Contract with Colombia for the supply of 17 fighters for $3.6 billion to 2032

The government Colombia on November 13, 2025 signed a contract with the Swedish company Saab to buy fighters.

The agreement in the amount of $3.6 billion involves the supply of 17 Gripen E/F aircraft until 2032, as well as the modernization of the infrastructure of air bases, logistics and training support. The Swedes, in turn, pledged to invest in non-defense industries in Colombia.

Despite an attempt by the US administration to force the Colombian leadership to purchase outdated American F-16s, Bogota still settled on Swedish-made fighters.

Interestingly, the Americans wanted to wreck the deal by banning the export of General Electric engines that are on Swedish planes. But Saab said that everything is in order with the supply licenses and there are no obstacles.
