Defence and security company Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) regarding spare parts for the current Gripen fleet. The order amounts to SEK 200 million.

The order concerns spare parts including so-called “line replacement units”, easily interchangeable modules that make it possible to correct faults in a workshop instead of in the aircraft on the ground. The units are part of an agreement to supply spare material for Gripen and includes Thailand, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

The order concerns Saab’s units in Linköping, Kista, Jönköping and Mölndal, but it does not mean any new employment.
