Putin's jets roar; How Gripen could operate from unprepared roads & wreak havoc

Vladimir Putin's lethal fighters & bombers are thundering over the skies in Ukraine. With depleted strength & aged aircraft, the Ukrainian Air Force is in the doldrums. Gripen requires minimal personnel & ground support equipment for dispersed operations. The Gripen fighter can operate from a runway no wider than a small, unprepared road. Electronic warfare suite optimised specifically for countering Russian jets & radars. Importantly, the Gripen C was designed from the outset with an anti-ship capability. Gripen performs tasks in all combat roles: Air-to-air, air-to-surface & reconnaissance. The pilot can change role while airborne, or operate in multiple roles simultaneously.
