“With a population equal to London, it is the only European country other than France that can produce its own fighter planes.”

- True.

However this is not only about a belief in Capitalism, it’s also about Sweden disposing of a certain type of advanced industry, cooperation with countries like the US and The UK, certain historical reasons and general national defence policies.

If Sweden had took the present path (a Conservative government, tax cuts and making a healthy business climate top priority) already in the early 1970’s, Sweden today would’ve been richer and our fighter planes even better.

I love Sweden. If I had to leave the US, once upon a time, I would have put Sweden at the top of my list. However, from here, other than the high personal taxes and a socialist view, it looks like there's a bit of a muslim problem to be dealt with.

I love the Swedish approach to fighters. The Saab Gripen is an excellent delta design. It'll be interesting to see what their next gen aircraft will be.
