The cost of developing these systems is enormous and stretches any defense industry (and budget) Sweden is too small to truly go it alone and will need to cooperate with other countries (e.g. Britain 's BAE and Rolls-Royce ) Sweden pulled out of BAE Tempest fighter program in 2023 .

Sweden is ordering a new batch of updated Gripen Es , which are expected to remain in service until 2060 .

The Gripen E includes an upgraded electronic warfare suite and the ability to carry three times more armaments.

Sweden was expected to retire its Gripen C/Ds, but Russia 's invasion has made it likely it will hold onto some of them for longer.
