Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced on May 28 that Sweden plans to transfer 16 used Saab JAS 39 Gripen C/D fighter jets to Ukraine and support Kyiv in procuring up to 20 newer Gripen E aircraft.
"Ukraine has clearly identified Gripen as the priority choice for its air force in the long term and intends to acquire the newest version, Gripen E," Kristersson said at a joint news conference with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Uppsala.

Yay!! Finally!!! 🇸🇪🤝🇺🇦
While getting Gripens is great there is a little something here that’s missing from the title. Those first 16 planes will take up to 10 months to actually be delivered. 10 months is a long time.
