What type of fighter jets should we choose ?

A European one of course.

Make a compensation deal. You're digging a tunnel to Sweden iirc. They will come for booze I guess.
Charge them with a fee and they'll pay the Gripens for you.

For Denmark, the Gripen sounds ideal in ability and costs. However, squeeze a good deal out of the Swedes, the plane is not the newest anymore.

F-35 and Eurofighters are too expensive for what they offer. The Superhornet also would be a good choice, but the Gripen probably can be had cheaper. However, for long range operations over water, the Hornet might be better than the Gripen, I'm not sure: longer legs, or am I mistaken? Thinking about the Faroer Islands.

Or forget fighters completely, and go for drones. Its only a question of time until drones no longer just maverick ground targets, but start shooting stuff out of the sky as well.

I highly recommend the F-35. Somebody's got to help us pay for that flying metal coprolite.

OK being serious. They are all too expensive and don't work properly for what you need. Drones is the way to go. Cheaper, less risk to losing pilots yadda yadda.

You want a cheap and proven fighter? Then start building these
