Commercial for the JAS Gripen, the worlds most advanced multi-role fighter. - General

[video=youtube;oKlQyPOiRuE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKlQyPOiRuE[/video] It's video is ok, but it's a bit much americanish for being a commercial for a Swedish fighter.

Awww yeah.

I love my country. [IMG]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4nlf5geGf1r40jruo1_400.gif[/IMG]

That was fucking incredible - fuck EF, I'm backing Gripen now.

Coolest fucking job ever.

The US needs to scrap the F-35 and buy these.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;39181450]BLESS [B]KINGDOM OF SWEDEN [U]BEST[/U][/B] NATION ON THIS PLANET.[/QUOTE] Nope, Finland is still rated the best. Which reminds me, check the newsweek site relating to the "best countries" and read the bitter-toned articles that have been popping up ever since :v:

Its probably to market it to other countries, hence the 'americanish' All sorts of arms companies do this shit also.

anyone wanna go to freedom town across border river?

Are those Swedish actors attempting to sound American? Sweden, why are you such a silly country?

That was a badass video. Do you really need a trailer for a fighter though?

I've always loved how the gripen was as an airplane, especially those canards.

"I have you now" :v:

[QUOTE=Coppermoss;39181390]The US needs to scrap the F-35 and buy these.[/QUOTE] We rarely go overseas for our primary fixed wing aircraft. The replacement for the OH-58 Kiowa (Only the really old A/C models though) being awarded to Eurocopter is very strange.

i was expecting a transformer or something when i saw "multi-role fighter"

sweden's dumb cool plane though

"there is a man here" "switching to infrared" suddenly 50 tanks "this is not good"

You know I've always wondered who these advertisements are meant to appeal to. It's obvious that the only people who are going to buy a multimillion-dollar aircraft are old men from the military, so why do the companies make their ads look as if they're trying to appeal to a younger audience?

yes let's praise a human killing machine nice tech though

[QUOTE=Apache249;39189974]Because the old military men don't simply outgrow fighter jets.[/QUOTE] yeh I guess to some extent we're all wooed by pretty displays of military-techno kraft-macht regardless of age/expertise

What I want to know is, if these already come equipped with satellite comms, long range capability, and the capacity to operate globally, why the hell is my country (Canada) buying F-35s? The damn things won't work for us until years after they are finished.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFqtisxNaZY[/media] (It's legit, I saw it as a web ad while I was there.) But yeah, pretty good commercial, if a little overdone for one that's never going on TV.
