You gotta love the swedish-czech cloaking technology. Who disliked Ikea?

The JAS-39 is a great MiG-21/29/F-16 replacement. It doesn't carry the biggest combat load or have the greatest range, but for a short-range multirole light fighter it's excellent. That said, I think the F-35 will outclass it (aside from stealth) because it's bigger and designed to replace some twin-engined fighters. Yet the Gripen has been available for a lot longer now and has a known track record for costs and maintenance that let a prospective buyer know exactly what they're getting.

I remember flying it in Jane's ATF/NATO Fighters in the 90s and loving it, other than its small number of missiles.

Is that a two-seater? I can't tell because somebody's put some girls in the way...

In the end the plane is less expensive........

Not necessarily. Unlike the girls, the plane could last 30 years.
