Today’s feature highlights the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen demonstrating its unique roadbase capability by landing on a public highway. This remarkable operation shows how fighter aircraft can use prepared sections of road as temporary operating bases when conventional airfields are unavailable or under threat. After landing, ground crews can rapidly refuel, rearm, inspect, and prepare the Gripen for its next mission. The exercise demonstrates the aircraft’s flexibility, while showcasing the speed, coordination, and precision required to operate from a highway in a demanding environment.
