Yes, and the Swedish Air Force system is very interesting… but very different from the NATO one.
We have only few bigger bases, and roads are almost no longer used as stopgap airstrips, so the planes range is very crucial to us. We also need some offensive capabilities like precision bombing, radar and SAM busting etc. – things that are not considered by Swedish air force which is defensive by nature (the country is neutral for over a century). The cooperation with other NATO countries is also crucial, especially for aboard missions, like air policing over Lithuania. The F-16 can work with AWACS planes which we have to our disposal. There is also something called AN/APG-80 waiting for buyers other than UAE… There is nothing Gripen have, or can do that F-16 can’t, but there are still things F-16 can do which Gripen can’t.
Anyway with F-22A and F-35 on the horizon both F-16 and JAS-39 may be considered obsolete. But with F-16 we can hop in to another LM fighter with little friction, Gripen have no successor, and this count too.
