Now that Typhoons and Raphales are in action over Libya, Sweden also has a commercial interest to show the capabilities of the Gripen. Of course that will not be the only reason....maurits wrote:According the Forsvarsmakten.se-website they should deploy max. of 8 JAS39 GripensArjan wrote:Sweden has offered 8 fighters, 1 transport and 1 surveillance aircraft for operations over Libya!
Sweden has a tradition of taking part in operations with a UN mandate. They flew with J29 Tunnans over the Congo in the 60s providing air support to ground forces. They were in Bosnia with UNPROFOR. Nowadays they take part in ISAF. So implying this has something to do with commercial intensions, is a bit farfetched IMHO.Wildpicture wrote:Now that Typhoons and Raphales are in action over Libya, Sweden also has a commercial interest to show the capabilities of the Gripen.
