The Swedish government announced a donation of 13 billion kronor ($1.23 billion) in military aid to Ukraine, the largest assistance package Sweden has offered so far. The aid includes air defense systems, artillery ammunition, armored vehicles, and two Swedish-made SAAB ASCC airborne early warning and control airplanes, which will strengthen Ukraine's air defense capabilities in addition to the promised donations of American F-16 fighter jets. While ruling out sending JAS 39 Gripen jets for now, Sweden is considering contributing with the Gripen system later. Belgium has also pledged 30 F-16 jets to Ukraine, and the support package marks Sweden's 16th donation since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
