best to leave them a road out so they can leave

they could remove the settlements in the WB like they did in Gaza. That worked out well wouldnt want to kidnap the leaders of foreign countries or anything or siphon money out of the country and promote hostile misinformation Israel might not be Norway but its a lot closer than the alternative

did the Aussies really buy the SH to replace the F-111 or to mitigate against delays in the F35?

well i hope its about developing the ability to be more involved in building our own military capabilities I dont think there is any other reason to buy Gripen's

they are buying those airframes as an upgrade the timing matters 2034 first Gripen assembled in Canada? 2040 production run over? what are these aircraft for? How effective are they going to be in 2040?

everyone? the other countries are also into the process of replacing their 4th gens with 6th gens the timing just seems off

most of these countries added F35s to their 4th gen fleets, with a Gripen we'd be adding a 4th to a 5th gen fleet-backwards

We dont, just seems like there's a lot of smoke there

Yes the UK seems all out of sorts right now, but if we are in on GCAP, where does that leave us with SAAB? Some sort of loyal wingman?

Previous with GCAP it was stated that there was no room for more partners or workshare. Recently there seems to be some movement there. GCAP looks like the best program with the best companies experience wise but a SAAB/AIRBUS would be a serious opportunity. As far as FCAS goes, I would...

You would think the war would have been a negative

The question isnt whether you can slap tanks on a Gripem its what it can do with them on.

any and all

Can the Gripen even manage range wise vs an F35 or even an CF-18?

We chose not to buy Asterix didnt we?
