I can't tell if you're making fun of SAAB or the F-35...

Saab I guess, as the Gripen isn't a stealth plane.

But nowhere does Saab claims it to be. The comment doesn't make a lot of sense

Regardless, the Gripen is the stealthiest EU-made fighter right now, at least until other members like France unveil an actual stealth jet

I’d be interested to see the performance on these platforms.

I suspect they’ll be primarily used for anti drone campaigns as Ukraines AD stockpile is running low.

They're quite well suited for Ukraine: their radar and missiles are more than good enough for 99.9999999% of what the Russians can throw at them and for all it's worth they're cheaper to operate than most other Western fighters. Another bonus is their phenomenal for a modern jet rough field capability.
