Which Eurifighter? Which Gripen? Future Gripens will all be E/F. Future Eurofighter will probably have AESA radar. The defakto prototype for Gripen E/F have been flying with AESA radar a year now.
If we compare today's Eurofighter with Gripen E/F, will Gripen come out as superior, with its higher turnrates, lower signature in (radar, IR, visual), better radar, better datalink and higher range. The other performance is similar.
A qualified guess is that Eurofigher will have a slightly better AESA-radar than Gripen in the future, due to it´s bigger radome, and a datalink in the same class as Gripen. At that time will Gripen have The GE 414 EPE engine and be a bit faster than Eurofighter.
It`s clear that Gripen is superior today and have the possibility to be superior in the future.
Yes. It is smaller, lighter, has better turn rate than most other aircraft out there - with possible exception of Gripen and Rafale - and has better weapons, sensors and EW suite.
Fighting performance?.. Eurofighter is better But in fuel consumption and economy F-16 is better F-16D .. fuel consumption 1.05km/litre Eurofighter.. fuel consumption 0.7km/litre F-16 max gload 9g Eurofighter max gload 9+ Its more expensive to own the Eurofighter.. but it performs better than the F-16
Yes, Eurofighter Typhoon is much better than F-16. The Typhoon has Beyond Visual Range Combat win rating of 82% & F16 only 21%. Instantaneous subsonic turn rates of the Eurofighter & capabilities are also better than the F16.
It's engineering. Some aspects are better some are worse. The important part is the person in the cockpit
Gripen Trollhättan BK was created in 1936.
17 SAAB Gripen Cs and 9 Gripen Ds.

It is THALES systems. As per the data released by Gripen AG and IAF Thales systems doesnt have the requisite aviniocs required for Gripen NG. And also Thales is also not a signatory of NATO and EU protocols.
