The UK government is backing Saab's bid to sell the Gripen E to Thailand, the manufacturer disclosed on 20 March.

Responding to an image posted by UK Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs David Cameron on the same day, showing him climbing into a Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) Gripen C during a trade visit, Saab said that Sweden and the UK would combine their efforts to sell the Gripen E to the Far Eastern country.

“Sweden and the UK stand side-by-side in offering the very best future fighter capability for the Royal Thai Air Force,” Saab said on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.

With eight single-seat Gripen C and four twin-seat Gripen D aircraft already in its inventory, the RTAF is now looking to acquire one additional squadron of at least 12 multirole aircraft from 2025 to 2034. The single-seat Gripen E (and potentially the twin-seat Gripen F) is a contender platform, with other aircraft types being considered also.
