🇹🇭🇸🇪 📷 HRH Princess Sirivannavari and #RTAF ACM Punpakdee Pattanakul at Saab Linköping, June 10th. HRH Princess Sirivannavari briefed on the future Thai fighter #Gripen E, and flew simulator. Also a visit to the Swedish Air Force museum. #Sweden Photos: Royal Thai Air Force
As I leave, I still don't understand why the #Thales #Spectra EW system was such a failure for the #IndianAirForce #Dassault #Rafale when coming up against the #PakistanAirForce #J10/ #PL15 combo. Surely one of the most advanced EW systems should have warned the Rafale pilots?
Productive bilateral meeting with Minister of Defense Pedro Sánchez during F-AIR Colombia. We held constructive talks on Colombia’s future defence capabilities – with a particular focus on fighter aircraft and technological cooperation.🇸🇪🇨🇴(1/2)

#Gripen @saab in Colombia. Thanks to @fab_oficial 👍👍 A sale of Gripen to 🇨🇴will strengthen regional cooperation with Brazilian Gripens & one can hope supports more opportunities such as with 🇵🇪. A strong Industrial package benefits the wider business & public. Photo Saab

Satsningarna på luftvärn fortsätter. Idag har FMV tecknat kontrakt på 1,5 miljarder för fler moderna robot 70 NG. Systemen har mörkersikte och kan skjuta ner drönare, helikopter och robotar på kortare avstånd. Foto: Försvarsmakten
Medieuppgifter om att Peru vill köpa Gripen. Positivt givetvis och samtal förs, men ingenting är klart. @saab @dagensindustri #Säkpol dise.page.link/?link=https://…

Ett riktigt betydelsefullt steg för fortsatt utveckling av allierad förmåga och än mer fördjupat samarbete.
🇸🇪🇫🇷A strong collaboration between Sweden and France strengthens NATO’s collective defence. France today communicated its intent to acquire 4 Global Eye aircraft. This will benefit our countries & deepen interoperability. We also signed a road map on further defence cooperation.
This could have been a good way to end the G7 meeting. The GlobalEye is based on a Toronto-made Bombardier.
RELEASE: 🇫🇷 France announces intention to procure GlobalEye Joint declaration of intent regarding the sale of Saab’s GlobalEye Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft to France signed with @DGA. #AEWC #defence #parisairshow saab.com/newsroom/press…
The @Saab #GlobalEye is looking good in the early morning sun.

Smart engineering solutions. Gripen was designed from the beginning to operate from dispersed airbases and sustain for a long time.
Russia is spreading a clip claiming to show a Swedish pilot saluting a Russian pilot over the #Balticsea. IMO the Swedish pilot is not saluting but actually holding a camera. Normal Visual ID work. LITENING Pod is also active. Gripen from F 17 Wing.
Royal Thai Air Force confirms selection of Saab’s Gripen E/F. “We welcome the Royal Thai Air Force’s selection of Gripen E/F as its future fighter and look forward to the next steps in this procurement process,” says Micael Johansson, CEO of Saab. saab.com/newsroom/press…
If this includes Giraffes, SHORAD, Self-propelled artillery, & GlobalEyes, that would be great. If it also includes Gripens, Meteors, RBS15, IRIS-T, & Taurus missiles - even better!
