It is a Drakken & a Gripen. The leading edge of the wing overlaps the cannard more on the Kfir than on the Gripen.
im sure its a kfir. the nose is very Mirage like, and I am 100% sure that the US Military has some sort of dissimilar combat training using a Kfir or two.
also if you look at the shadow, it resembles a kfir more than a gripen.
finally, the gripen are some of the top aircraft the swedes have to offer today, and if that was the case, why would they be selling them to us...
