Sweden is considering letting Ukrainian pilots try out the new Gripen fighter jet in order to support Ukraine’s efforts to modernize its air force. Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist told a press conference that such a deployment could be a way to support Ukraine’s efforts to enhance its military capabilities. Hultqvist said the deployment of the fighter jets to Ukraine on a trial basis could help with supplies and training if requested. The Swedish government is yet to make a formal decision on the matter.
