Nobody said there was something wrong with it. But Czechia's contract with Saab will be running out in 2027, they need a replacement.

IMHO Czechia is better served upgrading to the new Gripen E instead of going with the F-35. After over 20 years the F-35 is still not delivering on it's original promise and of being the "low" in a "high-low" mix of combat aircraft. Software upgrades are way behind and still not cleared for numerous weapons. Lockheed has vastly over promised and under delivered on the F-35 with a huge price point per airframe

Commonality with allies and stealth are key selling points of the F-35 right now. That said, Saab made Czechia a strange offer. Had they chosen the Gripen E, they would've been allowed to keep their D models (which are leased from Saab) for all eternity. A strange way to sweeten a deal considering that the D's were to be replaced. But I suppose they'd heard that Prague wants an additional squadron.
Of course ok, you can see the gesture of the pilot ?

The issue is how to lock on an enemy fighter coming from your six?

It's a Sidewinder, isn't it? It brings its own seeker head and requires no guidance from the aircraft. All it needs is a launch authorisation. Since it can (obviously) be fitted to the rail facing the wrong way, though, I'd assume it can actually be connected to the on-board systems as well. How's that for active counter-measures? It's possible the seeker head would only lock on to the hot exchaust gases of its own aircraft, though. ?
It is joke of the technicians of course. Maybe some of them have remembered the predestor of L-159 - the Su-22M4 and its SPPU-22-01 cannon pod. It was possible to arrange the pod for backward firing.
