Opinion: "The Gripen E pilot will be lucky if he even sees the Su-57"

The pilot of the Swedish Gripen E may not even notice the Russian Su-35 and Su-57.

The provocative statement from the Swedish Ministry of Defense that the newest Swedish fighter Gripen E will become the "killer" of the Russian Su-30, Su-35 and Su-57 combat aircraft was quickly criticized by experts. According to analysts, the Swedish fighter has no chance of winning against the Russian Su-30SM and Su-35, let alone the much more powerful fifth-generation Su-57 fighter.

“The Swedish Air Force commander Mats Helgesson probably lives in a parallel Universe, if he believes that the Gripen E fighter can be compared in power with the Russian Su-35 and Su-57. At best, the Gripen E pilot will be able to approach the Russian combat aircraft over a distance of 50-80 kilometers, at which point everything will be over for him. If a pilot of a Swedish combat aircraft notice a Russian fighter, it will already be a miracle for Swedish aircraft manufacturers. ”, - notes Avia.pro specialist, commenting on the outcome of the air combat of two fighters.

Analysts point out that Sweden has never been famous for any innovative military technical solutions in the field of aviation, and therefore the words of the Swedish Air Force commander Mats Helgesson are nothing more than an attempt to demonstrate the importance of the Swedish Air Force.

Two of our pilots are singing a song, - "Tell me what has fallen? -" Mirages, Mirages. "
