Thanks for the fighter support and all; but what do you suppose the pilot is supposed to do if the enemy shoots back and his plane crashes? Does he have enough cash on him to get a taxi?
He will pull a Blanche DuBois, and depend on the kindness of strangers. After all, he's Swedish, why would anybody want to hurt him/her?

They have designed, built, and flown their own fighters for quite some time.

Sweden is a lot like Switzerland, they maintained a very credible armed neutrality during the Twentieth Century. Both the Germans and Russians avoided conflict with them.

I predict there will be no Swedish aces from this military adventure.
Has Sweden ever had an ace? I mean, ever?
