Saab has affirmed that all export customers of the Gripen fighter jet receive the same advanced capabilities as Sweden, its primary operator. The statement was made in response to former President Donald Trump’s earlier remarks suggesting a “dumbed-down” export version of the F-47 NGAD jet. Saab emphasized that there is no reduced-performance Gripen for international buyers. The aircraft can be customized to meet specific operational needs, but the base offering remains fully equipped. The company reiterated its commitment to transparency in dealings with global partners.
