L'avion suédois «ultra moderne» JAS 39 Gripen arrive bientôt en Ukraine pour défier l'armée russe

L’Ukraine va commencer à recevoir les JAS 39 Gripen. Ces avions de combat «ultra modernes» sont conçus par le constructeur suédois Saab. Jussi Halmetoja, major retraité de l'armée de l'air suédoise, qui a passé près de 25 ans dans l'aviation militaire, décrypte ses caractéristiques.

The social media discourse on national defence is about as useful as anything else that random Internet accounts weigh in on...

I've seen a recent uptick in the past month or so pushing the idea that any choice other than the F-35 to replace the CF-18s would be, at best a sentimental choice, and at worst a betrayal of our Baltic allies and a reckless choice putting our own airspace at risk.

I'm not sure.

I understand there's a legitimate argument that, at a minimum, we should procure enough F-35s to support #Canada 's troops deployed with our Latvian allies. The Russians are the kind of threat that it is intended to counter.

The Swedes aren't fools. They have an interest in countering the same military in a nearby part of the world.

Is the #Gripen E really a catastrophic choice? I don't think so, and neither does the Center for National Interest, a US defence think tank. This should be a proper debate, not an empty net goal.

F-35 or Gripen? Canada’s Fighter Jet Dilemma, Explained

Canada was long expected to buy the F-35 Lightning II to replace its aging CF-18 fighters—but political tensions with America, and a surprising offer from Sweden, have upended these assumptions.

Ottawa won't say if it penalized Gripen jets in 2021 analysis

National Defence is refusing to disclose how it analyzed competing fighter jet bids after a Swedish media report suggested the evaluation was weighted against Saab's Gripen E.

Cold start comparisons of modern fighter planes:

Gripen, 95 seconds.
F-35, 14 minutes.

Canada’s choice of aircraft should be clear.

12 and a half minutes is forever in modern warfare. IRBM’s from USA could wipe out bases, without time for F-35’s to even start!

But Gripens? They would still have a chance of escape, after launches would be detected.

@jamie Rheinmetall and KNDS can setup a plant in Canada to build Leopard 2 tanks for Canada and #EU. I am not saying that #Gripen is compromised. Rather buying equipment which has significant or critical components from US does not in any way achieve anything.

Does Canada really want to be independent from US or does it want to maintain a certain distance? Can Canada afford to do this? #Trump's term ends in 2028. He will be a lame duck post 2026 mid terms based on projections.

@jamie Those South Korean Tanks and guns have a significant portion of US Tech and components. They have been designed and built with American help. What Canada is doing is still buying US stuff through a circuitous route. Just like the proposed Swedish #Gripen which is based on a US engine, GE F414 and has significant US ECW components in it.

If Canada were to get serious, which it is not, it would buy German tanks or build one of its own in collaboration with UK or others.
