There are older variants, and they export them too and are transitioning to a stealth version. From what I can see they might have enough for 2 or 3 squadrons, if the Czechs switch to F16s or F35s or upgrade to the stealth version. Able to operate from roadways and low maintenance costs are in its favor. Now that Sweden is part of NATO, Russia is fucked and they have no land border with them, their defense needs, and equipment access have changed.

Sweden to upgrade its entire Gripen fleet - AeroTime
Swedish government signed a contract with Saab to upgrade the fleet of Gripen C/D fighter jets.
www.aerotime.aero
Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the maintenance and provision of resources for development and operational support of the Swedish Air Force’s (SwAF’s) Gripen fighters, the company announced on 30 June 2023.
The total value of the order is SEK 345 M (EUR 29.31 M).
The order from the FMV mainly comprises operations relating to rigs, simulators, and test aircraft for verification and validation of the Gripen fighter aircraft system in its C/D and E iterations, but also covers operational support of the SwAF’s Gripen C/D fleet.
The SwAF has 71 Saab Gripen C fighters and 23 Gripen D fighter/conversion trainers of 75 and 25 respectively delivered from 2004. Deliveries of the first of 60 serial-production Gripen Es, meanwhile, began in November 2021.
In April 2022 the FMV announced that all of the SwAF’s Gripen C/Ds would be upgraded to keep them operationally relevant until 2035. Forty Gripen C/Ds are to be retained by the SwAF once the Gripen Es have entered service, for a total fleet of 100 Gripens.

As for the fighters, Defense Express reminds that as of 2022, Sweden had 96 active JAS 39C/D Gripen multirole fighters. Besides, we should also recall an order on manufacture of 60 more jets of the modernized JAS 39E version placed back in January 2013. The first jet of this type was received in December 2019, the order will be fulfilled by 2027.

I was thinking about the ones the Czech's have and the 24 they have in storage that might be replaced by new variants, and Norway might help foot the costs since they are rolling in cash!So they only have 98?

If Elon wants to operate starlink in the EU and allied countries, he had better let Uncle Sam buy blocks of access for allies and mind his own business.
Yeah, and while Joe was "afraid", Vlad's army was being slowly destroyed on the field and attritted away as he poured more in, when it was weak enough, the allies poured in the equipment, munitions and training for the offensive. When they get rid of most of the Russian's AA defense, they will be ready for an airforce that should drive the Russians out and keep them out. Crimea and southwest Ukraine will be cut off before winter and the fall rains set in and fighting will continue in the winter, the Ukrainians are making winter fighting preparations now.

Four Russian regions face a collapse in budget revenues - the Moscow Times.
Four Russian regions in the first half of 2023 faced a double-digit drop in tax revenues to local budgets. This data is provided by experts of the Gaidar Institute in their report on the financial condition of the Russian Federation's regions.The Nenets Autonomous Area has set an antirecord for the reduction of revenues, where the tax collections for 6 months collapsed by 35.1%. Budget revenues of Khakassia decreased by 27.2%; Kemerovo region, the key region of coal production in the Russian Federation, - by 21.7%. St. Petersburg, home to Gazprom's headquarters, lost 13.2% of revenues after gas exports to Europe fell to their lowest level since the mid-1970s.Twenty-six regions of the Russian Federation had debt loads exceeding 50% of their own annual revenues, while Udmurtia was the anti-record holder, with its debt exceeding 100% of its annual budget. At the end of 2023, 35 regions of the Russian Federation had a budget deficit, and six were forced to spend almost all the money in their accounts to cover it. This is, in particular, the Republic of Tyva, which has "nothing left in its reserves," wrote analysts of Expert RA. Kalmykia, Buryatia, Karelia, Murmansk region, and Chukotka autonomous district also spent almost all of their reserves to cover "holes" in local budgets.
