Sweden’s Gripen Jets: The Ultimate Buy Some, Get Some Free Deal
Our president just met the Swedish PM in Tallinn, and it turns out the plan to get those gorgeous Gripen fighter jets involves some top-tier financial gymnastics.
So, Volodymyr Zelenskyy met up with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, and they ironed out the details of a massive aviation deal. We aren't just begging for handouts here; we are actually buying up to 20 brand-new, top-of-the-line Gripen E/F jets. The best part? We are paying for them using 2.5 billion euros from the EU loan, which is backed by interest on frozen Russian assets. Yes, Russia is literally paying for our new air force.
But the real cherry on top is the logistics. Once we buy those 20 new jets, Sweden will just give us another 16 older Gripen C/D models for free as bilateral aid. It is a literal buy-one-get-one-almost-free promo, but with supersonic military hardware. To make it even wilder, there are talks about setting up production for these Ukrainian jets at a factory in Canada. Global cooperation at its finest.
Let’s just hope the delivery doesn’t require assembling them with a tiny hex key and a confusing instruction booklet.
