Az meg azelott volt, hogy a rendes KEPD-350 elkeszult volna egyaltalan. Aztan az elkeszult, a Gripenre is jo volt, de anno a svedek nem ereztek surgosnek erre kolteni - ha emlekszel, 2014 elott szinte minden allam minimalizalta a vedelmi kiadasait, a svedek is leepitettek az egesz hadsereguket, legierot is beleertve stb.25 évvel ezelőtt egy Taurus KEPD-150 változat kifejlesztését tervezték a Gripenhez, de nem lett belőle semmi.
"KEPD 150 is a member of the TAURUS family of advanced long range, high precision stand-off weapon systems. It will provide the JAS 39 Gripen with an enhanced strike capability against a broad target spectrum. The accuracy and stand-off capability ensure highly effective weapons delivery while minimising the threat to aircraft and crew and largely avoiding collateral damage. The KEPD 150 successfully performed its first captive flight test on JAS 39 Gripen at the FMV Test Center in Linköping, Sweden, on 27 August 1998. The test was part of the definition phase contracted by the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV). The KEPD 150 can be operational with the JAS 39 Gripen within five years. KEPD 150 has a high degree of commonality with the MAW TAURUS - KEPD 350 being in full scale development at TAURUS Systems GmbH for the German Air Force TORNADO under contract from the German BWB."
