SWEDISH FIGHTER OUT OF SWISS COMPETITION?
SUPPORTED BY SWEDEN, Saab has submitted its proposal for Finland’s HX fighter competition to the Finnish defense procurement agency, the Logistics Command of the Finnish Defence Forces. The Saab proposal comprises 64 Gripen aircraft — 52 single-seat Gripen E and 12 two-seat Gripen F variants — and is the formal response to the customer’s request for quotation (RFQ) issued in April 2018. Saab’s Gripen offer also includes two GlobalEye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft.
