== Description ==

In the late 1990s, after the fall of the USSR, many former Warsaw Pact countries were left looking for NATO-compatible fighters, but their political climate (or financial standings) did not allow for the purchase of advanced American-made airframes such as the [[F-16 (Family)|F-16]] or [[F-15 (Family)|F-15]]. To capitalise on this, SAAB decided to pursue an "upgraded" variant of their existing JAS39 aircraft which would fill two criteria: to update the Gripens to the same standard as the latest [[F-16C]]s in USAF inventory, giving them the required technology to fulfil the requirements of the Swedish Air Force at the time, and also to add more NATO interoperability and compatibility for more ordnance and mid-air refueling, allowing the new Gripen to easily integrate into many former Warsaw Pact countries which were now joining NATO. This new standard of Gripen, called the '''JAS39C''', would first take to the skies on September 6th, 2002. While this new Gripen failed to attract as many buyers as the venerable F-16, it still found fulfilment for its original task, by helping nations like Hungary and the Czech Republic to replace their outdated MiGs with a more modern, NATO-compatible airframe.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Swedish 4th generation fighter introduced in [[Update "Seek & Destroy"]] to the top ranks of the Swedish tree. Its main difference over the previous [[JAS39A]] is its new avionics and armament, primarily the introduction of a glass cockpit with massive colour displays, replacing the old analogue instruments, and more importantly, the addition of the RB 99 missile, a Swedish licensed copy of the AIM-120A AMRAAM active-radar homing missile. This new missile, which is also compatible with the BOL countermeasures dispenser (giving the Gripen over 700 countermeasures) and a Helmet-Cued Radar Boresight targeting system, coupled with the Gripen's already incredible flight performance thanks to its small profile and lightweight airframe, makes the JAS39C an extremely formidable aircraft.

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Access to RB74(M) missiles which are highly resistant to flares
* Access to very competitive RB99 missiles with an ARH seeker with very long range
* Helmet Mounted sight lets the pilot slave both IR seekers as well as the radar onto off-bore targets

* High amount of countermeasures available; a total of 732 when carrying four BOL rails on the wings
* Extreme manoeuvrability - one of the most agile fighter in the game

*

'''Cons:'''

* Low ammo count for a relatively rapid firing cannon
* Mediocre amount of ARH missiles in comparison to the competition (4 ARH missiles Vs 6 ARH missiles)

*

== History ==

In 1979, the Swedish government began searching for a new fighter, attack and reconnaissance aircraft to replace the Swedish Air Force's Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen. A new design from [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab Saab] was selected and developed as the JAS 39. The first flight of the Saab 39 was in 1988 and it has been in service with the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) since 1996. Upgraded variants (JAS 39 C/D), featuring more advanced avionics and adaptations for longer mission times, began entering service in 2003. On the export market, early models of the Gripen achieved moderate success, with sales to South Africa, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Brazil and Thailand.

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

== History ==

The J10 program began in the early 1980s under strict secrecy in order to counter new fighter aircraft from other countries with something of equal value. Originally developed purely as an interceptor, its capabilities were later extended to include air-to-ground missions. The first flight of the J-10 took place in 1996, but the program suffered a setback in 1997 due to a serious accident. As a result, the design was modified and the new prototype flew on March 23, 1998 for the first time to continue the test program. On June 28, 2002, the first pre-production model took off on its maiden flight and in 2004, the aircraft was finally put into service by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The J-10 was only offered for export to Pakistan. In april 2006, the Pakistani government announced that it would put 36 J-10s into service under the designation FC-20. On January 9, 2006, Jane's Defence Weekly reported that an advanced version of the J-10 was being planned (J-10B or Super J-10). This variant presumably took off on its maiden flight in December 2008.
