Sweden's Gripen is a nimble, cost-efficient multirole fighter designed to operate from short roads and dispersed bases. A small ground crew can rearm and refuel it in minutes — built for resilience.
Fun fact
A Gripen can be turned around — refueled and rearmed — by five conscripts and one technician in under 10 minutes, on a public road if needed.
How to spot one
Delta wing with forward canards near the nose. Single engine, compact.
One might be overhead right now.
