France has ordered two GlobalEye airborne early warning and control aircraft from Saab in a contract worth about SEK 12.3 billion. Deliveries are planned between 2029 and 2032, and the agreement includes training, support, ground equipment, and an option for two more aircraft.
Poland has chosen Sweden’s A26 Blekinge-class submarine offer to replace its Kilo-class submarine. Saab says negotiations will now begin with Poland’s Armaments Agency, with no contract yet signed and delivery expected around 2030.
Saab has signed a €3.1 billion contract with Colombia for 17 Gripen E/F fighter aircraft including two twin-seat Gripen F fighters to be delivered between 2026 and 2032, following orders from Thailand recently, a Ukrainian letter of intent for hundreds of aircraft and strong prospects coming up in Canada.
Thailand has placed an order for three Gripen E and one two-seat Gripen F fighter aircraft, besides associated equipment, support and training, for SEK 5.3 billion (around $550 million), within an existing agreement with Sweden for 12 aircraft.
Although no order has been placed yet, France has decided to purchase two Saab GlobalEye Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft with an option for two additional aircraft, while Saab has ordered two Bombardier 6500 aircraft platforms for the GlobalEye.
Sweden’s Saab announced the selection of its Gripen E/F fighters by the Royal Thai Air Force, which already operates the older Gripen C/D variants, beating out the U.S. Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 70 aircraft.
