Sweden has offered 8 fighters, 1 transport and 1 surveillance aircraft for operations over Libya!

Hi,

According the Forsvarsmakten.se-website they should deploy max. of 8 JAS39 Gripens and a Tp84 from the Nordic Battle group in a very short period if the Swedish parliament set the lights on green. It is expect they will be stationed at Deci/Sardinia.

Now that Typhoons and Raphales are in action over Libya, Sweden also has a commercial interest to show the capabilities of the Gripen. Of course that will not be the only reason....

Thanks for all the updates!

I've updated the list on page 1.

Sweden has a tradition of taking part in operations with a UN mandate. They flew with J29 Tunnans over the Congo in the 60s providing air support to ground forces. They were in Bosnia with UNPROFOR. Nowadays they take part in ISAF. So implying this has something to do with commercial intensions, is a bit farfetched IMHO.

The 2 Gunships are (for now) back at EGUN....
