Sweden has contracted German company Grob Aircraft SE to deliver three more SK 40 training planes for the armed forces.
The platforms will add to Stockholm’s 10 existing SK 40s procured in 2021 to update its aircrew’s flight skills against modern threats and replace the SK 60, also known as the Saab 105, which has been in service since the 1960s.
The latest procurement includes spare engines, related training solutions, and planning tools in addition to the aircraft.
The new planes are set to arrive between December 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.
