Sweden adds exit clause to Swiss Gripen deal

The Swedish government confirmed that there is an exit clause in the framework it agreed with Switzerland over the purchase of 22 Gripens.

Sweden reserves the right to withdraw from the development of the Gripen E/F program if Switzerland withdraws from the project and an alternative foreign partner cannot be found to share development and production costs.
