Volodymyr Zelenskyy had spent the day in talks with Danish and Nordic leaders about air defence, and when journalists asked the question Ukrainians have been asking for more than a year, he finally gave them a month. The first Swedish Gripen fighters, he said, should reach Ukraine in January or February 2027, &ldquo;maybe February.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Then he added the line that matters most to a country that has spent years waiting on Western jets: the aircraft are already on their way. Speaking on 10 November, according to Interfax-Ukraine, UNN and Militarnyi, he also asked for more F-16s and said Ukraine would watch closely how the Gripens fare against Russia&rsquo;s Shahed drones.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:18px 22px;margin:26px 0 30px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:600;color:#0d1117;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px\"><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Who and when:<\/strong> President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking to journalists in Copenhagen on 10 November 2026<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Expected arrival:<\/strong> January or February 2027, &ldquo;maybe February,&rdquo; according to Zelenskyy<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Which jets:<\/strong> Not specified by Zelenskyy; the only Gripen package scheduled for early 2027 is Sweden&rsquo;s donation of up to 16 Gripen C\/D<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>How many first:<\/strong> Not stated; the size of the first batch has not been announced<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>New-build jets:<\/strong> 16 Gripen E under the contract signed on 30 June 2026, with deliveries planned for 2029&ndash;2030<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Role:<\/strong> Air defence; Zelenskyy said Ukraine will see how the Gripens perform against Shahed drones<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Also asked for:<\/strong> More F-16s and ammunition for them, according to UNN and Militarnyi<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What Zelenskyy Said in Copenhagen<\/h2>\n\n<p>Zelenskyy was in the Danish capital for a two-day visit that included talks with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and a working dinner with Nordic leaders, The Copenhagen Post reported.

According to UNN, Zelenskyy said that &ldquo;all F-16s are already part of our air defense system&rdquo; and that Ukraine needs more of them, because its jets are old and constantly in work.

The timetable, though, points in one direction. In May 2026 Sweden said it would donate up to 16 second-hand <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/saab-gripen\/\">Saab JAS 39 Gripen<\/a> C\/D fighters from its own stocks, with handover expected in early 2027, as reported at the time by The War Zone, Militarnyi and UNITED24 Media. The donation is tied to Sweden buying newer aircraft to replace them.<\/p>\n\n<p>UNITED24 Media noted that the January&ndash;February window matches that C\/D schedule, and Interfax-Ukraine described the first batch as C\/D aircraft. At least one Ukrainian outlet referred to the incoming jets as Gripen E, but no published timeline has the newer version arriving that early. How many aircraft will make up the first delivery has not been announced.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Gripen E is a separate and later story. On 30 June 2026 Ukraine and Sweden signed for 16 new-build Gripen E, with deliveries planned for 2029&ndash;2030, a deal Afterburner covered in <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/saab-gripen-e-ukraine-contract-signed-2026\/\">It&rsquo;s Official: Ukraine Is Getting 16 Gripen Es<\/a>. Kyiv&rsquo;s long-term ambition, according to Militarnyi and UNITED24 Media, is 100 to 150 Gripen E\/F.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NuLYUiTe00A\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A Date That Kept Moving<\/h2>\n\n<p>February 2027 is not the first date Ukrainians have heard. In October 2025, after the letter of intent with Sweden, Zelenskyy wrote that the first Gripens were expected the following year, Ukrainska Pravda reported. In September 2026, visiting Ukrainian trainees in Canada, he again said the jets would arrive in 2026, as <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/ukraine-pilots-training-canada-l-39-f-16-gripen-2026\/\">Afterburner reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Stockholm&rsquo;s own timeline never changed: early 2027. Seen that way, Tuesday&rsquo;s answer is less a delay than a meeting of the two calendars. For the pilots and ground crews already training on the Swedish jets, as Militarnyi and UNITED24 Media report, it puts a season on what had been a promise.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/swedish-air-force-jas-39d-gripen-two-seater.jpg\" alt=\"Swedish Air Force JAS 39D Gripen two-seater 825 on the ramp\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A two-seat Swedish Air Force JAS 39D Gripen on the ground in July 2022.

Just as important for Ukraine is how the jet lives on the ground: it was designed to fly from roads and short strips with a small ground crew, a fit for an air force that has learned to keep its aircraft dispersed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QyD0liioY8E\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<p>That leaves the Ukrainian Air Force with a third Western fighter type to absorb, alongside the F-16 and the Mirage 2000, each with its own spares, tools and training. The first Gripens will not change the war on their own. But for a country that counts its interceptors one by one, a February date carries real weight.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Sources: Interfax-Ukraine, UNN, Militarnyi, UNITED24 Media, Censor.NET, The War Zone, Ukrainska Pravda, Euronews, The Copenhagen Post, Defence Industry Europe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<!-- mfsh:bottom -->\n\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"mfsh-trigger mfsh-bottom\" data-mfsh-placement=\"bottom\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><svg><use href=\"#mfsh-i-share\"\/><\/svg>Share this story<\/button>\n\n<!-- \/mfsh:bottom -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mf-photo-credits\" data-no-translation style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;font-style:italic;margin:6px 0 18px\">Header photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Saab_JAS39C_Gripen_-_Swedish_Air_Force_(9433061441).jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saab JAS39C Gripen - Swedish Air Force<\/a> by Mark Kent, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a>, cropped, via Wikimedia Commons<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\n\n\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>When will Ukraine receive its first Gripen fighters?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on 10 November 2026, speaking to journalists in Copenhagen, that the first Swedish Gripen fighters should arrive in January or February 2027, maybe February.
