A requested creation from perhaps months ago, I had tests and such so yeah here it is. The Saab Gripen Jas 39 is manufactured by Swedish manufacturer Saab AB. Having a single engine, the Gripen can perform multi-role missions from air defense to ground attack. Fly-By-Wire controls are mimicked by FT systems as my Gripen is horribly balanced yet surprisingly agile. Weapons include 4 Gaurdians modified to act somewhat like a Aim 9x, 4 Interceptors for long range targets, and 2 Cleavers for Air to Ground. AG1 = lights, AG2 = Missile Jettison, AG3 = Slats, AG4 = Jettison Cleaver. Dogfighting tip, always jettison Cleavers to allow yourelf to be more manuverable. Jettisoning the rest of the missiles is also recommened if they are not of use.

    @IcePhoenix ye I wanted to make it realistic as possible so I hid the front cleaver missile in the fuselage so it wouldn’t flip

    For anyone wondering abt the main Landing gear, mirror the right one over. For whatever reason it's not aligned
