SAAB Demands Justice from Canada over Gripen Failure

Upset by the "politically influenced" F-35 deal, #SAAB Pins looks forward to "fair" Canada in the Gripen fighter deal.

Finland's decision to buy a US-made F-35 stealth fighter seems to have upset Saab, the maker of #gripen jets. But its CEO is optimistic about the possibility of winning a Canadian contract later this year.

"I'm disappointed that Finland has chosen to move to the United States," Michael Johansson said at a full-year results briefing on February 11. I don't know how I could do better.

Finland announced in December that it would replace the aging F / A-18 fighter with 64 F-35 fighters and a weapons system with a $ 9.4 billion contract. In the same deal, Swedish aerospace company Saab touted a package containing two Gripen-E jets and two Bombardier Global 6000-based GlobalEye observers.

He said the decision to choose the F-35 may have been based on political judgment. "Everything can be political. It's not just about getting good products. There are several opportunities on the Gripen side," Johansson added.

Aim for #Canadian transactions.
The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) is currently looking for a new fighter to replace the aging CF-18 Hornet. After Boeing was removed from the race, the F-35A and Gripen E were eligible to compete in the final stages of the 88-air contract.

"Canadians have a clear answer that they meet certain affordable, feature, and security requirements for interoperating systems within the context of Two Eyes, Five Eyes, and NORAD. There is, "says Johannsson. "We are now waiting for the next step from them.

He acknowledges that political issues definitely play a role in the decision-making process, but he adds: We give each country the power of sovereignty. We have the ability to transfer technology, set up shops in the country, manufacture and further develop the system.

Canada may make a decision and sign a contract under the Future Fighter Capability Project in 2022. Last year, Saab's first six Gripen-Es were deployed from the Linköping facility, launching the delivery process for the Swedish and Brazilian Air Forces. The two services jointly ordered 96 new-generation fighters.

Saab Gripen-E.
Gripen-E is an upgraded version of the Gripen C / D multirole aircraft equipped with the GEF414G turbofan engine. It can carry a maximum load capacity of 16,500 kg and travels on Mach 2.

According to Saab, it features a new AESA radar, an infrared search and track system (IRST) for long-range threat monitoring, advanced electronic warfare and communication systems, and excellent situational awareness. As the manufacturer explains, "The E-series redefines the air power of the 21st century by expanding its operational capabilities.

The Human-Machine Collaboration (HMC) feature of the Gripen E series integrates tactical techniques that provide pilots with only relevant information by excluding other highly technical and confusing data. In times of crisis, this helps pilots save time and act virtually instantly.

Gripen is not stealth, but some countries are interested in Gripen because Saab is willing to work with indigenous industries and accept offset conditions. In 2015, as previously reported by the Eurasian Times, the Royal Thai Air Force's old Saab Gripen C / D defeated a Chinese J-11 aircraft in a war game.

Does Gripen-E have a chance?
As mentioned earlier, Saab offers Canada the Gripen-E model. Gripen-E is an upgraded version of the Gripen C / D multirole aircraft. The company is marketing the same model to India.
