Indeed. You can probably operate 4 or 5 SAAB Gripens for the cost of one F35, even though they are individually inferior.

- varjag 9y agoGripens were in fact in final round talks vs F35 for Norway's tender. Costs were not too dissimilar.
- hn0 9y agoThat’s interesting, I’ve read articles stating the operational costs were supposed to be much lower than the F35. In my country there’s now pushback against the F35 but there seems to be a push to obtain them irregardless of criticisms. This makes me wonder if there’s political maneuvering by the US to keep the militaries linked.
