Thais Sign With Swedes For Fighters, AEW&C

The Thai government has basically signed with the Swedes for the backbone of their air force moving forward.

They have purchased, "six JAS 39C/D gripen swing-role fighters, a Saab 340 Erieye airborne early warning & control (AEW&C) aircraft, a Saab 340 transport aircraft, and an air defense command & control system from Sweden."

Sweden is actually doing a good job staking out the bottom of the current aerospace market, giving capabilities close to those of the big guys for less.
