Brazil signed a contract with saab for technology transfer.
This means brazil has the source code of the gripen.

Luis Inacio is the current president of brazil.
He is also a good friend of Putin.

What prevents him from leaking the source code of the gripen to Putin?

Putin could easily mess up with the IFF of the gripen. Wouldn't be possible to make then all the russian airplanes disappear from the gripen's radar?

Maybe there is a secret kill switch, and Putin is going to know the secret code.

Brazil is a legitimate power in aerospace. They won't turn over any major aerospace advantage assets they have to any other significant power. They're big enough that they'll just use this for power plays to negotiate better conditions for themselves. The Brazilians were about to select a Ukrainian upgrade for their M60 tanks before the Russian invasion and I believe they're working with the Turks/Ukrainians on other MIC projects. Like China, Brazil is better off not fully backing Ukraine or Russia. Though it looks like they may end up helping Ukraine in the long term as that would mean a gigantic contract for Guaranis and Gripens if they cede this faux neutral position.

eehhh, he said untrue about the WORLD infrastructure running linux. I was an infra consultant for a major east-coast hospital and sure, we had a some virtualized linux boxes up. I mean everyone has at least one since every hypervisor that matters is Linux (RIP in peace, hyper-v). The bulk though? Windows and Azure. And we were someonewhat cutting edge on our side of the nation as far as infra migrations and updates. In ~2021 we had like...3 vms older than ws2016, which, if they were turned off, would have taken a week for a very small number of people to realize that they were gone.

Then again 90% of my experience is with east coast healthcare systems.

That's not how IFF works. You still get a primary target, but the IFF will flag the target as friendly if the interrogation comes back correct. Bluefor can change their IFF codes daily or even per-mission, so unless someone is leaking the codes to Russia every fucking day the Russians still wouldn't be able to follow through on such a plan. And even if they did, it'd be perfidy and therefore a war crime to conduct an attack by such means.

They could feasibly jam IFF if they wanted, and probably are already to some extent.

The Grippen is a terrible choice for anyone. We could talk about its failing for weeks, but I'll just go for the obvious low hanging fruit.
You know the F18. The Grippen has one of those engines inside of it that the F18 has two of.
So the Grippen is what you would call a light fighter, which means it carries fuck all in terms of armament. That's not a huge problem in and of itself. Like, the JF17 is the example of this done correctly - a cheap piece of shit that works and zips around and there's a lot of them because they are cheap and simple.
The Grippen is not cheap, the Grippen is not simple. The price is hard to pin down, but the complete package required to own and operate one costs somewhere in the rough ballpark of a Super Hornet or Rafale, both of which are outright superior.
This is why it has been so extremely difficult for SAAB to get an export contract and they barely eked one out in Brazil where they had to hand over a complete tech transfer.
Also the engine is American so the US can fuck with anyone operating the jet through whatever arcane legal niggery they do.

Ukraine selected the Gripen E after comparing them against the Rafale and modern F-16s. I can't see why they would do that if they cost the same while also being outright superior.

>I can't see why they would do that if they cost the same while also being outright superior.
Because the F16V and Rafale jets aren't actually available in reality. Those jets actually exist and would have already been delivered if that was in any way practical.
The F16 that were delivered were old models with very rough modernization packages.
>>
>>64437679
>not actually available in reality
You’re telling me France isn’t able to complete a order of 100 jets in a 15 year period? This isn’t something Ukraine is expecting to take a year, or even two. Sweden themselves said it will take 3 years until first deliveries are even made. This is a future, most likely after war delivery.
>>
>>64437738
France just put in the order for those jets for their own air force and they should still have a delivery backlog for various exports that will last for 5+ years.
And there are higher priority nations filling up that backlog.
But that's not the real problem anyway, it's more that they don't want to make any deals with Ukraine when they don't trust them and can't count on them being a country or at least a country allowed to own airplanes in such a long time frame.

Right now Ukraine is operating their planes, including F-16, the way that the Gripen is designed and optimized to be operated. Improvised airstrips with mobile garages to do repairs. You are correct. that out of all the modern western jet-fighters, the Gripen is the weakest one overall when in the air. Although the difference between a modern Gripen-e and a modern F-16 is practically nonexistent. But having a better aircraft you can´t get in the air, is worth nothing. Sweden designed their aircraft with the assumption that stationary airfields and high maintenance aircrafts would not work in a fight with a superior enemy like Russia. We are seeing their theory play out in real time in Ukraine and they are right.
Even Finland and Norway are training their F-35´s and F-18´s to operate on improvised airstrips. Norway had a special parachute developed just for their F-35´s being able to land on smaller airstrips, but the F-35, F-18, F-16 and Rafale will never perform that task as well as the Gripen.
If every single jet-fighter in Ukraine was replaced with a Gripen and a pilot who could fly that Gripen, the mission rate would increase dramatically compared to what it is now.

I won´t say that Israel didn´t beat Iran fair and square, they did. But they were also lucky they had the world´s only superpower helping shoot down all those missiles. Ukraine won´t have that luxury and they can expect in the next war that 50.000 Shahed drones and 500 missiles will be used in the first month of a new war, should it ever happen.

Utter horseshit. Literally everything in the world from F-35 to 4chan website or banking infra is running on open source linux distros underneath with open source webservers/proxys like nginx using open source AES encryption.
And its secure as fuck because EVERYONE can see the program and its in EVERYONES interest to keep things secure.
If NSA bribes Linus to approve and install a subtle backdoor into linux (which no autist nor other state actor disovers somehow ecen when its all public) then as a result all USA public infra/companies/banks will also be vulnerable. Its like shooting somebody else in the head while shooting yourself in the foot.

Regarding gripen soft - it will be useful for pidors to understand gripen capabilities, bu no, they wont hack it or something stupid like that.
