There are now considerations to send JAS 39 Gripen warplanes to Ukraine, a versatile and cost-effective fighter jet designed for prolonged engagements. Sadly, such a move won't change the condition on the ground or above the sky when it comes to taking on Russia.
The latest proposition to supply Ukraine with JAS-39 Gripen jets from Sweden, known for their versatility and compatibility with advanced missiles like the MDBA Meteor, represents another attempt to bolster Ukraine's defenses. However, the underlying narrative suggests that these efforts might not be enough to overcome the strategic and tactical advantages held by Russia.
A report from the Singapore Airshow yesterday affirmed that the Philippines is close to entering negotiations to buy fighter jets from Sweden to bolster its defense.
