Thailand looks to be accelerating their F-16 replacement program; firming the order for the remaining Gripen-Es. This will give Thailand a Swedish-like mixed fleet of Gripen C/D & E that will network with their Saab 340 AEW aircraft. Next upgrade: GlobalEye?
🇹🇭 RTAF to accelerate buy of additional #Gripen E/F.
In FY28: "submit the remaining eight aircraft as a single proposal under the next phase, rather than dividing them into smaller batches, to accelerate preparations for a fully operational sqn"

NATO’s decision to choose GlobalEye is significant for the Alliance, for Sweden and for the transatlantic defence industrial base. It recognises Swedish technology and is a concrete Swedish contribution to NATO’s deterrence, defence and future air surveillance. (1/3)

Great to be back in Poland again – twice in less than a week.
This time with one of the largest Swedish ministerial delegations on a foreign visit in a long time, and for good reason. Relations between Poland and Sweden are the best in living memory.
We are NATO allies, strategic partners in the EU and neighbours on the Baltic Sea, with extensive contacts between our peoples, businesses and institutions.
