Sweden has unveiled its largest military aid package for Ukraine to date, a massive $2.7 billion defense agreement anchored by the donation of 16 Saab Gripen C/D fighter jets. The landmark deal aims to significantly bolster Kyiv’s air defenses and fundamentally shift the dynamic of the airspace conflict with Russia.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has confirmed a $4.3 billion deal to purchase 17 Gripen fighter jets from Sweden’s Saab, amid rising tensions between Colombia and the United States. The announcement provides the first official details on the size and cost of the military acquisition, initially revealed in April.
Sweden has announced plans to step up its military assistance to Ukraine, beginning with the delivery of radar reconnaissance and early warning aircraft, and later possibly transferring Gripen fighter jets, Defense Minister Pål Jonson said ahead of the NATO defense ministers’ meeting in Brussels.
