GRIPEN FOR SWITZERLAND

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Gripen – better than F/A-18 and F-5.

Gripen is approximately the same size as the F-5 Tiger. Gripen’s size would allow the Swiss Air Force to use its existing infrastructure without having to build expensive new facilities. At the same time, Gripen‘s state-of-the-art design, weapons systems and on-board sensors give it better performance and greater operational flexibility than the competition.
