I’m interested in Hungarian Gripens’ air to ground capability. I’ve found some media writeups about HuAF wanting to get precision guided weapons but for the love of me i can’t find any confirmation. No US foreign sale document on bombs, no mention of a specific contract for specific amount of money in the media, no photograps.
Which is really weird since there IS a photograph of Hungarian Gripen with a Litening pod. Shouldn’t there be bombs available as well, then?
I remember an official Saab photo of a J-39D with 2x AGM-65 Maverick and the Litening pod…
