Gripen would probably be better for landing on roads etc, but the eurofighter probably has a bigger potential in terms of production quantity.

Gripen is more or less decided according to latest Swedish aid package.

Ukraine wants Gripen and Sweden wants to send Gripen.
The only statement we get is “At the moment, it is not relevant to transfer the JAS Gripen to Ukraine, as it would interfere with the introduction of the F-16″. ” A donation would require cooperation with other countries to introduce a new aircraft in Ukraine”
I believe Sweden is being blocked with the “1971 export control act” from sending them at this time. But please someone prove me wrong.

Слава Україні!

If you’re in the weapons selling business, you need to get your products in Ukrainian hands. They are stress testing delivered systems to the max and making them shine. Weapons industry must be cursing Western reluctance and hesitation.

They need to diversify away from the US limitations, too many strings attached to US military tech.
