Overview
- Saab confirmed a signed contract with Colombia for 17 Gripen E/F aircraft valued at €3.1 billion.
- The order covers 15 single-seat Gripen E and two dual-seat Gripen F jets along with equipment, weapons, training and services.
- Deliveries are scheduled across 2026 to 2032 as Colombia begins replacing its ageing IAI Kfir fleet.

- Colombia selected the Gripen after weighing alternatives such as Dassault’s Rafale and Lockheed Martin’s F-16, and now prepares training, infrastructure upgrades and integration.
