I made a mistake. The T-72 is a tank.:)
It’s frustrating that all I can do is hope this statement doesn’t apply to the E-Gripen.
Russian bias, they’ll make it happen
It'll just do this:

Pretty sure 6002 is kept by SAAB, not FMV. It is as you said a production model but part of the few planes that doesn’t make it to customers but are built and kept to evaluate production. So production-spec-pre-production.
It does. JAS 39E in it’s current form is in Sweden MS21. MS22 comes in a year or two and then MS23 in around 2030 I assume it’s the FOC version with all payload options integrated like the KEPD 350 and so on. MS21 is purely basic A2A.
“After that 6002 will join the joint verification and validation programme together with the Swedish Armed Forces and FMV for further envelope expansion as well as testing of tactical system and sensors.”
( First Swedish Gripen E is airborne| Stories | Saab )
I think SAAB has the 39-8 , 39-9 and 39-10 planes. the 6001 went to Brazil Source and the 6002 went to FMV (Swedish defence forces material supplier), i think the first planes that actually went in to service were the 609 and 610 Source (which weirdly enough have the serial numbers 396038 Source and 396040 Source respectively)
