Some good news as received in a press release on 6 December 2021

“After a lengthy discussion between the South African Air Force (SAAF), through Armscor and SAAB on the contract concerning the Gripen, proposals have been presented by both parties and are being reviewed to ensure that the matter is conclusively dealt with by the parties concerned.

It is unfortunate that the discussions took longer than expected as a result, negatively impacting on the Air Defence capability.

The SAAF is confident that a solution will be found to resolve this matter.

Due to the sensitivity around the discussion, the negotiations cannot be made public.
