The NATO defence alliance is considering replacing its fleet of AWACS aircraft with Saab GlobalEye surveillance planes.

According to Reuters, citing several people with insight, NATO plans to replace its AWACS aircraft with Saab GlobalEye planes. The decision is set to be announced at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, on 7–8 July.

Both NATO and Saab have declined to comment on the reports. The Saab share rose on the Stockholm exchange and was up 6.3 percent at 14:40.

In late May Canada opened negotiations to buy GlobalEye. The talks will among other things determine how many planes are to be delivered, according to Saab CEO Micael Johansson around six units.

Watu wanasema nini

Discussions on X focus on NATO's potential shift to Saab GlobalEye as a move toward European strategic autonomy and away from US suppliers, with positive sentiments on European capabilities and stock gains, alongside neutral reporting on the procurement change and possible US tensions.
