FYI
Describing technology using generations as the Americans do does not describe combat capability.
Stealth/low signature is the only clear feature that really places the F-35 in the 5th generation compared to the Gripen E.
The important thing to understand is that the Gripen E and the F-35 are based on completely different survival philosophies:
F-35: “avoid detection” → passive survival through low signature (stealth)
Gripen E: “deny targeting / break kill chains” → active survival through advanced electronic warfare (EW)
The F-35 was designed over 30 years ago and its structural stealth forms only suppress x-band radar frequencies (8–12 GHz). X-band radars were introduced in the early 2000s with the F-22 as the first fighter with the x-band AN/APG-77 radar and also among the air defense systems of the time. The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin could probably never have dreamed of the development that has taken place in the development and design of modern radar systems with multi-static radars supported by passive sensors. But the F-35's structural stealth shape comes with a cost, the aerodynamics are poor and it is slow, consumes a lot of fuel and the climbing characteristics are poor. Already now the Globaleye AEW&C has S-band radar which the F-35/F-22 structural stealth shapes are not designed to suppress. If you combine for example the GlobalEye AEW&C with Saab Giraffe ground-based air defense radars and Saab Sirius passive sensors and network them via data link, the Gripen does not even need to have its radar turned on at all but receives all information via data link and can fight stealth fighter aircraft and can defend itself against stealth aircraft with its EW

@MalcolmNance Was this the scouting squad? Looking at the type of aircraft used it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the Venezuelan tanker…

#Greenland ALERT: Multiple news sources in DC and Alaska are reporting the 11th Airborne Brigade has alerted two battalions, 1,500 troops, to be ready to move to "Minnesota." This is a really bad attempt at Strategic Deception.
I warned several times this year that alerting this specific unit for deployment is a High confidence, UNAMBIGUOUS indicator of a Greenland invasion.
This also means SOF units are very likely quietly training and mobilizing for the mission to seize Greenland by force.
Hang on. Let's see if exposure makes Trump back down.

@NilssonPM Flera källor i DC och Alaska rapporterar nu att 11th Airborne, 1500 soldater har försatts i Red Alert och flyttas till en utskeppningsbas i USA. Enligt experter är detta en förberedelse för invasion.

Reporters were briefly stunned Thursday when President Trump explained the full list of concessions Russia must make under his new peace plan. According to Trump, Moscow’s only obligation is to politely promise they will stop doing the exact things they are currently doing, at some undefined point in the future, if they feel like it.
