Saab JAS 39 Gripen NG [UPDATED]

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by the Swedish aerospace company Saab. It was designed to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force.

As requested by steam user W.D Gaster and vorcusbro

A lot of people here thought that instead of Su-35, the Gripen were the ideal choices for Indonesian Air Force especially after Swedish defence vendor Saab was just unveiled the first of three JAS-39E Gripen Next Generation (NG) multi-role fighters at its Linköping site this week.

The Gripen has a delta wing and canard configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire flight controls. This aircraft is small, agile, has low block count, and its performance on my computer are significantly better than my last aircraft 70%-80% compared to 30%-50%. Too bad it was too long to fit in the bounding box.

Since it was multirole, I equipped it with two missile that can hit air target, four dumb-bombs to decimate ground area, and a cannon.
