The Saab JAS 39 Gripen entered service in the second half of the 1990s representing a significant advancement over its predecessors such as the long-serving Saab 37 Viggen. The Swedish air superiority and multirole fighter was soon developed in a two-seat version to meet the demands of advanced pilot training. This variant retained essentially the same high performance as the single-seat fighter while offering greater operational flexibility enabling it to carry out reconnaissance and ground-attack missions. The aircrafts innovative aerodynamic design providing excellent manoeuvrability combined with strong flight performance a maximum speed of Mach 2.0 and the capability to carry a diverse and flexible offensive payload also contributed to its commercial success outside Sweden.
