Swedish Defence Minister Pål Jonson has said that his country could not supply its fighter jets to Ukraine because it does not have enough of them.
In a statement, Jonson confirmed that Sweden does not plan to send JAS aircraft – fourth-generation Gripen multirole fighter jets – to Ukraine.
”We do not have a surplus of JAS aircraft that we could now send to Ukraine,” he said, Pravda reported.
The minister added that Sweden’s support for Ukraine will now focus on training and maintaining already shipped equipment. He also said that Swedish participation in joint service and repair centres near the borders of Ukraine may be required. Läs artikel
