For altitude and airspeed, they do. I'm absolutely sure. ICAO says
so.

The Swedish airforce use meter for altitude and km/h for airspeed.

All Gripens can use either metres or feet for altitude and km/h or
knots for airspeed. Just push a button to select.
Some of the Viggens have gotten new instruments so they can do the
same.

I'm positively sure that the Swedish air force will switch to imperial
units in the near future. No point in using one system wthin Sweden
and another system when abroad.

Good move imo...although I'm from a country that espouses metric
(and in most cases I like it) I think that for this one parameter
(altitude) we should all be on the same page. Just too damned
dangerous to be otherwise. (IMO).
