Gripen is welcomed by NATO, it said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

We are accustomed to participating countries with certain restrictions. Our military commanders are accustomed to dealing with such, "he said at a press conference in Stockholm today.

Three Gripen planes will leave Sweden in the morning on a base in southern Europe to later participate in the Libya operation. The plan will facilitate the F 17 in Kallinge at 09

Are they that good that only three will win the war? Amazing!

My apologies, if only 10 exist, my next question is why build them at all? How much money are they a piece? I thought my nation was stupid militarily when it comes to acquisition.

Seriously, why not buy 30 MiG 29s.
