Though the Saab 37 Viggen was proving a success, with typical foresight, Sweden requested design work to be begun on its replacement as early as 1979; this aircraft, referred to as the “JAKT” (a Swedish contraction for a multirole fighter) would replace both the Viggen and the earlier Saab 35 Draken, which was still in service as an interceptor. Design work began in 1982, with the name “Gripen” (Griffin) chosen by the Swedish public in the same year, along with the designation JAS 39.
Unlike the Viggen, which had four separate versions to fufill attack, air defense, antishipping, and reconnaissance roles, the Gripen was to combine them into a single airframe. Like the Viggen, Saab had been given a demanding task to produce a multirole fighter that would still retain the Viggen’s ability to operate away from airfields for a protracted amount of time.
Saab settled on a close-coupled delta/canard design, similar to the Viggen’s, but with far more streamlining, with a deliberately aerodynamically unstable airframe controlled through fly-by-wire. One complaint of the Viggen was its poor visibility to the rear, and so the Gripen had an F-16 style bubble canopy. Like the Viggen, it used a Volvo-license built American engine, the General Electric F404 that powered the F-18. The PS-05/A radar was based on the successful Blue Vixen radar used in the Sea Harrier, and was designed from the start to be AMRAAM compatible. To meet the requirement of short-field landing, the Gripen did not share the thrust reverser of the Viggen: instead, large speedbrakes were placed on the rear of the aircraft and combined with a robust brake system, along with the ability to tilt the canards directly downwards, turning them into giant spoilers. The Gripen can actually stop in less time than the Viggen; tests at Saab estimate that the Gripen is actually capable of landing on a carrier without an arrestor hook.
Cost overruns and delays led to the JAS 39’s first flight being delayed until April 1987, with service entry in the Flygvapnet beginning in 1988. It instantly replaced the Draken, though the Viggen would be gradually phased out over a nearly 20-year period until 2007. Unlike earlier efforts, where Sweden’s traditional neutrality had hamstrung Saab’s attempt to export their aircraft, the Gripen was aggressively marketed, with Saab teaming up with British Aerospace. This would eventually win sales to five nations. Today, Saab is marketing the advanced Gripen New Generation, which would update the aircraft considerably with new avionics, heavier warload and longer range, and the uprated F414G engine, allowing the Gripen to supercruise past Mach 1 without use of an afterburner. The JAS 39 today is Sweden’s sole combat aircraft, and a very popular one.
Since my fictional air force used Viggens, it was natural for them to adopt the Gripen (I'm a sucker for Eurocanard designs anyhow). I used the Revell 1/144 scale kit, which turned out very nice for its small size (it's smaller than a F-16). Having seen the camouflage applied to South African Mirage F.1AZs, I used that--green and brown over light gray. It's armed with two drop tanks, two AGM-65 Mavericks, and two AIM-9L Sidewinders.
INS Betwa is the second Brahmaputra-class guided missile frigate built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) at Calcutta.
Her primary armament is the Zvezda Kh-35 Uran (SS-N-25 'Switchblade') anti-ship missile.

As demand for crossovers and SUVs increases, the car makers are happily supplying it with an ever increasing variety of shapes and models. BMW's X range, for instance, has expanded since the first X5 appeared in 1999 to include the X1, X3, X4, X6 and, since 2018, the X2.
Based on the front drive platform that also forms the basis for some MINI models, the X2 is available as either front- or all-wheel-drive and offers both petrol and diesel engines. Its design is far sportier than any other BMW crossover/SUV, however, and includes the iconic emblem on the D pillar - heritage of earlier cars.
The car pictured, the xDrive20d, is a an all-wheel-drive trim powered by a 2,0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine producing a healthy 190 PS.

HMS Naiad (F39) was a Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). Like the rest of the class, Naiad was named after a figure of mythology. Naiad was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders of Scotstoun. She was launched on the 4th November 1963 and commissioned on the 15th March 1965.
In 1966, Naiad became the leader of the Northern Ireland Squadron and subsequently deployed to the Far East and South America. In 1970, Naiad deployed to the Far East, and while there, participated in the Beira Patrol, designed to prevent oil reaching the landlocked Rhodesia via the then Portuguese colony of Mozambique. She performed her second patrol the following year. The Beira Patrol would be a regular deployment for the RN until 1975.
In January 1973, Naiad began her modernisation that included her one twin 4.5-in gun being replaced by the Australian designed Ikara anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missile system. The modernisation was completed in 1975. The following year, Naiad undertook a Fishery Protection Patrol during the Third Cod War, and while there, was rammed by the Icelandic gunboat Tyr causing some hull damage. In 1977, Naiad, like many other Leanders, took part in the last Fleet Review, so far, of the Royal Navy, and which took place at Spithead in celebration of HM the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Naiad was positioned in the middle of Brighton and her sister-ship Andromeda. In 1979, Naiad deployed to the Far East once again.
In 1981, Naiad deployed to the Mediterranean. In 1983, Naiad began a refit at Devonport Dockyard which was completed in 1984. In 1985, Naiad returned to the Mediterranean, as part of the NATO multi-national squadron Naval On-call Force of the Mediterranean (NAVOCFORMED), the predecessor of the Standing Naval Force Mediterranean (STANAVFORMED). The following year, Naiad joined the Standing Naval Force Atlantic (STANAVFORLANT), another NATO multi-national squadron. In April 1987, Naiad decommissioned and in 1989 was used as a static trials ship for weapons testing. In September 1990, Naiad was sunk as a target.

Brand new subcompact luxury SUV produced since 2017. The X2 is based on the platform of the X1 and is offered in a single drivetrain configuration in North America, with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-4 engine with 228 PS.
The starting price of $38,400 is about $4,000 more than the base X1 but the X2 is billed as offering a more engaging drive along with a sportier design.
The display vehicle is equipped with the M Sport X design 'treatment' which bumps the price to $43,050 and includes darkened trim around the windows (in place of chrome), an M sport steering wheel, and an M sports suspension. The display vehicle also has the optional Sunset Orange Metallic paint, an extra $550 that seems money well spent.
