The new planes would fly alongside European-designed Jaguars, French Mirage 2000s and Rafales, Russian MiG-29s and Su-30s, and India's own indigenous Tejas fighter in what Lockheed described as "the world’s largest fighter aircraft ecosystem. Official sources said the IAF is pushing for finalising the mega-deal in the wake of the Balakot strikes and evolving security scenario in the region. "If you’re a flanker pilot, it’s probably a very scary thing to face."Additionally, the Gripen E can fire almost any missile made in the US or Europe.  Competitors for the 115-plane purchase include the F-21, Boeing's F/A-18E/F, the Rafale, the European Typhoon, the Swedish Gripen E and the Russian MiG … Or "F-21," if you will.U.S. Saab’s Gripen is out of the running in Swiss aircraft race By: Sebastian Sprenger June 14, 2019 The new "E" version of the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen multirole fighter is … In early 2019 China manufactured several fighter types with the basic airframe of the Russian Su-27. "The F-21 has common components and learning from Lockheed Martin’s fifth-generation F-22 and F-35 and will share a common supply chain on a variety of components," Lockheed stated on its website on the morning of Feb. 20, 2019.A few hours later, that claim disappeared from the site.Even if that fighter appears to the casual observer to be just another old F-16.The rebranding raises an important question. The number of different fighter types that a country simultaneously can produce is a useful marker of that country's war-making capacity.

The top contenders for the deal include Lockheed's F-21, Boeing's F/A-18, Dassault Aviation's Rafale, the Eurofighter Typhoon, Russian aircraft MiG 35 and Saab's Gripen. One of the Gripens was "reportedly able to appear on the left wing of a Typhoon without being detected" by using its "extremely respected" jamming ability, Bronk said.Gripen pilots don't like to show their cards by demonstrating the full power of the jet's jamming in training.

And three of the types first appeared in the 1970s or 1980s.It isn't a purely academic question. J-11. The Gripen E is Sweden's cheap solution to killing Russia's fighter jets and surface-to-air missiles, and Russia probably can't do much about it. THE GREAT FIGHTER GAME :Gripen E VS F 16 block 70 by defenceupdate As India looks to replace its ageing Soviet-era lightweight combat aircraft fleet, two players have emerged as possible contenders, American defence major Lockheed Martin’s F-16 Fighting Falcon Block 70 and Swedish defence major Saab’s Gripen E fighter aircraft. "They include an advanced F-15 variant that Boeing offered to the U.S. Air Force as the "F-15X" and a new F/A-18E/F model that has almost nothing in common with Boeing's 1980s-vintage F/A-18A/B.Lockheed meanwhile made three kinds of F-35 plus the F-16V. J-16.New Delhi wants to spend around $18 billion building 115 new fighters to replace the old MiGs. "Even if it does, it’s going to be a constant battle between your adversary and you" to get the edge on the enemy fighters as wave forms and methods of attack continuously change."Several years ago the Gripen pilots got tired of being made fun of by German Typhoon pilots and came to play with their wartime electronic warfare and gave them a hell of a hard time," Bronk said. Each type has a unique designation. Lockheed can build new F-16Vs or upgrade older F-16s to the V-standard.The danger in not giving a new fighter a new designation is in the impression it creates. Saab JAS-39 Gripen vs F-22 Raptor Comparison. "Sweden is too small really to optimize your counter-electronic warfare capabilities against," Bronk said. But Bronk noted one issue with electronic warfare.If war broke out between Russia and the West, Russia would likely try hardest to push back on US electronic warfare, rather than against Sweden's Gripen Es, of which there would be only a few dozen. The whole concept of the Gripen E is to "operate in Swedish territory, take advantage of all sorts of uneven terrain under cover of friendly surface-to-air missiles with a superb EW suite which should in theory keep it safe from the majority of Russian missiles and air to air threats," Bronk said.Saab plans to update the software on the Gripen E every two years, giving it more flexibility to meet evolving challenges, according to Bronk.The commander of Sweden's air force, Mats Helgesson, recently made the bold statement that his country's Saab Gripen E fighter could beat Russia's formidable fleet of Sukhoi jets with none of the expensive stealth technology the US relies on. "If you couple a very effective radar with excellent EW and a Meteor, the most effective longest range air-to-air missile which is resistant against [Russia's] jammers ... There's no reason not to assume it wouldn’t be pretty damn effective," Bronk said.
