Not sure if /s, but just in case: The Gripen engine (the „power plant“) is built under license and derived from the General Electric F404 engine, which means that the US basically has a veto vote on who SAAB can sell the Gripen to. Replacing that engine with a european-built (be it Dassault or Airbus or whatever) alternative would make the Gripen a much better plane given the current state of affairs.

Not sure that link is working correctly?

This is just so hilarious and sad at the same time. For some context, the Swiss military had (after a lengthy and expensive process) selected the Gripen to replace its fleet of aging F18s. That decision was then overturned by the Swiss voters via a referendum, causing the whole process to restart and finally, years later, selecting the F35… and now we are back at square one I guess.
Who is left at this point? Japan and maybe India?
This reminds me of that one subreddit, “science diagrams that look like shitposts“ or something like that?

Very interesting read!
I'm not really into Matrix and not familiar with how it operates, but... over 14% of the yearly costs of the Foundation is the Executive Director salary, while server infrastructure in comparison is only 20%? And they need more money to run the home instance?
I guess you don't get the emotional impact as compared to having played the whole trilogy, but it was enough fun on its own that it made me come back to it all these years later!
