Gripen for the Philippines March 2021 Brochure

One of the nice Brochures with a Philippine Theme at the 2021 Philippine Air Force (PAF) Symposium Virtual Exhibit was the latest “Gripen for the Philippines” Brochure dated March 2021 made by the Swedish Defense Manufacturer Saab AB.


You can also download the Brochure here. Saab is offering the JAS-39C/D Gripen for the PAF’s Multi-Role Fighter (MRF) Program, and highlighted the Gripen’s strengths, like its Short Field Take-Off performance, low Operating Cost, fast delivery time of only 2 Years, etc.


The Brochure also gave some details of Saab’s Philippine Office.

Meteor Missile

The Brochure also mentioned the very long range Meteor Beyond Visual Range (BVR) Missile. As was reported in the News just a couple of Days ago, the United States (US) had only approved the AIM-120-C7/8 Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile (AMRAAM) for sale to the Philippines.

The AIM-120C has a much lower range than the AIM-120D, which is the latest version but has not yet been approved for the Philippines. The Meteor has a much longer theorized range than both the AIM-120C or D Missiles.

Lockheed Martin

I just noticed also that Lockheed Martin, the Manufacturer of the F-16C Block 70/72 Aircraft being also offered for the PAF's MRF Program, does not seem to be at the PAF's 2021 Symposium Virtual Exhibit.
