1/2) #SAAB is reportedly in talks with Canada and Portugal over potential Gripen procurement, after both countries expressed unease in recent weeks with their programs to acquire US-produced F-35s.
2/2) Saab had previously advertised the "#Gripen for #Canada" program as it competed to replace Canada's fleet of aging F-18s.

Overt Defense · Colombia Selects Saab's Gripen E/F As Next Fighter AircraftColombian President Gustavo Petro announced April 2 that he had signed a letter of intent with the Swedish government to purchase the aircraft.
Colombia chooses the JAS-39 #Gripen as their next fighter aircraft, replacing the Kfir, an Israeli variant of the Mirage 5. This is the deal USA was supposed to veto based on Gripen using an American GE F414 engine.

The Gripen was our second choice after the F-35 but now that we are re-examining the buy of F-35's I hope SAAB is re-tooling to use a European engine.

The #Saab #Gripen is the likely second choice for countries looking at alternatives to the F-35.

Ok... to put an end to that discussion if the #F35 / #F-35 #fighter has a #killswitch or not:
IT DOES NOT EFFING MATTER!
Those jets need a TON of maintenance and parts to keep flying. They need the Intel to find their targets which can only be fed to them using #US controlled systems.
Agent #Trump just needs to decide cease supplying those and the jets become WAY less capable immediately and will stop flying pretty damn quick.

@mcc We have an excellent company called SAAB here in the Nordics, which produces a jet fighter specially designed for northern latitutes called the JAS-39 Gripen.
Canada should check it out. Here is the brochure, in case you’re in the mood for some online shopping

StartFighter Systems | Air | SaabFighting in modern conflict requires being, persistent and constantly one step ahead of potential threats and opponents. Rapid technological progress has driven the development of longer reach weapons and radars with greater precision, low signature targets and advanced electronic warfare.
#Portugal has decided it will not replace its current F-16 fighter jets with F-35s, and will instead consider European alternatives such as the #Rafale or #Gripen.
In a statement, the Ministry of defence stated: "The predictability of our allies must be taken into account when making procurement decisions" (updated translation)
