Gotta give the Swedes credit , they have really created a lot of potential with the Grippen.
It’s a very effective little aircraft and by far the best bang for the buck of any modern fighter design.

In short, Northrup's F-20 Tigershark program was the right idea, but being designed around an old airframe design, nobody wanted to buy the plane. The Saab JAS 39 Grippen uses the same GE F404 engine as the F-20, but designed around a very modern airframe.
