It is the least advanced of the 4x 4th generation fighters released by the Western world, but to its credit, it was created by a small country, and it has been flying the longest!

Rafale is actually even more capable, and the Eurofighter is even better than Rafale. F-22 is still top tog though.

The Gripen however can chew up and spit out probably 98% of allmost anything flying though. That includes most of what the US of A fields. Put Gripen up against any F-15 / F-16, and the gripen will be the winner if flown by a competent pilot.

Just my 2 cents.
