00:00welcome to security newsroom here is your today's security bullet
00:07hello folks today we will discuss the possibility of grip and fighter jet entering into ukraine war
00:13and pros and cons of its abilities and likely impacts so let's start as you must be aware
00:19that in the last week of february 2024 the hungarian parliament ratified sweden's bid to
00:25join nato ending 18 months of delays in expanding the west's main military alliance in response to
00:31russia's two-year war on ukraine this meant that scandinavian nation will be departing nato
00:36sweden becomes the 32nd nato member following its nordic neighbor finland which joined last year
00:42additions to the alliance must be unanimously approved by existing members and hungary was the
00:48last nato country that had yet to ratify sweden's accession as usa and other nato countries are
00:54supporting ukraine in its fight against russia they are providing a large military assistance to
00:58ukraine among nato's different weapons support program provision of f-16 fighting falcon was
01:04very important it meant meeting the long desire on the part of ukraine but with addition of sweden in
01:10nato the option list of finding a formidable fighter jet like sob grippen most likely grippen cd
01:16a lightweight multi-role fighter jet with cost effectiveness as a big plus can come into
01:20consideration though actual provision of grippen to ukraine may take some time yet it could be very
01:26effective here's why it can be a real game changer for ukraine and even a better choice than f-16s
01:32fighter jets cd versions being provided by allied powers to be pitched against mighty russian air force
01:37the major features of grippen that would likely impact ukraine wars include first it is an all-weather
01:45multi-role fighter jet which can be helpful to ukraine in performing multiple missions that include
01:50interception bombing tactical support to ground forces and anti-ship role second it can take off
01:56and land from short runways and can be deployed at mobile air force stations with limited crew needed
02:01to provide technical assistance as compared to other jet that required large maintenance staffers
02:06after multiple sorties third grippen possesses better electronic warfare suite that is better on paper
02:12from f-16s block cd provided to ukraine and in fact better than any lightweight platforms operating in
02:18the nato inventory more importantly this ew package is very important in ukraine-russia war as russian
02:25forces are known to possess significant electronic warfare ew capabilities moreover sweden sob is a proven
02:32name in electronic warfare weapon systems as per analyst sweden has built these capabilities keeping
02:37russian threats in mind fourth important aspect is grippen comes with aisa radar that operate in
02:43combination with helmet mounted display system thus help in tracking and locking multiple targets at
02:48once engaging few at the same time while jet need not to point even its nose cone towards target and
02:54still can engage with adversary a tactics that can be effected in contested battlefields
02:59furthermore grippen can also deploy electronic countermeasures and tow decoys and possess wide
03:04spectrum jamming capabilities that will increase its survival chances in a contested environments
03:09although its cd version lack a dedicated irst infrared search and track system its e-variant does
03:16possess the same grippen is also equipped with long-range detection systems that increases pilot
03:21situational awareness its easy flying methods and automated flying logs help pilot to focus over mission
03:28without being concerned about flying the jet through autopilot mode grippen is also equipped with limited
03:33but better sensor fusion support that helps pilot in deducing right course of actions during a complex aerial
03:39engagement lastly since ukraine war is getting costly and becoming financially not feasible grippen
03:45single sortie cost much lesser than that of f-16s and f-35s this low cost suggests that one can fly three
03:52grippens in a same budget where a single sortie of f-16 can be afforded additionally grippen is compatible
03:58with all the modern western weapon systems that include american aim 9x sidewinders and european french
04:04meteor beyond visual range missiles and anti-radition missiles etc hence grippen becomes a better options
04:11on all accounts the only negative prospect is that grippen are produced much lesser than f-16 fighter jet
04:17therefore availability of significant grippen strength would remain a question the provision of
04:22latest grippen e may not be on the table as of yet either the pilot training of grippen can also be done in
04:28quick fashion provided nato decides to provide sob grippen to ukraine like subscribe and have a great day
