  1. I suspect that you underestimated the Hungarians a bit. The Gripen is designed for defensive operations and can be operated on worse airfields and be maintained easier and cheaper. It will therefore probably be able to spend more time in the air over the battlefield. I agree that they probably can't push into Romania, but the overall air war might not turn out the way you expect. The tank battles might also be... Interesting... Local numerical superiority isn't necessarily required in a defensive battle. Israel was beating a significantly bigger tank force on the Golan heights. There's no reason why Hungary can't do the same if they choose their fights carefully. The overall outcome will probably not change much. But Romanian advance might be slower and might not reach as far in. Also, let's just say that these Romanian tanks are not the most capable in the world... Check the link at the bottom for reference. 4:10 Yeah, if you assume that the Gripen a are able to relocate faster and take down a few Romanian planes early on the fight could end up being surprisingly even. Remember that the Gripen has advanced electronic warfare capabilities. Not sure what exact Gripen variant they have, but it should be doing well compared to the planes it's facing regardless. On the tank side... https://youtu.be/ypm9bOoohnM
