Ukraine Bags Gripens: EU-Backed Jets to Bolster the Skies, Not Decide the War

Ukraine and Sweden reached a deal to supply Gripen fighters: 16 donated C/Ds and 20 newer E/Fs, totaling about €2.5 billion funded by an EU loan, with first deliveries expected around 2027 as Kyiv pursues 100-150 aircraft. The Gripen’s short-runway deployment, easier maintenance, and European-sourced Meteor missiles reduce U.S. dependence and will join Ukraine’s F-16s and Mirage 2000s in its air defense. Officials say the jets won’t be decisive, but they could help blunt Russian glide-bomb attacks and bolster deterrence while European defense production scales up.

Ukraine as Europe’s Catalyst for a Post-American Security Era

The authors argue Europe must awaken to a post-American security order by embracing Ukraine’s example, forging a coherent, crisis-tested strategy that leverages Europe’s strengths—rule of law, a large market, and advanced industries—while reducing dependencies and strengthening its defense base, so Kyiv’s experience can help Europe deter threats and remain indispensable to its allies in a shifting global landscape.
