[Gripens were designed to operate in extremely hostile conditions (like a full-scale Soviet invasion). The plane can use shorter runways (even roads) and can be re-armed quickly using very few ground crew. It’s perfect for Ukraine.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyD0liioY8E)
If they green light it, I suspect they wont let it drag out like the F-16s.
>Sweden has been hesitant to supply its jets, stressing that it first needs to join NATO before it can consider this option.
Seems like joining a large military alliance would hinder more than help military exports.
What do you suppose the deliberations are about?
This is a wonderful platform for Ukraine’s needs. It is highly effective, and is relatively inexpensive to operate and maintain.
If Ukraine can control its own airspace with fighters, Patriots and radar, and if they have the shells that they need to throw at their enemy, then Russia will not ever succeed, and will have to ultimately agree to negotiate a “real” resolution (but not until Ukraine kills lots more Russians …).
Oh, wonderful…”deliberations”….maybe there will be “discussions”, and “considerations” next. That should only take a few more years. 😡
Excellent! With all the focus on the F-16 we shouldn’t overlook this incredible aircraft. Less expensive to operate and maintain compared to F-16, able to operate from makeshift runways, has beaten F-16 in combat exercises, this is great news!
Tell me how I can support these deliberations so that they become an outcome of Gripens to Ukraine!
