Sweden says offers to sell eight Gripen aircraft to Croatia

The offer also includes a support and training package for pilots and technicians and a financing solution, FXM said in a statement.

“In order to ensure that the Croatian Air Force remains operative without interruption when its current MiG-21s are decommissioned, Sweden offers a solution where the Gripen C/D aircraft can be operative as soon as within one year after a contract is signed,” programme director for Croatia at FXM Jerry Lindbergh said.

Swedish industry is also offering industrial cooperation via Saab, in case of a purchase.

Gripen is operational in the Czech Republic, Hungary, South Africa and Thailand, apart from Sweden.
