The Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen was developed to replace the Saab 37 Viggen and the Saab 35 Draken in the Swedish Air Force. It is a light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft, and the latest version Saab 39 NG (Next Generation) is one of the most advanced fighter jets in use today. The Gripen has been exported to a number of countries.
