Is there a system in place where by they can refuel JAS 39s?
I don't recall ever seeing a probe on a SAAB and I thought
probe and drogue was the "Brit method".


The Gripen has a retractable probe above the port engine inlet.


Some Gripens do, most don't. The probe was introduced in Block 3 and export
models. Right now, Batch 1 and 2 covers the majority of Gripens built.
