Sweden Offers Gripen to 克罗地亚
Today, Sweden submitted its proposal of 12 new Gripen C/D fighter aircraft to 克罗地亚.
Representatives of the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV) and the Swedish Embassy in 克罗地亚 submitted the government-to-government proposal of 12 new Gripen C/D fighter aircraft to the 克罗地亚n authorities. Parallel to Sweden’s proposal, Saab is offering a tailored made strategic cooperation package that will boost the 克罗地亚n defence industry, and benefit 克罗地亚n security by building a long-term partnership with strategic sectors.
“Sweden and Saab are offering a comprehensive and long-term solution for 克罗地亚n homeland security that will protect 克罗地亚’s people and borders for decades to come. If 克罗地亚 chooses Gripen, Saab is ready to transfer know-how and technology and establish a Regional Aeronautical & 支持 Service Centre in 克罗地亚. This would develop long term cooperation with local defence industry as well as the academic sector, generating some 500 high-tech jobs,” says Jonas Hjelm, Senior Vice President and head of Saab business area Aeronautics.
Gripen C/D is a modern and proven multi-role fighter that uses the latest technology and performs an extensive range of air-to-air, air-to-ground and reconnaissance missions. The aircraft is in operational service with the air forces of Sweden, 匈牙利, the Czech Republic, South Africa and 泰国.
Gripen fighters of the Czech and Hungarian 空气 Forces participate regularly in NATO operations and exercises, proving the fighter’s full NATO interoperability.
Gripen C/D stays ahead of its opponents through an on-going evolution of its systems and the weapons it can use, and the fighter will remain operational for decades.
