#Sweden’s #Saab wants #Canada to buy 72 Gripens jet fighters and 6 GlobalEyes (aewacs) if it is to create 12,600 jobs in Canada.

First shipment of 16 F35s from US arrives this year to replace CF18s.

US may not allow #Gripens or a mixed fleet as part of #Norad.

Interestingly, in light of #Trump’s America First policies, the US jet aircraft may also be partially built in Canada.

The question is, what will Ireland go for? Anything #American is considered a disastrous idea.

I like #Saab #Gripens and #Dassaults.

Joining Nato ‘will bring opportunities’ for Sweden’s arms makers in Asia-Pacific

It comes as Sweden and the Philippines have been negotiating on a deal for the procurement of defence equipment that could include fighter jets amid tensions with China.

South China Morning Post

The country being referred to is the #Philippines, we're reportedly going for the #Gripen E/F instead. That leaves, potentially, eight Gripen C/D fighters for #Ukraine now that #Sweden is joining #NATO.

"Reportedly, 12 Gripen C/Ds were produced in Switzerland a few years ago in the hope of commercial success, but the country did not opt for this type, so #Hungary could instead receive four of these #Gripens." #JAS39Gripen #Gripens4UA

Sweden and Hungary act to smooth tensions ahead of NATO vote

Hungary’s nationalist government, after holding up a vote on Sweden’s membership in NATO for more than 18 months, appears ready to agree to the move.

An unpopular opinion but he's right for all the reasons stated in the video below. Unfortunately for Ukraine there are no spare #Gripens new or old.

The #Philippines is on the verge of buying 14 because the alternative (#F16) is simply too expensive. So by default, the #PhilippineAirForce may be making the right choice 😊 #UkraineWar #Jas39Gripen #Gripens4UA

The right fighter for #Ukraine isn't the #F16, it's the #GRIPEN
