Official: Sweden is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine and is going to consider transferring JAS 39 Gripen fighters to the AFU

The Swedish government, following Spain, is preparing a new military aid package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Here's What We Know

This was announced by Swedish Defence Minister Pål Jonson. The new package should mainly include ammunition, as well as spare parts for previously delivered equipment. This will be the 13th military aid package that Sweden has prepared for Ukraine.

In addition to additional weapons, the country's defence ministry has also confirmed that it will consider giving Ukraine fourth-generation JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets. If the deliveries are approved, they will start only after Sweden becomes a member of the North Atlantic Alliance. By the way, Ukrainian pilots have already undergone familiarisation training on this type of aircraft.
