I believe this is more of an evaluation so UKR pilots can compare the Gripen fighter to the F-16.

The Gripen can carry Aim-120s, Aim-9s, RBS-15F anti-ship missile, KEPD.350 (ALCM), Paveway II LGBs, SDBs, and iron bombs.

Since they can carry SDBs, it would be easy to certify JDAMs for carry and release.

“Denmark and the Netherlands will lead a European coalition in providing F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots. Norway, Belgium, Portugal and Poland will also contribute to training.

More countries are expected to join this initiative soon” - US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

(I believe that France has already announced its intention to participate as well)
