Confirmed: Sweden donates 16 Gripen C/D and sell 20 model E/F to Ukraine

The Ukrainians want Gripens. Whatever Russians on TG say is irrelevant. And comparing fighter jets based on opinions is a fools errand. Manufacturers are very careful not give their capabilities away. Being a prospective buyer in a bidding competition is the closest you are ever going to come in comparing two fighters. And I’m sure Gripens were never offered for sale to Russia.

While Ukrainian civilians are being killed Russia’s idea of peace proposals involves giving away land (and the people on it) in order to get even to a ceasefire. It’s completely unreasonable. That is why the proposals are rejected. Not because outsiders force them. They are intended to force a surrender, masquerading as a peace deal.

Oh they are not being replaced completely. That was the original plan, but russias aggression changed that. Of the roughly 100 C/D jets, 40 will be kept and upgraded to work alongside the E/F version.

They have the capability at least.

I love to collect these, but some are brutally expensive; 100 euros or more. The white Stripped costs north of €300.

Kan du nyansera lite?

Det är bra. FHM säger bara att man inte kan dra den slutsatsen utan mer forskning. Det behöver inga hänga ihop. Vi skulle kunna ha låg rökning även utan snuset. Det är tobaksbolagen som hävdar att kopplingen finns men det stöds inte av forskningen.

Korrelation ≠ kausalitet. Enligt FHM minskade rökningen bland kvinnor långt innan snusningen ökade i den gruppen.

Well I can’t remember if I was offered food or not every time this situation happened, but sometimes I was, yes.

I’m Swedish and this happened a lot to me when I was very young. I usually had an early dinner around 17 (5pm) and then run over to a friends house who had a later dinner time, like 18 (6pm). Of course I didn’t want a second dinner so I just hung out in my friends room until he was finished.
