The Gripen is South Africa's newest fighter (will replace the Cheetas that were manufactured in South Africa). The Gripen is a brand new mult-role jet manufactured by Sweden. It made its debut flight in South Africa here today. For more detail on the fighter see www.gripen.com/en/GripenFighter/TheGripenFighter.htm.

See my video clips of the the fighter in action at www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_cLpPnFMMM and www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJktSCf49eg.
