β‘οΈπ΅πͺπΈπͺ Peru might join the Gripen club.
Sweden seeks parliament approval to export up to 12 Gripen E/Fs to Peru. If signed, it'd be the third Latin American order after Brazil (40+ jets, 26 more in talks) and Colombia (24 planned). A regional fleet of 80+ Gripens could enable joint training, logistics, and maintenance.
Peruβs small air force relies on old Mirage 2000Ps, Su-25s & MiG-29s. As Russian support fades, more countries are turning to Western options. The Gripen offers a modern, low-cost platform with:
Raven AESA radar
EW suite (defensive/offensive)
Meteor, IRIS-T, GBU-49, Taurus
Recon & battlefield data fusion
The Gripen F (2-seat) is tailored for Brazil, suited to training & complex ops. Peru joining would boost Saabβs regional presence and deepen South American airpower interoperability.
