Quoted from Gripenblogs.com (25/1/2018), Gripen C / D belongs to the Royal AU of Thailand has been dubbed for static and flying display in Singapore. This means good news for fans of this jet in the country who want to see up close the figure of Gripen. Although never showed its fangs in the air of Indonesia, true flight Gripen AU Thailand ever stop by at Ngurah Rai Lanud following the event Pitch Black 2012 in Australia.

As for the campaign in Indonesia, Saab in Indo Defense 2014 has ever brought Gripen flight simulator. In our note, in addition to the sophisticated provision of the control / navigation sensor system and the ToT (Transfer of Technology) scheme, there are several points that are added value in Gripen's offerings for Indonesia, such as:

  1. The weapon system
    Although not part of a NATO member, the Gripen jet is designed to carry almost all of the latest weapon (missile and rocket) weapon systems, both US and Western Europe. Means can be compatible with the stock of weapons prepared for F-16 A / B C / D jet TNI AU.

  2. Operational Cost per Hour

  1. Combat radius
    With a maximum speed of Mach 2 (2,204 km / h), Jas 39 Gripen C / D has a combat radius of up to 800 km, special for air battle operations mission, combat radius reaches 100 km. Combat radius certainly can not be beat flat, talking about this will depend on the configuration of weapons carried by aircraft in a mission, such as CAP (Combat Air Patrol) missions and ground attack will bring different consequences on the performance of the aircraft.

  2. Combat to Aju Base
    Although it has been equipped with water refueling system facilities, the ability to easily deploy on the aju base remains an important concern, especially for countries with large areas, and minimal air tanker support.

A Gripen squadron can be deployed only with the support of a C-130 Hercules unit. Support of one unit of Hercules for 10 Gripen units can take place for four weeks. This confirms that Gripen is an economical fighter jet in terms of logistical supportsetia_antik-20180131-0001.jpg
