there was talk about the Gripen being the fighter of choice if we had voted yes in '14. Never knew about the nukes though?

Yes. Sweden tried to sell it all over. The Swedish nuclear weapons program is little known, also in Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_nuclear_weapons_program …
-
as for the Gripen, it's meant to be a hell of a fighter and probably all we would have needed for defence.
-
It is very good. JAS - fight, attack, recon - all in one.
-
well, I reckon we will be revisiting 'the question' before long. We may yet see a Scottish RAF.

doesn't Sweden make fighter jets? I think it's incredible
-
Correct. The famous JAS 39 Gripen that is very good despite overrunning the budget big time and crashing on maiden flight.
-
yeah, I've heard Sweden exporting fighter jets. and Sweden is No 1 in the world in adopting EVs
-
Didn't know about EV's being good. Got nice missiles against ships and tanks though, 1st class artillery. Check out https://youtu.be/gpobrfOhohI

nice. very maneuverable.
#Sweden is in top 10 in weapons export in the world

I'd move to Sweden tomorrow if I could.

Keep in mind it is very dark and cold there during the winter though. :)
-
Yes but you make up for it with candle, lights and a thriving social democracy. So I'm cool with the dark

I remember Saab Draken / Viggen flying over me at low altitude regularily as I was young.
-
Me too. Now I never see them. Most unfortunate.

They seem to protect south of Denmark and the very north of Germany.
