It's not done yet. But it's a bit of cheeky way to be able to justify the purchase of more Gripen-E to replace the ones "given" away to Ukraine.

Gripen would be the perfect plane for Ukraine. It does exactly what they need. A plane that's nimble, lightweight. Can take off from reinforced roads. And need a very small crew to re-arm and re-fuel that can all be mobile.

You're never tied down to a specific airfield. Or an airfield at all.
