#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.
Swedish ambassador to the #Philippines #AnnikaThunborg proposed the sale of up to a dozen #Gripens to #Manila when she met Defence Minister #GilbertoTeodoro Jnr in August. Manila is seeking to modernise its fighter jets at a tense time in the #SouthChinaSea. #JAS39Gripen

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

One step closer to #Gripens for #Ukraine.

#Orbán’s party this week announced it will vote on ratifying #Sweden’s #NATO bid on Monday, suggesting the delays — and the diplomatic tensions — could be drawing to a close. #JAS39Gripen

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
