Hungary’s air force gears up with enhanced firepower as Saab clinches a deal for additional Gripen C fighters, solidifying their strategic partnership. Saab has cemented its collaboration with Hungary by securing a contract for four additional Gripen C fighter aircraft.
The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a light single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by the Swedish aerospace and defence company Saab AB. The Gripen has a delta wing and canard configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire flight controls.
Later aircraft are fully NATO interoperable. As of 2020, more than 271 Gripens of all models, A-F, have been delivered. In 1979, the Swedish government began development studies for "an aircraft for fighter, attack, and reconnaissance" to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force.
