If you compare these airfighters with the F35... well the only one that seems better (on the paper) is the f22...

however the combat radius of the gripen seems pretty low
The gripen looks interesting but it's really untested. When was the last time the Swedes went to war. At least with the US, we road test our shit..

As for good price per capability for a small country, the SU35 is a good bargain for it's capabilities, but no one is going to buy it and then be at the whim of Mr Putin, at least no one in Europe not of the former block..
