What video ? Where ? You mean the 7 G maneuver capability of the Gripen ? Even the advertised 8.5 G crushes the Gripen into pieces

Pilots or test pilots or air force pilots is NOT the topic, pilots are human beings whose action is not easy to measure by us as we don't fly with them or control their thinking.

7 Gripen crashes, 2 of them in the last 21 days.....was it the pilot who broke his own Gripen landing wheels 14 days ago ?

Gripen Junk....JAS Gripen = Junk Aircraft Systems Gripen.....beware of those breaking spider legs of your $68 million Gripen

No report from Pakistani Air force on why he died, you post speculators.

$15 million JF-17 has 'bad' parachute.....no proof. $68 million Gripen has bad landing gear...confirmed report.

Your $68 million Gripen is worse than the $15 million JF-17 block I

You should be ashamed, my brovar

Hypotheticals

just over 100 actually ordered

Henry120:


Who is ordering the Half-French, this was the question?

patches689:


260 Gripen would not have been sold if it could not perform

AugustineAgain:


1. Of the 260 Gripens, Sweden that made it for themselves ordered 204 Gripens, it's home to home sales by Government decree.

2. First Gripen export had to be achieved by bribery and corruption money paid to South Africa by by SAAB Sweden.

3. If no bribes were paid to beg South Africa to buy and open up export market, ONLY Sweden would have been flying Gripen in this world.

JAS Junk Aircraft Gripen for $68 million needs bribery to sell it because it is expensive junk !

1. You are literally broke
2. Having an army aviation wing is not "advanced" and for a small underfunded military it is a massive blunder - proven by the fact that the Nigerian army has tried to do it before and failed

AugustineAgain:


250 requirement and in-house order.

150 SIPRI listed order

56 delivered

24 ordered by unnamed customer this month in Paris


JF-17 is sold without need of bribery, unlike the Gripen that sells by paying bribes to corrupt politicians/military men

Recconnaissance only in Libya.....Recce behind the back of the leading RAF Sentinel ISTAR and USN E-2 AWACS/ISTAR doing the real work.

No single combat by Gripen in it's history. It has NEVER fired one bullet or face one single enemy, even if it's MiG-21

9 Gripen have crashed out of over 260 in operation world wide.

BIG WHOOP

[s]Nope, there are no 260 Gripens in operation worldwide.

Sweden has 50 in storage, don't fly.

South Africa has 12 in storage, don't fly.

South Africa has 14 in service but NEVER do combat maneuver, pilots NOT combat qualified, only take off and land for Mandela's funeral

Most Gripens around the world are actually in storage, and the few that fly are crashing twice in 21 days ![/s]

[s]Quote where I said that you have 14 pilots.

We have always said 14 Gripens operational with 9 pilots ALL not combat qualified, reason why they hardly ever fly.

You have NO combat air force for air superiority today

[size=16pt]South Korea commemorates South African airmen - calls them "our hero's" [/size]

The Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to South Africa, His Excellency Choi Yeon-ho, said that he would like to “express our deepest gratitude to our heroes, the Korean War veterans, for their sacrifice and contribution.”

When war broke out in Korea, the Union Government announced on 4 August 1950 its intention to place an all-volunteer South African Air Force (SAAF) squadron at the disposal of the United Nations.

2 Squadron, whilst equipped with Mustangs, flew 10,373 sorties and out of a total of 95 Mustangs acquired, no fewer than 74 were lost due to enemy action and accidents. Twelve Mustang pilots were killed in action, 30 missing and four wounded. A further 2,032 sorties were flown in Sabres jets, with four Sabres lost out of 22 supplied.

Nigerians brag about fighting rag-tag rebels, we dont brag about fighting anyone, men from other nations come to praise us for our contributions and victory's.

@Patches admits SAAF (Old white-men apartheid era pilots) lost about 80% of their combat aircraft in battle

patches689:


Gripen can pull 9g maneuvers - this is a fact

You are bragging about World War II vintage propeller aircraft flown by white ,men who are now dead ?

So we keep 14 planes in the air with 9 pilots?

Yet, those 9 pilots dont have enough flying time to be "combat qualified"

hahahahahahahahaahahahahah - you killed yourself.

And augbugug, you can keep talking about Grip crashes, I know you think this is some big amazing thing you have uncovered, but its not, only 3% of Gripen in the world have been lost to crashes in over 20 years of operation without a single pilot fatality. That is a fantastic safety record.

The fact that you have abandoned any factual argument, and are now wildly posting about a handfull of accidents it a fairly clear indication that you have been conclusivly defeated in this debate. Post away, my dear slowpoke, post away.

and, FYI, you said we have 14 pilots:
