Sweden has taken a historic leap in its alliance with Ukraine, announcing plans to supply up to 150 state-of-the-art Gripen E fighter jets, a potential $12 billion deal that could reshape Europe’s air power balance. Signed by Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson and President Zelensky in Linkoping, the agreement marks Sweden’s biggest-ever fighter export order. Kyiv aims to deploy the jets within three years, with financing discussions reportedly involving frozen Russian assets. The move signals a bold NATO-backed escalation against Moscow’s dominance in the skies.
