They’re near impossible to distinguish aside from loadout, all Gripen A’s were modernised to Gripen C standard, the C itself is just a newly manufactured A that rolled off the assembly line with the mods the A received, but as they only have 9L/i’s we cant see if it has skyflash (which would mean A) or certain Gbu’s etc which would be the C modernisation.
This is also true. And the way they ended up deploying the R-73 this year made it really clear it could’ve come with regular R-27’s instead of ER’s for the 9.13.
