Saab Secures Order for Hungary

Saab, a leading aerospace company, has recently announced that they have won an order to deliver four Gripen fighter aircraft to Hungary. This order was facilitated through the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), which oversees military equipment procurement for the Swedish government.
