The Swedish government wants to give the Swedish Armed Forces to investigate the conditions for sending the Saab JAS 39 Gripen to Ukraine

A decision on such an assignment has to be made shortly.
Among other things, the government wants to know how a transfer of the Gripen planes would affect Sweden's defense capabilities, how quickly Sweden can get new Gripen planes as compensation and how training of Ukrainian pilots can be carried out.

The government opened in August to send Gripens to Ukraine. Defense Minister Pål Jonson (the Moderate party) then stated that the government office "for a long time" had looked at the issue.

At the end of August, the Social Democrat opposition also announced that they were prepared to send the Saab JAS 39 Gripen to Ukraine. They did not set a date, nor did they indicate how many planes it might involve. the Social Democrats first wanted to see a serious analysis of the consequences for Swedish defense capability and wait for Swedish NATO membership.
