3 декабря компания Saab АВ сообщила, что на аэродроме в Линчёпинге впервые поднялся в воздух истребитель JAS-39E Gripen NG (сер. № 39-6002) - первый серийный самолет этой версии, построенный для ВВС Швеции. Его пилотировал летчик-испытатель Хенрик Венсет (Henrik Wanseth). Истребитель несет новый «ломанный» камуфляж. Это второй серийный самолет данной модификации. Первый (сер. № 39-6001) совершил полет 26 августа 2019 г. и предназначался для ВВС Бразилии. В целом, правительство Швеции заказало 60 таких машин, которые предстоит передать к началу 2027 г. Бразильский контракт предусматривает поставку в 2019-24 годах 28-ми одноместных истребителей JAS-39E и 8-ми «спарок» JAS-39F.
