Do these figures take into account whether the aircraft in question are actually being used in combat or just training?

I imagine the running costs are significantly less if your aircraft all stay at home and no-one shoots at them and I can’t recall the Gripen being used in anger by any of its’ current users, unlike the F16, F18 and Typhoon.

Very stealthy!

(Probably has the radar cross-section of Los Angeles International Airport.)
