The Gripen is fine for defensive missions but it's not even remotely close to the F-35A for offensive strikes. The Gripen has shorter range, less survivability, weaker sensors, and isn't certified for the NATO nuclear weapon sharing program. Nor are there any drones capable of carrying out complex, long-range offensive strike missions in contested airspace: maybe in 10 years but not today.
