assembly of two new grief and e fighters for the brazilian air force and has two more in production
mikhail franzen vice president of marketing and sales told brazilian newspaper valor economico
fighters will be sent to brazil in the coming months in pairs
the first two aircraft are expected to follow the ship in november while the other two
are expected to arrive in early 2022 according to a statement from the air force
the forecast is that the first four gripen e-series aircraft will complete their production
phase and will be presented to fab in november this year with the first two being delivered to
brazil then to start activities at the greet and flight test center at gauvi alpe showtu where fab
ambry air and saab test pilots will conduct test flights until military certificates are ready
the other two aircraft should be delivered in the first half of 2022
explained the fab the air force ordered 36 greeping ef fighters some of which will be
assembled by ambryar at gavi alpe shotu in the interior of sao paulo the four
new aircraft are single-seat aircraft that received the f-3090 designation in brazil
while the griping was being produced saab ambrier and fab conducted pilot
training and military certification of the aircraft in sweden and brazil
the first f-39 fighter was delivered by the swedish manufacturer a year ago
the supersonic jet arrived by ship in the port of vitasi in the south of the country on september
20 and took off from the runway at navigantese airport four days later bound for gavi alpe shoto
it has since been used in several test flights to achieve operational capability in the fab
the gripping e series incorporate cutting-edge technology to defeat enemies and advance future
threats grip in the upgrades include the ability to carry external reconnaissance pods
guns and tanks and irsd sensors and a new high-pressure turbine
high-pressure compressor and that philosophy has carried over into the gripen e which
ulcavist calls a smarter integrated system of systems the fighter has two customers at the
moment sweden will start with 60 and brazil will get 36 8 in the twin seat f variant
but it is a contender in at least three fighter replacement competitions globally
the grp's enhanced capabilities advance the dna of a fighter intended to meet an operating
environment that the swedish air force considers cluttered contested connected constrained and
overcrowded with state-of-the-art fighter aircraft and air defense systems like its predecessor the
gripen e aims to detect and disrupt threats early in the kill chain through an improved
avionics system that combines data from the active electronically scanned array radar system on a
swashplate passive infrared search and tracking a data link that customized and enhanced eu systems
