VER TAMAÑO COMPLETO
JAS 39 Gripen C/D - Saab AB / GKN Defence
VENTAJAS
- Lowest acquisition and lifecycle cost of any Western multirole fighter
- CATOBAR-independent — can operate from roads (500m dispersed basing)
- Meteor BVR missile is longest-range ramjet AAM available
- NATO-standard weapons compatibility (AMRAAM, Sidewinder, Paveway)
- Rapid 10-minute turnaround with minimal ground crew
DESVENTAJAS
- Single engine increases vulnerability risk on long overwater missions
- PS-05/A mechanically scanned radar inferior to AESA
- Smaller weapons load than Typhoon, Rafale or F-15
- Relatively thin airframe limits growth for fuel or electronics
- C/D variants now aging — E/F production replacing them

Endurance figures for sustained blue-water operations are solid, though replenishment cycles still constrain operational planning.
