Gripen E is the latest incarnation of the famous Swedish fighter jet, built by SAAB. Although very similar to the earlier version A and C it is a completely new aircraft with a few common components/systems. Not considered a 5th generation fighter jet it is stil very competitive due to a highly advanced electronics warfare suit and sensor fusion capabilities that can trace its origin to the j37 Viggen. It is in service with the Brazilian and Swedish airforces and ordered by Ukraine. Other potential customers have shown great interest, such as Canada.
Planned release early 2027
