And the griper is 6 miljard euro cheaper than the joint suck fighter and at least as capable as the f22 f35.
The griper is like the ariel atom light fast quick on good handling.
And the f22 f35 are like a the old american muscle cars of years gone by big engine and to much weight and my last reasons are the grip and do stol take off's and landings and can take off from rough roads and it's much better looking than both the f22 and f35.

F-22 is already in service.
F-35 is brand spanking new, when it comes into service (which is slated for 2011), the Gripen will be outdated by at least 15 years. Not to mention the development of the Gripen began 14 years before the F-35, starting with a much older mindset and technology.
The Gripen is in
no way capable as the F-22 or even the F-35. It possesses neither the F-22 and the F-35's stealth capabilities, nor the F-35's flexibility.
The car analogy doesn't work for jet fighters.
Dog fights have no place in modern air-to-air combat. An F-22 will shoot down a Gripen before it can be fully registered on the screen.
And I should have you know that F-35 does not weigh more than the Gripen. In fact, in certain configurations, it's lighter than a normal Gripen.
And the Gripen's STOL is inferior to the F-35's STOVL technology, which makes vertical landing possible.
Gripen is a pretty plane, there's no doubt about that, but it's not designed as an air
superiority fighter. That's why it's so much cheaper. If anything, the Eurofighter is more of a challenge, and is
much prettier.
