Brazilian Air Force Will Probably buy at Least 108 Gripen


The Brazilian Air Force (Força Aérea Brasileira: FAB) expects to field "at least" 108 Saab Gripen E/F combat aircraft by the time deliveries are complete, a senior service official disclosed on 18 November.

Speaking under the Chatham House Rule at the IQPC Fighter Conference in London, the officer said that the aircraft will be delivered in three batches running from 2019 through to 2032, adding that the USD5.4 billion contract announced in October for 36 aircraft represents just the first batch (these will be delivered by 2024).
