My guess is the newer variant, I’d expect Gripen NG/Meteor combo to score better vs the old Su-27.
It is going to take something extra-ordinary to dodge a Meteor (and probably 2 would be used) launched at supersonic speed.
Su-27/35 is also a very big aircraft with a very big RCS making it very visible at all ranges, so i don’t expect it to take any networking Gripen squadron by surprise either.

But you fail to reliaze Rus new ECM’s are able to jam new western Radars.

I think it just means 1 Gripen lost for every 6 Flankers downed.

That’s my interpretation.
Impressive numbers, nevertheless. The Gripen NG is quickly becoming my favorite Euro-canard. And if I were in charge of upgrading Eastern European air forces, I’d have a hi-lo mix with the Gripen NG as my choice for the Lo portion, with the -35BM rounding out the top.

This simulation is not true in anyway, it sounds just like the exaggerated 3:1 victory of the F-86 over the MiG-15.
I can show the same type of stats showing the U.S.N. being defeated by soviet era diesel subs even in the 21 century.

Err… no it isnt. Rather a first gen.
But your idea is interesting. Would love to see what an F-86 upgraded to the level you suggest would look like. Where is Paralay when we need him??

I thought P-51’s were 2 Gen fighters and the F-86 was a 3 Gen fighter?

Remember that an F-86 was designed in the late 1940’s using mainly captured technology from the second world war, it could barely achieve mach 1, much less the high speed stresses that a modern dogfight would entail. The material performance that an f-86 was rated for would barely be up to any comparable standard to a 3rd or 4th gen fighter. Lastly, there wasnt really much space in an F-86 to mount avionics such as a radar, etc

F-86 IS a 3 Gen fighter!!

UHMMM, very interesting, I always thought it was cheaper to upgrade.

Of course it would.Check out the MiG-21Bison of the Indian airforce, its pretty much the upgrade you described but using Modern Russian equvilants, well except the ram coatings i think.Though the F86 i assume would be harder to pick up on radar because of its smaller dimensions?Could be wrong.Just one thing, were are you going to house the radar and associated avionics and cooling systems?

I don’t know about all that stuff, I was just wondering, scince its so expensive to build new Planse why not just massivly upgrade, 3 and 4 Gen aircrafts

But during WW2 the tech put in to those planes were top of the line for that time and they still produced 34k + of them????

uh the thread was. best looking generation, not best looking aircraft

Sorry, I’d have to then say F-22 absolutely.

As a Russian tech lover even I have to admitt, 60 35’s is far to little, I can’t see why Russian can’t build 600 35 airframes by year’s end, upgrade all Tu-22M’s with Zhuk-MFS’s, upgrade all MiG-31’s with Ebris-E’s, I’m confussed during WW2 U.S. / Russia built over 34k fighters what in sam hill is stopping Rus/U.S. from upgrading / building in mass now a days????????????

[QUOTE=Austin;1398158]I don’t think its a bad idea , but the right thing to do

There is the general perception that No Nukes means large scale war and this idea or theory is propagated by those to want to maintain and sustain their large nuclear arsenal.

Nations go to war because of irresponsible leaders who have ambitions or have some wrong idea about them self. Responsible nation , leaders and civilian don’t go for war as an option , least of all large scale war like WW2.

Or else why do you think the world is so against North Korea or Iran having nuclear weapons , when country like India have gone away with it.

I personally think world is better without Nuclear weapons just as it is without Chemical and Biological weapons

Reponsible nations don’t go to war for
1. Oil (Iraq)
2. Many different types of natural resources (Vietnam)
3. Siding with it’s past enemies to against it’s allies for more natural resources (Serbia)
4. Remote Control planes into buildings to build pipelines (Afgahnistan)
