After a Decade Without New Buyers, The GRIPEN-E Aircraft From SAAB Found A New Potential Client. Hungary Is In Advanced Negotiations To Acquire The Fighter, With Confirmation From Military Sources That The Contract Is Almost Closed.

10 years without sales, since Brazil acquired the GRIPEN-E, SAAB seems to have found a new customer for its aircraft. Hungary confirmed that it is negotiating the purchase of the latest variant of the GRIPEN, with internal military sources stating that the purchase is practically certain and in the process of contract drafting, with only a few details left to finalize. SAAB has officially stated for now: “We Are Having Interesting Discussions About The GRIPEN-E With Hungary.”

The Hungarian Air Force already operates the C and D versions of the GRIPEN, planes leased since 2001. In February of this year, prior to the ratification of Sweden’s NATO membership, Hungary announced an agreement to acquire four of these fighters. At the time, the deal was seen as a counterbalance, as Hungary opposed Sweden’s entry into NATO.

The Purchase Of The GRIPEN-E Will Increase This Capacity, Being Advantageous For Both Sides

Currently, the 14 GRIPEN aircraft are essential for the protection of Hungarian and Slovenian airspace. The purchase of the GRIPEN-E will increase this capacity, being advantageous for both sides, especially in light of the worsening situation in Europe with the war in Ukraine.

SAAB has faced difficulties in selling the GRIPEN-E, with European countries preferring stealth jets like the F-35 or other rivals such as the Rafale and the F-16. Even though the GRIPEN-E is a more economical combat aircraft, the strong lobbying from the United States and the recurring sales from competitors make its acceptance in the market challenging. SAAB has attempted to sell the fighters to countries like Thailand and the Philippines, where it is considered a favorite, but no final decisions have been made yet.

This agreement with Hungary represents a new lease of life for SAAB, which seeks to increase its exports in a competitive market. Furthermore, the sale should benefit the manufacturing facilities of the GRIPEN-E in Brazil, as the contract includes the manufacturing and assembly of components in the country for the GRIPEN acquired by other nations.
