According to local media the Czech Minister of Defense is considering the F-35 to replace the JAS 39 Gripen.
Although nothing has been decided yet (at least officially), it looks like the F-35 is considered among the favorite candidates by the Czech Ministry of Defense for the replacement of the current fleet of JAS-39 C/D Gripen jets.

For a few years discussions have been underway within the Czech MOD to select a fighter that could replace the 14 Gripen fighters currently on lease from the Swedish manufacturer Saab until 2027 (with an option to extend the lease contract to 2029). All the three original options are still on the table: extending the lease and continue with the Gripens; procure the newer Gripen E/F variant; or choose a completely different type.
