Saab has two giant deals in progress. In the spring budget bill, the government is asking the parliament for authorization to approve the sale of reconnaissance and fighter jets to Denmark and Peru, reports Dagens Industri.

In the proposal, it is proposed that Denmark should be allowed to buy up to four radar surveillance aircraft of the type Global Eye. When Sweden purchased one from Saab last year, the bill came to 2.6 billion kronor, which suggests that the deal with Denmark could be worth over 10 billion kronor, according to Di.

The second deal concerns Peru, which, according to the proposal, "is considering replacing its fighter jets with JAS 39 E/F", also known as Gripen E/F, as well as accompanying air defense systems. The government therefore wants to obtain authorization to sell up to twelve Gripen aircraft in an intergovernmental deal.

The price tag for Gripen has varied over the years, but if Saab sells twelve aircraft, it's a multi-billion deal.
