    UN SUCCESSEUR DE NOUVELLE GÉNÉRATION POUR LE GRIPEN

    Par Stefan Barensky - 25 juin 2020 Stockholm souhaite moderniser sa force aérienne face à la menace posée par Moscou. Cela va passer par l'intégration dans son armée de l'air d'avions de combat Gripen E/F de Saab, mais aussi par la mise en chantier d'un chasseur de nouvelle génération. Il y avait déjà le NGF (Next Generation Fighter) franco-germano-espagnol du Système de combat aérien futur (Scaf) et le Tempest britannique, mais l'Europe va bientôt se retrouver avec un troisième chasseur de nouvelle génération en développement. L'annonce est intervenue discrètement, et de manière laconique, le 15 juin, dans un discours en téléconférence du ministre de la Défense suédois, Peter Hultqvist, lors du forum des chefs de mission de l'Otan, dont son pays n'est pas membre. Parlant du danger que représentent pour les démocraties les efforts de déstabilisation par la désinformation, il a surtout mis en avant son intention de mettre sur pied une agence de défense psychologique. https://www.aerospatium.info/un-successeur-de-nouvelle-generation-pour-le-gripen/
