Citat:On 27 August 2024, The Kong Thap Akat Thai (RTAF, Royal Thai Air Force) selection committee announced that they have chosen the Saab 39E/F Gripen Next Generation fighter aircraft as replacement for the ageing F-16A/B Fighting Falcon, which is already in service since 1988.
After studying additional details submitted by Saab and Lockheed Martin, the Gripen NG is favoured over the US made F-16C/D Block 70/72.
No details were given on the exact number of aircraft involved, but earlier it was reported that the air force has been seeking to buy four new fighter aircraft to start replacing twelve old F-16s that are due to be decommissioned in the near future. The procurement still needs final approval by the new defence minister and the cabinet, which is expected to be formed in the coming days following the recent election of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
This acquisition is the first phase of the fighter replacement procurement programme in the fiscal year 2025-2029. So when the acquisition of the Gripen NG, we can expect follow on orders.
