We have already written more than once that in addition to American F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters, Ukraine also wants to receive Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen aircraft. Now the AFU Air Force is one step closer to this.
This has been raised as a concern before. Reuters is reporting that it’d be a relatively small (but definitely still significant) number sent over, somewhere in the high teens, so it’s actually possible that these are previously-decommissioned examples that have been restored or something. There are apparently 24 of Sweden’s original fleet in hangar storage awaiting decommission, so it wouldn’t seem out of the question. To be clear though this is me guessing, I don’t have a source
