Las dudas e inconsistencias que persisten tras el comunicado de Saab sobre los aviones suecos que compró el Gobierno Petro
El extenso comunicado emitido por la fabricante sueca Saab, a propósito de la polémica compra de 17 aeronaves Gripen por parte del Gobierno colombiano...
TL;DR
- Saab maintains the Gripen jet purchase by Colombia was transparent and ethically conducted, with no intermediaries.
- Colombia paid significantly more per Gripen jet compared to Thailand, with Saab not providing a clear explanation for the price difference.
- Official documents suggest the US did offer new F-16 Block 70 aircraft, contradicting the Colombian government's claim that only used planes were available.
- Analysts indicate that the Gripen jets purchased by Colombia are still under development, lacking full operational doctrine for air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks, which will be perfected after 2027.
- The Colombian Ministry of Defense has kept the contract confidential, increasing public suspicion and prompting a preventive review by the Comptroller's office.
