Sverige inleder förhandlingar om fyra fregatter

Sverige ska köpa fyra fregatter från franska Naval Group för att dominera Östersjön. Statsminister Ulf Kristersson meddelade att förhandlingar ska inledas.

Försvarsmakten vill stärka sin närvaro i Östersjön med de nya fartygen. Överbefälhavare Michael Claesson säger att uppdraget är att dominera området.

Naval Group har kapacitet att bygga två fregatter per år. Första leveransen till Sverige är planerad till 2030, följt av en fregatt årligen.

Guillaume Weisrock, försäljningschef på Naval Group, betonade vikten av ett långsiktigt partnerskap. Han sa att bolaget är redo att leverera i tid.
