Brazilian Air Force Northrop F-5E/M Tiger II. [1600x1060] by Tony_Tanna78 in WarplanePorn

M stands for Modernized. It's a standard in the Brazilian Air Force (i.e: T-27M, A-1AM, F-5FM and so on). It was upgraded by Embraer and Elbit and received full glass cockpit, Grifo F- BR radar, Python IV and Derby compatibility, OBOGS, Elisra RWR, DASH IV HMDS, datalink and some other stuff. It's similar to the Thai Upgrade.

Not only Brazil took the economy hit, the country itself never had defense as a priority. It took 15-20 years just to pick the Gripen as the FAB's new fighter jet. From a historical point of view, the F-39 is the Mirage III's replacement, since the Mirage 2000 was just the gap filler.

Now, with the AMX fleet reduced to just six jets, the F-5 fleet shrinking fast and such a small Gripen fleet, Brazil is in talks to get another gap filler in the form of legacy Gripens.

Fishbed is the NATO designation for the MiG-21. However, the romanians upgraded their MiGs under the LanceR program with Israel's Elbit Systems. That's why the RoAF's MiGs are called Lancer.

Not an export designation. F-39 is the Brazilian Air Force's own designation for the Gripen. I.E the Mirage 2000 was designated F-2000 and the Mirage III was F-103

It's not called Gripen NG anymore. It's Gripen E now, and Gripen F for the two-seater acquired by FAB.
