Brazil signals a follow-on order for about 20 more Saab Gripen fighters over France's Rafale, as its F-39 makes its first military exercise abroad.

Key Facts
—The signal. Sweden says Brazil could order around 20 more Saab Gripen fighters, on top of the 36 already contracted.
—Not the Rafale. Brazil is favouring more Gripens rather than adding France’s Dassault Rafale, avoiding the cost of running two fighter types.
—The milestone. Brazil’s F-39, its locally assembled Gripen E, flew its first multinational exercise abroad, at Salitre 2026 in Chile.
