It’s described in the article; the suggestion is to keep a small fleet of F35 fighter/bombers and a bulk fleet of Gripen fighters. That complements their respective capabilities

Yes, of the older variants
Because they are buying the newer version…
Yes, on the newer versions. The earlier versions still in use, have the Volvo engine installed.

Gripen E is newer than the F35
They buy F35 because the US is the premier supplier of arms for NATO bar none.
Bombardier would do well to look to their long-term goals; the potential of the Canadian aviation industry is great, and the F35 program got jack to do with it.
The SAAB Gripen, for example, would be built in Canada, maintained in Canada, and integrates with the SAAB Global Eye AEW&C, which, by the way, is built on the Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft!
