Sweden has said it is ready to provide Ukraine with Gripen fighter jets and resources for Black Sea demining, but only after a peace agreement with Russia is signed, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on X.
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.
Ukraine and Sweden have signed an agreement that could bring Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets to the Ukrainian Air Force, with first deliveries potentially as early as 2026, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
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.
Hungarian fighter jets deployed in Lithuania intercepted a group of Russian military aircraft approaching NATO airspace over the Baltic Sea on September 25, the alliance said.
