Seriously, why not buy 30 MiG 29s.

Sweden has been producing its own fighter planes for a very long time, they airplanes that will participate are from the Nordic Battlegroup, there are enough, then more of a 10 pieces of course read the previous entries in the thread,and be dependent on other countries to a greater extent also the MiG is not at all the same flexibility as Jas,more than two hundred Jas has been built
