@digitalwarz now THAT could explain why Ukrainian pilots has started training on the Gripen C/D variant and SAAB has stated that they have a number of them ready to donate as soon as the Swedish govt. allows it😊
And, iirc, if the CV9040Cs, Strv 122s and Archers didn't have their radios and commanders tactical interface downgraded before delivery for Swedish national security reasons, they should be able to share real-time sensor and targeting data with eachother and with the Gripens on their electronic map displays...
The Gripen is an excellent contested airspace all condition multi-role combat and recon aircraft that compensates it's short range and relatively light weapons load with a first rate ECM/ECCM, networked sensors, intuitive cockpit layout and unmatched turnaround times between sorties <10minutes with 6 conscripts and a technical officer on any asphalt road that'straight and level for more than 300m, extreme ease of module based repair and maintenance, ability to use another compatible assets sensors (such as a ground based radar, relayed gps+laser range finder targeting data from a CV9040 or Strv122, another Gripen or interface compatible AWACS aircraft far outside the engagement zone) to lock on and fire with it's own sensors out of range or passive to minimise it's own visibility to enemy sensors.
