Slovakia to acquire Swedish Gripen

The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Sweden have signed a letter of intent agreeing to co-operate on using the Saab Gripen fighter – paving the way for a potential Slovakian acquisition of the aircraft.


Slovakia may look to lease the Gripen, like its regional counterparts Hungary and the Czech Republic.

In May it was announced the Gripen lease agreement between the governments of Sweden and the Czech Republic had been extended for a further 12 years. This will see the 14 C/D-model examples operated by the Czech air force remain in use until 2027.
