00:00At the end of June, an event that had been anticipated since almost the beginning of the war took place.
00:05Russian-Ukrainian. Former Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov and the Swedish Saab-AB group
00:11They announced the signing of a definitive contract for the supply of 16 Saab-Yas-39EF homes
00:19Gripen fighter jets for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Delivery is scheduled for 2029-2030. Furthermore
00:26Ukraine will receive equipment as well as logistical and technical support for the aircraft.
00:32That is, everything necessary for the full operational capability of the Gripen. By the time these aircraft are received,
00:39Ukraine will already have experience in operating these machines, as it is planned that
00:44will receive the first 16 Gripen C-D aircraft in early 2027. These are relatively small aircraft.
00:51older aircraft, whose potential can still be compared to that of the F-16 Block 20 MLU available in
00:58the Ukrainian Armed Forces, although unfortunately not with the Russian Shushkis.
01:03The case of the YAS-39EF is different. It's not simply the best Swedish home rocket. Today
01:11It's one of the most powerful houses in Europe. Both lots don't seem numerous, but this
01:16This is just the beginning. Ultimately, Ukraine hopes to receive up to 150 fourth-class houses from Sweden.
01:23generation, mostly YAS-39EF. The threat from Russian aircraft grows every month. According to the State
01:32Ukrainian Major, in June a new record was set in the number of guided bombs used by the
01:38Russian Aerospace Forces. Last month, the Russians dropped 8,266 aerial bombs, 10% more than
01:48In May, that is, more than 270 pumps per day. The main pump carrier of the UMPK system,
01:56as well as the longer-range UMP-B D-30SN, it is the Su-34 frontline bomber. Due to the
02:05long
02:05The range of these bombs, which in the case of the D-30S-INI reaches 100 kilometers, allows them to attack without
02:12enter the range of most Ukrainian air defense systems. The most
02:18An effective way to counter it is through fighter jets. At first glance, the bulky and unwieldy Su-34
02:26It seems like an ideal target, easily destroyed with air-to-air missiles. However, the bombers
02:33Russians don't fly alone. They are escorted by various types of fighter jets, among which the most advanced,
02:40Among mass-produced aircraft, at least, the Su-35S is the most impressive. This aircraft outperforms both the MiG-31BM and the MiG-31BM.
02:48Soviet modernized aircraft such as the more recent Su-31SM, 30SM-2, mainly in avionics and performance
02:56flight. As for the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter, the Russians have several dozen
03:03Units that can only be considered standard equipment conditionally. Although they can perform missions
03:10Combat aircraft do not constitute the mainstay of the Russian air force and will not be in the short term.
03:16The Russians have many more Su-35Ss, between 130 and 140. Ukraine recently shot one down.
03:25apparatus of this type, and in total, during the armed aggression, Moscow has lost about 10 machines
03:31of this model. The losses are not critical. In the last year alone, the Russian Federation has produced
03:37At least 14 new Su-35s. In other words, the Su-35 has been, is, and will continue to be the best.
03:46Russian fighter for quite some time. At the same time, the Haas 39E-F will become the best fighter of
03:54Ukraine, and over time it has every chance of becoming one of the main aircraft
04:00of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' combat aircraft. It is difficult to compare these aircraft because they belong
04:06to different weight categories. Even so, it's possible that Ukraine won't have a fighter jet.
04:12Better. Let's try to determine if the new Gripen has any chance against the Su-35C.
04:19Next to the Su-35, the Gripen resembles a passenger car compared to a Kamas. The machine
04:26The Russian aircraft weighs 19,000 kilograms, while the Haas 39E-F weighs 8,000 kilograms. The largest
04:34amount
04:34The amount of fuel the Su-35 can carry gives it a combat radius of between 1,500
04:40and 1,600 kilometers, compared to an average of about 1,300 kilometers for the Haas 39E-F Gripen.
04:48The difference at first glance is not very large, but in the case of the Swedish plane, this figure
04:54This is only achieved by combining it with external fuel tanks. Combat load
04:59The Su-35 weighs up to 8,000 kilos, while the Gripen weighs up to 7,200 kilos.
