Demonstration of Gripen in Linköping

Spotted by signatory at Military Photos Forum

Swedish Minister of Defence Sten Tolgfors visited SAAB in Linköping the 25th of January. He was briefed about SAAB's efforts to export Gripen, the ongoing progress on the Gripen NG as well as several UAVs SAAB is working on at the moment, including the Neuron project. He writes about the visit on his blog:

The impression I got was that extensive flights are progressing with great success and that there are many indications that the Gripen NG might even be better than expected.
