Swiss Defense Minister Ueli Maurer said on Friday after meeting his Swedish counterpart that Sweden has offered to loan Switzerland a squadron of second-hand Gripen C/Ds until its new Gripens arrived.
Maurer said the idea is attactive as it allows Switzerland to retire its F-5 earlier and build up training and infrastructure for the Gripen earlier.
