So far I have not seen any commitment from any Gripen-C customer so its future remains uncertain.

gripen C will not use any AESA

Yes..so far there is no commitment from either of the two Gripen-NG customers to completely swap out the Selex’s radar for SAAB’s current set

yes, those are two unlucky customers that ordered the day before GaAs became obsolete,
same story as with F-35.
PAK-FA otoh got the timing right

the main difference is performance, GaN is the only logical option if given a choice

sweden is a partner in neuron project so clearly they intend to have one at least for A2G

earlier they built a demonstrator

the gripen E will last to 2050 and its futile to predict what will be relevant by that time when its time for a new fighter,
i dont think any current fighter will be upgradable to fit A2A then

f-35 only out-ranges gripen E with heavy loads, if that even,
that imply anti ship weapons in finlands case,
but the ranges at which finland would launch attacks on russian ships is exceptionally short

What size should the armed forces be? Let’s say the army of Finland is zero, what will happen? The second option, the army of Finland – the entire population of the country, “armed to the teeth,” what will change?

i think the intent is to change your assessment of current borders as “impossible” into acceptance of said border

A deal to share more AWACS data with us is already in talks as part of the increased defense corporation. Same with the airfields. Both of these however could be done regardless of which fighter is chosen.

disagree, the swedes wont have the specialized equipment to load even a single amraam onto an F-35,
so there wont be any shared airfields, at least not that finland can operate from, just as an escape plot.

on the awacs, finland dont have the depth to operate an awacs
