where is F14...?
In a dominatrix kind of way......Kinky...sexier thn my gf,,,
New Recruit
Having Tomcat's at Iranian Air Force doesn't mean that it's deserve to be in top 10
I dont say where is tomcats bcz Iran has it, F14 is a good fighter and you should not forget it, and F14 in his age was the most powerful jet fighter of world.....
New Recruit
got that, but if so, by logic, even F-100 or SuperSabra would be the best fighter.

to have a useful range your gripen need fuel tank which increase it's RCS and reduce maneuver significantly , btw can you please quote the link showing that gripen can supercruise in these configurationsThe NG Demonstrator has successfully sustained Supercruise at Mach 1.2 or higher [for a satisfying amount of distance] with the following configurations:
- 2xIRIS-T + 4xMeteor + 2x450 gallon external tanks
- 2xAIM-9L + 4xAMRAAM + 2x450 gallon external tanks
- 2xIRIS-T + 2xMeteor + 2xGbu-49 + 2x450 gallon external tanks
- 2xIRIS-T + 4xMeteor + 2xGbu-49
- 2xIRIS-T + 4xAMRAAM with 2 double-pylons + 2xBK90 + 2x450 gallon external tanks
doesnot mean much f-35 cannot sustain supersonic speed without afterburner but it have much more fuel compared to gripenSo no. It's not very restricted in terms of supercruise and no, it still has a far superior supercruise-envelope compared to the F-16 or F-35 (that neither have the ability to reach and sustain supercruise). Even the JAS 39 Gripen A/B/C/D has been able to supercruise for a short period of time during certain environmental factors.
gripen have much bigger RCS than F-35 ( 0.1 m2 clean vs 0.001 m2 ) and with weapon carried externally this will be even worse ( not to mention external fuel tank ) , the APG-81 will also be much much stronger than NOARI've never claimed the Gripen's radar system would outshine the F-35's radar system nor that it's stealthier than an F-35. However, it's important to highlight that the Gripen E/F is far from passive in those areas. It'll get even more interesting in January 2013 when the Gripen E/F specifications will be specified. There's quite a large possibility that new RCS-reducing-enhancements might be employed such as stealthy weapon pods, conformal & removable AAM bays as thought of on the F-15SE, a new split-nose, new radar-absorbant paint/RAM-coating etc. The 39C fighter probably has amongst the smallest RCS/IR-signature of any 4 & 4.5 generation jet to this date, and has very enhanced silent & passive seekers employed aswell as used to have its own data-link system much like that of the advanced F-22's.

the gripen can supercruise while f-35 can only do it with a boost from afterburner but that doesnot really matter since f-35 detect it long before it can detect the f-35 which mean f-35 have enough time to accelerate to top speed ( mach 1.6 ) before launching missilesNOAR AESA (JAS-39 C/D PLUS, post-2013)
