On Wednesday, October 22, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister of Sweden Ulf Kristersson signed an agreement on the intention to purchase from 100 to 150 new JAS 39 Gripen E fighters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This became<\/span> known<\/span><\/a> from the broadcast of the leaders’ meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Kristersson, the agreement is designed for long-term cooperation and does not provide for the immediate transfer of fighters. In particular, this concerns a batch of fighters that are now starting to be manufactured.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about long-term cooperation and the possibility of getting a big deal between our countries. It\u2019s about 100-150 Gripen E-series fighters,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Swedish Prime Minister stressed that this will help build \u201ca very serious Air Force in Ukraine.\u201d He called the agreement the beginning of a long journey of 10-15 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zelenskyy, in turn, noted that Gripen fighters are among the best in the world. Ukraine is already training pilots and technical teams to be able to use them starting next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese are very cool aircraft, strong aviation platforms that allow you to perform a wide range of tasks,\u201d the Ukrainian president added.<\/span><\/p>\n

As previously reported, Sweden has announced its readiness to expand military assistance to Ukraine and is considering the possibility of transferring Gripen combat aircraft.<\/a><\/p>\n

As a reminder, Sweden will increase support for the World Bank’s Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction and Reform Fund (URTF) by 385 million Swedish kronor (35 million euros).<\/a><\/p>\n
