The Socialdemocratic party (the largest party in Sweden, but in opposition) has announced they want to provide Gripen fighters to Ukraine, but only after Swedens entry into NATO. A lot of studies will be needed to ensure that the consequences of the transfer can be handled by the Swedish Air...

The journalists pointed out that the Rafale M would not fit as is. That Dassault are offering a modified Rafale M is evidence that they were correct. The question is not if the modified Rafale M will fit or not. The question is if the modification will have any drawbacks.

The posting by @BON PLAN clearly indicates that the Rafale M had to be modified to fit the elevator. Until we know exactly what modifications are needed, we cannot judge the impact on flight operations.

Of course, but since this was the thinking several years ago, and Dassault might have found a better solution. Only time will tell. It is clear that the current Rafale-M would not work as is. The effect is latency. If an elevator can bring up a new aircraft every three minutes, it will take...

From Bon Plans post: ”Though the Rafale-M does not have foldable wings, Dassault has agreed to make design changes—like tweaking the pylon structure of the aircraft—to make it suitable for the Vikrant. This enabled it to clear the Navy's technical parameters.” Changing the pylon structure does...

I think your memory fails You. The chief designer was Kurt Tank, who designed the Focke-Wulf FW 190.

The estimated lifetime cost of an F-35A is $650M.

Russia is in an exposed position in Syria. It might be able to take out a few Israeli aircrafts, but would risk getting SEAD attacks in return. Neither Israel, nor Russia has any interest in a conflict. Russia wants to supress Saudi supported rebels, and Israel wants to limit Irans activities...

Syria shot down an F-16 using 27 missiles, after which most of their air defense was destroyed. 5 years later flight operations continues without losses. Does not seem tbat they can repeat making this insignificant. Russian radars might be powerful, but without AESA radars they can be jammed...

I think Ukraine needs to get rid of the Russian aircrafts that harrass every Ukrainan aircraft taking off, so they would need fighters to protect their airspace as well.

The Russians are the ones that can put a stop to the killing of Ukrainans by stopping killing Ukrainans. The F-16 will neither make or break the win. It will simply tilt the war towards Ukraine. What will win the war is persistence. I doubt that is in the plans. Ukraine will get second hand...

I think it will take several years before that comes into fruition. Sweden plans to keep some of the Gripen C/Ds when the Gripen E is fully operational but I suspect up to 40-50 might be possible in a few years.

Russia might survive, but Russians will not. A very large part of Russians live in the Moscow and S:t Petersburg areas. Zelenskyy, Swedish PM discussing production of CV-90 infantry fighting vehicles in Ukraine During his working visit to Sweden, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will...

Volunteers joining from NATO nations are not NATO troops unless they are under NATO command, so there are no NATO troops in Ukraine, except for a few liason officers. All weapons have an expected attrition rate. Noone expects that if Ukraine gets F-16, none will be shot down. The US lost...

I am sorry, but correct data shows that the main car producer is Ahlgrens.

The reason for the high sales in July seems to be a $7k discount that ended midyear. A test of the car ended with: You have to be mad to buy an Atto 3 instead of a Tesla. https://gronamobilister.se/tester/byd-atto-3-elbil/

Not according to normal statistics.

That, you have to bring up with him. You can also say that he should concentrate on global warming. It is however a fact that everyone has the right to drive whatever issue they want in a truly free society. The problem with your whataboutism is that the contents of the Quran needs to stand on...

Big deal… In August they have sold very little…

The EU delivers 100,000 155 mm shells per month to Ukraine which is not to sneeze at.
