  1. Well, the cope cage has an unintended benefit. Tarps can be tied over the cage to provide shade. The tank then effectively has an awning

  3.  @iatsd  that's not true at all. F-16 is very good for air defense. And Grippen simply does not have the range that the F-16 has. Range is king in the pacific. Nor do any of the fighters that you're going to mention have the data link capability that the F-16 has. The Philippines will most likely be using American ordinance for anti-ship and anti-air missions. An American platform interfaces with such ordinance more seamlessly than a non-US platform. And then there's the satellite interface. Sweden simply can't match the American satellite network. Nor does it have the parts train or experience pool that the F-16 has. Belgium, Greece, Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Israel have all flown the F-16 longer than the Grippen has existed. And then there's Argentina, South Korea, and Taiwan, and Singapore.

  4. The Grippen doesn't have the range that the F-16 does. Nor does it have the parts train. And it doesn't have the multinational geezer force of retired pilots and maintenance personnel that the F-16 has. Which can be called upon for advice by the Philippines. And range is king in the Pacific.

  5. Oh! But I thought the S-400 was supposed to be the magical "game changer" that would sweep western airpower away? 😆

  7.  @leifiseland1218  False. Gripen does not outrange F-16. And those are all second-rate munitions to American munitions. And if those munitions were so great they could be adapted for Carrie on the F-16. 😉 And Swedish e.w. cannot compete with American e.w.

  9. Seems like they would have been good for anti-submarine patrol in the Atlantic

  11. The Taliban want their pilots to break ground and fly into the wind. However, what they'll likely do is...
