Although I'd prefer this happening in the Thames River by Electric Boat, this too is great.One of the potential benefits: testing not in Ukrainian waters that are under regular enemy surveillance, but somewhere in Norwegian fjords. The weather should help as well. I assume that overcast conditions are more common there than over the Black Sea coast.

I don't think this will help Ukraine…at least in the short term. Part of the reason for Sweden taking this approach is to ensure they maintain a combat capability. If they were to start pulling old C/D models out of service to use them as a source of parts for new E/F models, they would be reducing their capability. There might be a bunch of the C/ D versions available in a few years once the E/F ones start arriving in numbers.
