It's not stealth but it has better OTH/BVR than the F-35 or any other fighter so it's a moot point.
Saab's whole spiel on the Gripen E is that it is: modernized avionics and electronics with advanced EW capabilities
modular so upgrades and specializations are theoretically unlimited
built mostly off the shelf so cheap and robust supply chain
will sell the tooling and training to build them in country, giving buyers an air defense industry.
None of that means wet shit when the US is telling you to buy the F-35 or else, and selling them at a 200% loss to undercut the market to boot, unless you're Brazil, which wants to be the A class continental power in the Americas and NOT be dependent on the US for fleet vehicles. Mexico could make a similar move if it wasn't a basket case politically, and it wouldnt surprise me if Nigeria went out for the Gripen at some point in the next 10 years, but I wouldn't bet on it either. SA will almost certainly buy the E at some point but other than that its a great jet at an excellent price with a lot to offer than nobody wants to buy. c'est la vie
That's the total program cost. You're either inept or disingenuous. And you missed an opportunity for a fricking pun. These are all plane facts.

You're a fricking moron. The marginal cost of a plane has fallen, and continues to fall. The graph you posted (which you evidently don't understand) details the cost of the program. That's like saying that Glock is clearly losing money selling Gen 5 guns for $500 because they haven't paid off their new tooling yet.
buzzword to fool civilians in charge of procurement
no one is buying gripens so they are planning to sell NFTs instead
Don't tell PrepHole or we'll get flooded by Indians asking how to buy in.
>digitized fighter aircraft
this is actually revolutionary, this means you can summon/store your fighterjet with your digivice!
Is it stealth? Does the game changer make it better than a stealth aircraft?

>selling them at a loss
ok moron
The F-35 costs $400m per plane to build. buying one for any price under that means the US is picking up the tab for the rest.
try to be less obvious homosexual
its a plain fact

Yeah about that BVR capability. This is only due to the meteor bvraam. Even then a Gripen E has zero chance of defeating a f35 in a bvr fight.
I had a saab station wagon as my first car. It was great, i fricking loved it.
I was going to make a joke how Gripen's only export market is DCS World but turns out they don't have it there besides as a mod
I'm just going to continue waiting for the Saab 41
w-would that shape have a low RCS ?
>stealth draken
stop, my dick can't handle the beating
take off the verticle fins and its perfect
The meatballs are simmering in the sauce
The shoppers are getting lost in Ikea
>gripen
>plz buy
Straight grippen
Maybe the fly by wire system is digital?
