Report Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s
The SAAB CEO did admit in 2022 that the aircraft was not as good as the F-16 or Rafaele. The Gripen represents a very light fighter in a class below standard lightweights such as the American F-16 or French Rafale, and comparable to the Indian Tejas and Sino-Pakistani F-16. The aircraft uses the same American F404 engine as the Tejas, a powerplant originally designed for the U.S. Navy's F-18 Hornet fighter, while the JF-17 uses a derivative of the RD-33 engine built for the Hornet’s Soviet rival the MiG-29. https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/ceo-of-sweden-s-saab-admits-extreme-frustration-as-clients-don-t-want-gripen-fighters-no-sales-for-over-eight-years The Gripen's advantage is that Thailand has past experience with the aircraft, and it is more cost effective than the US products. An added benefit is that it is unlikely that any bribes are paid. The transaction will be subject to Sweden's anti bribery laws. -
