Eh, if it's intended for more than airpolicing then a T-7 derivative probably can't fit the require capabilities... So, suspect net result would be some sot of new build F-16 Block 96(?) instead of a totally new airframe.

NATO Jets Scramble After Suspected Drone Incursion Over Eastern Europe
Aviation News – German Eurofighters and Romanian F-16s were scrambled this week after a drone briefly crossed into NATO airspace, prompting a rapid military response and renewed concern over regional security. The incident involved fighter aircraft from Germany and Romania, which were deployed when air-defense systems detected an unidentified drone approaching from outside the alliance’s borders. Pilots identified the aircraft but held fire due to concerns about debris falling on populated areas.

Machinegunpods låter väl ok.
Tanken är väl mot medelstora drönare typ shaheeds.
Jag tror på detta konceptet.
Dvs enkla långsamma billiga flygplan för intercept och airpolicing, sensorer osv mot den nya typen av hot.
Topgunpiloter med 100 års astronautubildning och 8e gen jaktflyg funkar inte

What is the dilemma?
As long as art 5 not is activated - then it is art 3 and each member defend its own territorium. Except for NATO airpolicing and SACEUR. But still each member decide about its territorium and to shoot or not.

DK should buy 20-32 Gripens (w non-US engines preferably) to add to 32 F-35, & train/operate the Gripen with Sweden. That will give a good mix of a high-end penetrating platform that can take out the shoote (SEAD)r, as @forsvaret.dk calls for, & cheaper-to-run (1/4) for airpolicing & independence

So DK is going to by more fighter planes.
I suggest we consider supplementing F35 to a full wing, but primarily buy a further full wing of Gripen (se below)
The ITAR affected GE engine is a concern, but doubtful much can be done?
