Ukraine is set to strengthen its air force with Sweden's Gripen fighter jets in a major defence deal that could reshape the air war against Russia. Kyiv will receive new Gripen E fighters along with older Gripen aircraft as part of a multi-billion-dollar agreement backed by European funding. The Gripen has never been tested in a high-intensity conflict, making Ukraine its first real battlefield test. Designed for dispersed operations, the aircraft can operate from roads and withstand contested environments, offering Ukraine greater flexibility against Russian attacks. Gursshheen Gahllen brings you the details and explains why this deal matters.
