looks quite a bit like the LCA, and probably would’ve been the same size too.

I say the M2K is the better deal.. it’s operating costs is only a little higher than that of the Gripano..

but if you’re a non-European buyer.. you may consider the fact that most of the Gripens preciousssss weapons like AMRAAM and Maverick, and it’s engine are all American

while the M2K is mostly french..with Mica and it’s M53 or whatever engine.

Furthermore, the future plans to give the Gripen more indigenous components like Meteor, EJ200 engine, and blah blah won’t be realized for a a long time, even a decade. Not to mention the Gripen is still undergoin tests with other weapon systems..

the M2K mk 5 can already use various GPS guided munitions, Israeli, French, etc already.. something MANY non American airplanes are currently missing.

Furthermore, the M2K mk5 can carry more and carry it farther than the Gripen.. and

most importantly.. Sweden got that odd export restriction where you can’t use it in war or some sort..

I say..get M2K mk5 which will be good enough for you until a real 5th generation aircraft becomes more available.

at the pace it’s going makes the LCA and the FC-1 look like shrimp on a hook.

its okay. I like Lego’s stuff better.

LONG LIVE CYPRUSS and UNIFIRCATION!!

Say No to EU occupation and Bulgarian aggression! 😡

I am not interested into Fulcrum now, I simply disagree with many arguments he used regarding single-engined aircraft in general and his glorifying the Viper is not based on any real facts only personal preference… Nothing wrong with that but I felt like providing some reaction. No need to calm down, I am easy, only a bit surprised..

that’s good, don’t Mind Corbato, he judges alot on personal preference (as reflected by types of posts), but didn’t strike me as the type who was glorifying the Viper.

Aerospace: That looks like two engines.

Calm down Flexy burger, he was merely pointing out single engine vs double engine, not necessarily bashing on the MiG-29 exclusively 😀
