For a country with a population of just over 10 million people, it’s impressive that Sweden can maintain one of the best fighter aircraft programs.
An aircraft’s effectiveness is not solely determined by how fast it can fly. Now it’s about how instant AI can integrate information and present the data for pilots to act upon in battle.
Unlike U.S. or Russian fighters, Swedish Gripens can’t carry the most weapons, have no real stealth, nor are they the longest-range, fastest, or even the cheapest jet. Nevertheless,
Sweden has chosen another niche to compete. The country’s focus is to develop a fighter jet with the most advanced electronics to become a nightmare for its closest adversary – Russia.
