 Ukraine will fight against the Russians with Sweden's Gripen fighters. The Swedish government is carefully preparing the ground for the potential delivery of Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine. The political media outlet announced this. The article says that the decision by Norway, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands to deliver F-16 fighter jets to Kiev has made the provision of Gripen to Ukraine a more actively discussed subject in terms of aid from Sweden. It is believed that it could take up to a year before the planes arrive in Ukraine as pilots and engineers will need training with unfamiliar systems. The Gripen's could significantly help Kiev control its airspace as they are considered relatively cheap and easy to maintain and can operate from shorter and narrower runways including improvised runways on straight stretches of road. This reduces the risk of amassment of aircraft at a large base and possible destruction by a single enemy attack. In addition, the planes have special equipment to counter Russian fighter jets and surface-to-air radar systems. Earlier, the Swedish government announced the allocation of the 14th package of military aid to Ukraine and discussed the preparation of a decision on the possible supply of Gripen fighters. Paul Johnson, the Minister of Defence of Sweden, said that the Armed Forces of Sweden and the Swedish Defence Material Administration had been instructed to study the possibility of supplying or exporting Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine. The government has decided to assess the conditions under which Sweden can contribute in the field of combat aircraft. We can do this by expanding our participation in the F-16 coalition or donating or exporting the Gripen system, Johnson said. The assessment is expected to be ready by the 6th of November.
