The Armed Forces budget proposal answers a gvmt order on how to increase availability on JAS 39 during the induction of JAS 39E. The answer; instead of also using parts from operative C/D fighters as a cost-saving measure in the production of JAS 39E, Sweden will only use parts from the up to 30 older JAS 39A/B that has been stored in strategic reserve. This will enable the military to fly a higher number of C/D fighters until 39E becomes operative.
Sounds like an obvious thing to do but this has always been about money. And as we say here, it's expensive to be poor. In the end, this is a better decision.

Angeblich verfolgt Schweden nicht mehr den Plan moderne C/D Gripen für die neue MS21 Gripen zu opfern. Stattdessen dürfen 30 ältere A/B herhalten.

Und wieso war das nicht der Plan von Anfang an?
