Sweden, a new NATO member, signed a letter of understanding with Volodymyr Zelensky to potentially sell 100–150 Saab Gripen‑E jets to Ukraine—the first offer by a NATO member to supply significant numbers of jets to Kyiv. Exact terms and delivery dates remain undecided, but both Zelensky and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson called it a potential game changer for Ukraine and European security. The newly fielded Gripen‑E—praised for rugged operations, upgraded sensors and AI—aligns with Ukrainian pilot training on older models. Zelensky hopes deliveries could start next year, days after US President Donald Trump rejected a Tomahawk request.
