Saab lied about the Gripen operating costs.

Switzerland recently chose F-35 over Gripen because cost per flight hour of Gripen is $27-30k. They were told less than $10k during factory tour.

The realistic cost makes it on par with much more capable 2-engine fighters like Rafale and Eurofighter.

2030 and โ‚ฌ2.7 billion is rather ambitious given history of the A-26 program.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russian opposition activist and chess legend Garry Kasparov on the American-Russian "peace proposal":

Four years Ukraine is fighting for the whole Europe.
NATO was built to fight only one war, not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria. One war to save free Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine is the only country that is fighting this war and we're still discussing should we include them or not? Ukraine is the only country that is fulfilling NATO's destiny.

Putin, Xi Jinping, all others, they are celebrating it. And by the way, Russia has North Koreans, they have Cubans, they have Africans, volunteers. And we're still talking about escalation? We have everything, military, political, economic powers on our side, and we're still losing the war.

Thanks to Ukraine, Russia is not fulfilling Putin's dream of restoring a Russian empire. But if, God forbid, Ukraine is forced to make this deal, then, very clear, Putin will realize his dream. And then, guys, you're next
