The Saab JAS 39 Gripen, also known as Griffin, is a lightweight multirole fighter manufactured by Swedish aerospace giant Saab. Gripen International serves as the prime contracting organization for marketing, selling, and supporting the Gripen fighter worldwide. In service with the Swedish Air Force, Czech Air Force, Hungarian Air Force, and South African Air Force, the Gripen has been ordered by the Royal Thai Air Force, totaling 236 aircraft as of 2008. One notable feature is the Gripen's ability to take off and land on public roads, a key component of Sweden's war defense strategy. Designed to operate effectively even without air superiority, the Gripen fighter can rapidly respond to changing battlefield conditions. During the Cold War era, Swedish military planners anticipated defending against a potential Soviet invasion. Although Sweden's defensive strategy prioritized protecting its territory, they calculated that their forces could eventually be overwhelmed. To mitigate this risk, Sweden dispersed military stores throughout the country, ensuring continued capacity for inflicting damage on enemies even if installations were lost. Consequently, the Gripen fighter was required to land on public roads near these stores for quick maintenance and take off again. As a result, the Gripen can be refueled and re-armed in just ten minutes by a five-man mobile ground crew operating from a truck, before resuming sorties. In the post-Cold War era, these dispersed operation capabilities have proven invaluable for new purposes. The Gripen fighter system is designed for expeditionary operations, making it well-suited for peacekeeping missions worldwide, which has become the primary task of the Swedish Armed Forces.
