The Slovenian news outlet Dnevnik reports on a major arms deal involving Sweden's defense giant Saab, which has signed a contract worth approximately $1 billion for the sale of two advanced surveillance aircraft, the GlobalEye. The buyer remains unnamed but is speculated to be an undisclosed country in the Middle East. These aircraft are based on the Bombardier Global 6000 and equipped with state-of-the-art sensors capable of monitoring targets across air, sea, and land. Saab highlights the growing international interest in the GlobalEye system, noting orders from countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Canada, France, and Sweden, as well as NATO's plan to purchase up to ten units to replace aging AWACS systems. Additionally, Ukraine has contributed significantly to Saab's growth by ordering 16 Gripen E fighter jets valued at around $2.5 billion. Saab is expanding production capacity with new facilities in the U.S. and India.
