LET'S GO!!!

Kristersson stated that, based on current production capacity, the first Gripen deliveries could take place within three years of a finalized contract. He emphasized, however, that the letter of intent marks only the beginning of discussions and does not yet constitute a binding sale.

This will be likely an "after the war" thing, no matter, this is such a large amount of aircraft the strategic implications are major and precede the arrival of the physical aircraft.

Hopefully this makes Trump feel left out so he greenlights the AH-1Z and UH-1Y helicopter sale.

Edit 1 United24 indicates actually Ukrainian pilots are already being trained on the Gripens and would start flying next year, can't find any more on that yet to confirm though.

Edit 2 Yeah ok this timeline is likely faster than it appears, Ukrainian pilots started testing these Gripens in 2023.
