Thailand’s Air Force said in a statement issued Wednesday that it is prepared for “deep-strike operations inside Cambodia” if it verifies that Phnom Penh intends to keep using heavy weapons. It has already outlined “high-value military targets” and says it is ready to hit “any designated target” once it...

🇸🇪🇺🇦 Ukraine’s Lesson: Why the F 35 Is the Wrong Tool for a Real War Modern air power debates often obsess over the most advanced aircraft. Ukraine has learned something far more important: war is not about the most impressive jet. It is about which aircraft can keep flying when everything around it is under attack. That is why Ukraine is looking toward a future built around the Gripen E. Ukraine could have continued with F 16s and Mirage 2000s. They already have experience, infrastructure, and trained personnel. Instead, they are prioritizing a fighter designed from the ground up for survival in a hostile, missile saturated environment. That choice tells you everything you need to know. Gripen E represents a different logic. It is not built to depend on large, permanent air bases. It is built to disappear. A useful way to understand the problem with the F 35 is to imagine a luxury hospital operating room. It is filled with world class equipment and brilliant specialists. But it only works inside a clean, stable building with uninterrupted power, supply chains, and security. Move that same equipment into the middle of a disaster zone, and it quickly becomes fragile. The F 35 works best inside a controlled ecosystem: long runways, heavy maintenance, predictable logistics, and time on the ground between missions. In a real war, those conditions are exactly what the enemy targets first. Gripen E is closer to a battlefield field hospital. It is designed to operate with minimal support, from short and improvised runways, with fast turnaround and a small, mobile crew. It can land, refuel, rearm, and take off again before the enemy has time to react. And it does not need to return to the same place twice. That difference is decisive. When air bases are under constant surveillance and missile threat, survivability comes from dispersion and tempo. Gripen E can take off from unexpected locations, strike, land somewhere else entirely, and be ready again quickly. That makes it hard to track, hard to target, and hard to neutralize. This is not about generation labels. The F 35 is a fifth generation fighter. Gripen E is often described as generation 4.5, but it integrates key technologies normally associated with newer generations. More importantly, it is cheap enough to fly often and simple enough to keep in the air. Ukraine understands this because it has no choice. It has learned that air power is not about having the most advanced aircraft. It is about having aircraft that survive the first strike, the second strike, and the hundredth strike. That is why the lesson from Ukraine is uncomfortable but clear: the F 35 may be impressive, but in a real war, it is the wrong tool to rely on alone. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv Gandalv
