UKRAINE GETS GRIPENS: Zelensky Secures Swedish Jets Built for War With Russia | Times Now World

Ukraine has signed an agreement with Sweden to purchase 16 Saab Gripen E fighter jets, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on June 30, marking a significant step in Kyiv's efforts to modernize its air force amid the war with Russia. The deal includes equipment, technical assistance and operational support, while Ukraine is also expected to receive 16 Gripen C/D fighters under an earlier agreement. Zelensky said he discussed implementation of the pact with Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson, alongside cooperation on drones and anti-ballistic defenses. Analysts say the Gripen's ability to operate from dispersed locations and carry a wide range of NATO-standard weapons could make it particularly valuable for Ukraine's military.
