Story summary

Sweden will deploy Gripen fighter jets to Poland starting in October as part of a NATO airspace surveillance mission. This is Sweden's second contribution of fighter jets to the mission since joining NATO in 2024 and also in 2025. The Swedish government stated that the jets will contribute to NATO’s air and missile defense, particularly protecting a logistics hub in southeastern Poland used for military and civilian support to Ukraine. Defence Minister Pal Jonson emphasized the need for high military readiness on NATO's eastern flank due to the serious security situation and recurring violations of NATO airspace. The fighter jets, produced by Swedish defence group Saab, will primarily be based in Sweden but will participate in the mission to enhance regional security.
