Well done søta bror!
Grattis!
Better late than never.
Haven’t seen a single mainstream media in Sweden confirm this. I could only find two articles that mentions the interview with Ivan Havrylyuk and I’ve never heard of those outlets. I would hold off on saying this is confirmed.
Gripen is interesting primarily because it can launch MBDA Meteor , which is an excellent weapon against Russian bombers that launch planned bombs.
With this new wunderwaffe, the victory is inevitable 🙃
As OP did not provide a translation of the article:
>The defense Ministry announced the transfer of Swedish Gripen fighters to Ukraine
>Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk said that additional supplies to Ukraine of F-16 aircraft, as well as French Mirage and Swedish Gripen, are currently “expected”.
He said this in an interview with the BBC, published on September 29.
>Asked if he could announce the number, Havryliuk replied: “Let’s see them in the air over Ukraine, then you will understand.”
He also did not comment on when exactly these deliveries are expected.
>“When you said “expected,” you mean all these planes, and Mirage, and Gripen, or only some of them, F-16? — Practically, you called the nomenclature correctly, but to detail when, what, what, I will not,” Gavrilyuk said.
Since the summer, weapons from the United States began to arrive in Ukraine under the new PURL priority needs program. As part of this mechanism, European partners buy weapons in the United States and transfer it to Kyiv. Several EU and Canada have already joined the initiative, agreeing to jointly allocate $2 billion.
The first deliveries under this mechanism, according to Havryliuk, have already arrived in Ukraine. However, he acknowledged that the volume and pace of assistance decreased.
>“Previously, according to the Presidential Aid Packages (PDA), we received assistance from the United States rhythmically and in larger volumes. Today’s system, when European countries buy weapons for us from Americans, requires some time. The more links in the chain, the more time is lost,” the general explained.
>Recall that in early September, Swedish Defense Minister Paul Jonson said that his country is ready to consider the supply of modern JAS 39 Gripen fighters to Ukraine, but only after the end of the war with Russia.
