too

too damn small

>mfw my cunt is still not buying any new jets

p-please buy our jets

someone

please

*buys 100*
Thanks for the mate's rates

they cannot compete with other modern fighters

We'll probably buy some more used F16s soon

That's not very nice, Thais can compete just fine if they have modern training facilities.

>affordable AND stylish
Four trainers and seven C's.... Your pilots will look so chic taxiing around Surat Thani in these.

I'll take 20
>be Australian
>"oi cunt, check out these feigh-ter jets we bought from the yanks"

buy aermacchi-130 NATO codename: "mitten" please

looks so frickin small

It looks so tiny and adorable. Is it combat capable?

2-4 AA rockets
+
2-4 500kg HE/cluster/napalm bombs or 2-4 rocket blocks

>entrusting your life to italian engineering
>entrusting your national defense to italian engineering

Reminder that they bought Italian LMVs.

>check out these feigh-ter jets we bought from the yanks
Nah, thats New Zeeland.
If it was said by us, it'd be foightah jets mate

Do they break down every 2000km like their cars?

If it's from FCA, yes.

Gripens are cute little jets

Mate, it's a specially designed military grade vehicle, give the Italians a break.

It's like a breakdown every 2200km at least

Jesus christ.

They had them because they were manufacturing them, the contract is over, so they abandoned it. It was about money, not performance.

Plus all LMVs they have will be transferred to the police, because their military considered the LMV unsuitable for the battlefield.

>Unit cost US$20 million
is this a toy plane?

Interesting. So they basically copied and now the originals goes to the cops.

Why do we need jets again?

Tigr-M already existed when Russia made the deal with Iveco though. The only new Russian light vehicle that appeared after Russia cancelled the LMV was the Kamaz Typhoon 4x4.

This deal reminds me of Avibras with Renault, they made one called "Tupi" based on the Renault Sherpa, which didn't gone through since the army choose the... LMV.

buy new gripen generation bls

to keep others out of your airspace?

Same reason police need cars

Botswanas president is here in Sweden to buy 8 of them at the moment. The opposition in Botswana is apparently outraged about it and want either him or us to break off the deal.

Outmatched by the Rafale no?

Thank you for always sucking my dick at a cheap price

They have the money?
Botswana has enemies?

to solve problems internally.
>shhhh i dont want to hear that word democracy

No idea tbqh I just saw all the news about it when it succeeded in the maiden flight a few days ago

Where are our F35s we ordered ages ago and paid gazillions for b*tch ? I heard they are useless now b*tch. Nice doing business b*tch

I hope we go with the F-35 instead of this.
It's affordable but fighters are the one thing we shouldn't be skimping out on

They need to update it to 20th century technology now. Wouldn't want to sell something that is not finished, thet would be bad for business. Also the canopy opens randomly and there's no oxygen to the pilot which can be bothersome for the pilot

>not supporting your greatest ally

Aren't they around the same size as an F-16?

>mfw my cunt does not have any jets

A valid sentiment... if you were only getting a single plane. It's not skimping if you spend the same amount of money to get a greater number of planes.

Very cute. Would be better with two engines though.

The Rafale has that ugly fuel probe though which ruins its otherwise gorgeous aesthetics.

Why can't the French into retractable probes?

One F-35 is worth multiple 4th generation fighters though.

>being a generation 4.5 fighter when you could have a generation 5 fighter instead
For what purpose?

>One F-35 costs as much as multiple 4th generation fighters though.
ftfy

What features of the 5th generation do you really require that are not in 4.5th generation fighters?

And? Is it not worth paying more for a technically superior product? (let's try and not turn this into an F-35 shitfest though).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth-generation_jet_fighter

To answer your question by quoting Lockheed Martin: all-aspect stealth even when armed, low probability of intercept radar (LPIR), high-performance airframes, advanced avionics features, and highly integrated computer systems capable of networking with other elements within the battlespace for situation awareness

>generation 5 fighter
>no supercruise

Depends on the 4th generation fighter. At the moment the cost of an F-35 is coming down, and will be a similar price to many 4th generation planes it will replace. It's true it has taken tens of billions to get to this point though.

The F-22 does though. Granted, it is a bit odd that the F-35 doesn't, but it isn't as specialised in its role as the other jets in service that can supercruise, so that probably factors into it in some way - I don't know enough on the topic to be sure.

>Gripen is the only single-engined jet that can supercruise
That's actually very impressive. Must be one hell of a powerful engine.

>The F-22 does though
And that's why it is the only 5th gen fighter in the world (if we are judging by american standarts for the 5th gen).

Supercruise isn't a concrete requirement for a 5th gen fighter though (although definitions do vary a bit).

It was. Burgers changed their requirements just so they can market F-35 as "5th gen".

>MFW russia invades Norgay with 0 resistance because its entire air force was grounded due to a light drizzle
>still bringing up an issue that was resolved ages ago

Stop bullying the F-35.

>makes anti-Anglo post
>Irish flag comes to the defense of them

>Where are our F35s we ordered ages ago and paid gazillions for b*tch ?
You gotta fuckin wait in line like the rest of us. We ordered some 2 years before you and we only just received our first one barely a few months ago. They take a lot of time to manufacture and those who ordered first, receive first.

Nice deflection.

You're better off buying Vipers tbqh

Dassault thought it was safer to have a fixed probe rather than a retractable mechanism that could fail.

Rafale wasn't designed for extreme aerodynamical performances anyway

We already have enough of those.

I really don't get why you're getting Gripens then.

I'm pretty sure the don't sell them the f35 at the least cuz the software is what makes it currently be best jet out there

Affordable and stylish.

>affordable
Not more than Vipers
>stylish
Agreed, probably the best looking light fighter

>Agreed, probably the best looking light fighter
Good taste. Although if the Rafale had a retractable probe, I'd rank it as the most aesthetic.

nice swedish jet. on what does it fly on? nigger semen? moans of blonde swedish women fucked by non whites?

The energy generated by King Gustavus Adolphus spinning in his grave.

Yeah well, blame Dassault and "muh safety reasons".

Considering how reliable Dassault planes are, I really don't see any risk.

Hey Thailand, your neighbour Myanmar just bought new jets too

obviously you havent heard of JF 17

why not, its a capable 4th generation fighter

China is the next high tech leader
the're stuff aint that bad even now

engines will soon be replaced with the WS-13
block 3 will get an AESA radar

>China is the next high tech leader
Maybe at some point of in the future. Most of their current military aviation designs are just inferior copies of Western or Russian tech.

>engines will soon be replaced with the WS-13
>block 3 will get an AESA radar
Congratulations, you now have a fighter as capable as an F-16.

Umm didn't we lend India the rights to manufacture F16s

At this current rate they aren't going anywhere fast.

I have always wondered why Sup Forums draws the top most experts in fighter jets, everytime

You will live to regret that.

Because some of these people love their subject so much that they struggle to relate / socialize with normal people. So they're only option is to hangout with retards and other outcasts.

Why? Because they will learn something new or F-16s will be literally poo tier now

>they're

>Because they will learn something new
This.
