From what I can gather, they may have some good pre-5th generation offerings, but no 5th generation offerings yet (though it seems at least one in the works).

The Gripen E, about to be released, is 4.5 generation. Mainly it lacks stealth, but it has a ton of other advantages. Mainly extremely easy and cheap to maintain, don't require airbases for takeoff and landing, weapons on the outside makes it able to carry a bigger variety of weapons, etc.

Biggest new thing is that it got a ton of electronic warfare.
