@BombOmOm I don't think they have been promised Gripens or even Hornets yet? Swedes are only training and Australia is considering giving their old Hornets
I think the Brits were training them on another fighter in RAF service too.
I don't remember hearing anything about the Brits training Ukrainian pilots (would be really cool if they are, though!), but I've heard multiple times that the French are training them on the Mirage 2000.
Not promised, but these rumors often have a somewhat known results. Think himars, tank, patriot... There would be no reason to train pilots on the gripen or f-16, if there wasn't at least some willingness to actually supply the planes as well.
