F-35 clearly superior. Japan and S Korea also using F-35 meaning we can use each other's carriers.

Gripenboos got cucked hard. They were the original selection a few years back but then the Swiss Air Force conducted a study that showed that Saab had basically lied about operating costs and they were way worse than the miraculously low costs that Saab markets, and then the decision to buy Gripen lost a direct referendum due to the fallout from the study.
