🇺🇦🇸🇪 #Ukrainian company sign #MoU with Saab on production for #Gripen E fighters - DefMin IMO, if done similar to the Brazilian deal then Ukraine could be tasked to supply certain Gripen aerostructures for the global market. Larger volume. 1/2 newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/ukraine...

🇨🇦 Oh no. News in #Canada talked about an aircraft other than the F-35. How dare. That angers a man. Once described by Ottowa Citizen: “promotes Lockheed corporate talking points mixed with conspiracy-fuelled rhetoric”. AI, Chinese & Russian trolls. Ok. 🤡 www.espritdecorps.ca/media-watch/...

Förmodar att alla redan förstår att vad #DN idag spekulerar om inte alls stoppar #Gripen till #Ukraina. Finansiering på ryska medel är inte inräknad. Politisk vilja och flera finansieringsvägar finns. Tror DN att länderna inte förstår? Och varför skulle USA blockera för Amerikanska företag?
