Saab Pursues Gripen E Sale to Canada
1 source · first reported 15h ago
Saab aims to sell its Gripen E fighter to Canada and establish a domestic final assembly line if the deal is secured. The opportunity arises as Ottawa's interest in acquiring more Lockheed Martin F-35s may be dwindling due to collapsed trade talks. Saab is targeting a production ramp-up for the Gripen E.
Why it matters
The potential sale of Gripen E to Canada is significant as it could impact the country's fighter jet capabilities and influence the broader military aviation market. The production ramp-up would also demonstrate Saab's capacity to meet growing demand for the fighter.
