… defensenews.com … Brazil orders more Gripen jets, mulls another large buy …Brazil is set to order four Saab-Embraer F-39E jets in addition to the 36 already purchased in 2014 under a $4.7 billion contract.
The country is also considering ordering another batch of at least 30 F-39E fighters — the local designation of the JAS 39E Gripen NG.
Sweden’s Gripen NG was officially selected in 2013 to provide the Brazilian Air Force with an advanced, fourth-generation-plus fighter jet under the F-X program.
The decision followed a protracted process launched in the mid-1990s, which suffered several delays and was at one point suspended by then-President Fernando Henriquez Cardoso in 2002.
It was restarted in 2008 by then-President Luiz da Silva.

The joint certification reflects the synergy obtained through the technical cooperation between the two authorities.

The first of five F-39s, delivered from Sweden between December 2021 and April 2022, are now at Anapolis Air Base near the federal capital Brasilia.
They were initially used for testing and training flying from Sao Paulo and other places.
Now the Gripens will become operational and officially part of the line-up of fighter jets belonging to the 1st Aviation Group, taking charge of regular peacetime tasks.
Operating from Anapolis, this unit is tasked with the defense and control of air space over nearby Brasilia, the federal capital city of Brazil.

: … ainonline.com … Brazil Seeks More Gripens as Saab/Embraer Strengthen Ties …Brazil is currently evaluating the acquisition for more Gripen multi-role fighters to add to the 36 it ordered in 2014.
Although defense minister Jose Mucio did not talk about numbers when speaking at the recent Latin American Aerospace and Defence show held in Rio de Janeiro, it is understood that four additional aircraft are to be added to the current batch, with a second batch of 26 or 30 to be ordered subsequently.
The country's defense forces are in the process of receiving aircraft, with the delivery of the first batch due to be completed in 2027.
In the meantime, Embraer is leading development of the Gripen F two-seat version, the first example of which is being assembled at the company’s facility at Gavião Peixoto.
During the LAAD show Embraer and Saab announced a memorandum of understanding covering greater collaboration, building on the industrial partnership created by the Gripen program.
As well as exploring further opportunities for the Gripen in Latin America, the two companies will partner on continued development to enable the Gripen to remain relevant until the 2060 timeframe, as well as examine future fighter needs.
