Tech transfer pledge steers Thailand to pick Sweden's Gripen warplane
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — The Swedish government's offset package has proved decisive in Thailand's decision to purchase 12 Gripen E/F fighters in three phases. The economic and technology garnishes helped Saab's Gripen offer defeat its American F-16 Block 70/72 competitor. On June 4, the Royal Thai Air Force – or RTAF – held a press conference to announce it was buying more Gripens, with the deal accompanied by a generous package of technical support and offsets. When final offers were submitted last August, Saab had vowed, 'The Swedish proposal will ensure the best return on investment for Thailand that will exceed the contract value through a well-structured, long-term plan that covers key areas of critical technologies and national capabilities for Thailand.' Saab's offset package – equating to around 155% of the project's value – has proved especially appealing to a nation keen to boost its aerospace industry and self-sufficiency. 'The offset committee conducted negotiations with Saab concerning the defense offset proposal with the aims of maximizing benefits and complying with the policies of the government and the minister of defense,' the Thai air service said in a statement: A key element in Sweden's proposal is Thailand's unique, Saab-developed Link-T data link. Currently, only a handful of Thai aircraft and several warships are equipped with it. Bangkok now gains intellectual property rights for Link-T's unrestricted use and expansion. 'Saab will transfer Link-T development capabilities to the RTAF and local defense industry,' reads the service's statement. Link-T will enhance Thailand's ability to perform multi-domain operations. With the U.S. keeping tight control over its data links, Lockheed Martin's F-16 offer could not compete in this regard. Thailand's two Saab 340 airborne early warning aircraft will be upgraded, too, with Thai participation. Additionally, a local Gripen maintenance, repair and overhaul hub will be established. Furthermore, Thai companies will join the Gripen supply chain with opportunities to make components like tires, bearings, clamps and airframe parts. Training support covers 26 personnel, made up of six pilots, 18 maintainers and two support staff. From 2025-29, Saab will provide a mission support system for network-centric flight planning and training, plus a maintenance ground support system for logistics management and maintenance. Saab welcomed its selection, stating: 'In addition to Gripen E/F fighter aircraft and associated equipment, Saab's offer includes a long-term offset package. This will benefit the national security and strategic independence of Thailand, while also bringing new jobs and investments to a range of Thai society sectors.' Thai Gripen E/Fs will come with a Raven ES-05 radar, SkyWard infrared search and track, Arexis electronic warfare suite, a targeting pod and standoff weapon capability, Link-T, Meteor and IRIS-T missiles, and Targo helmet-mounted display. The initial batch comprises three single-seat Gripen Es and a twin-seat F, to be procured for 19.5 billion baht (nearly US$600 million) from FY2025-2029. Eight more Gripen E/Fs will be delivered through FY2034, replacing aging F-16A/B fighters in 102 Squadron. Thailand's aircraft choice followed a decision publicized on Aug. 27, 2024 that the Gripen had been nominated. Now with the selection approved, the air force said the procurement contract would be signed in August.

Donald Trump's Truth Social officially files for bitcoin ETF as company deepens crypto push
Trump Media and Technology (DJT) took a key step toward launching a publicly traded crypto investment product Thursday morning. The newly formed Truth Social Bitcoin ETF business trust filed its S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to register the new exchange traded fund licensing Trump Media's social media brand. The ETF will trade on the NYSE Arca. Thursday's filing is a significant step for Trump Media's move into the cryptocurrency space. The media company, of which US President Donald Trump is a majority stakeholder, announced in January it was expanding into financial services and would offer investment products through a newly created fintech platform Last week, Trump Media said it will spend $2.32 billion to create a Bitcoin treasury, issuing equity to fund the initiative. The move follows the trend of companies across various sectors adding bitcoin to their balance sheets to try to replicate the success of crypto advocate Michael Saylor's company Strategy. The Trump administration has ushered in a friendlier stance toward cryptocurrency than the president's predecessor, President Joe Biden. Trump announced the creation of a national strategic bitcoin reserve earlier this year. The president appointed venture capitalist David Sacks to a newly created White House role of crypto czar, and his pick for SEC chair is well-known crypto lawyer Paul Atkins. Under Trump's administration, the Atkins-led SEC dropped investigations into Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), and other crypto firms as Trump looks to reverse the Biden-era clampdown on fraud in the sector. The price of bitcoin (BTC-USD) is up nearly 50% over the past year and rose as high as over $109,000 in January. But the price also plummeted below $80,000 in April as Trump's trade war roiled the stock market before it recovered again. Trump Media stock fell nearly 2% Thursday morning and is down 54% over the past year. The new Truth Social Bitcoin ETF will be sponsored by Yorkville America Digital — a New Jersey-based affiliate of asset manager Yorkville Advisors — and will track the price of the cryptocurrency. is the both the custodian and liquidity provider for the ETF, meaning it safeguards as well as buys and sells the cryptocurrency. Truth Social, and Yorkville America Digital first announced a partnership to launch a series of exchange traded funds in March. Earlier this week, NYSE Group submitted regulatory paperwork to list the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF. Laura Bratton is a reporter for Yahoo Finance. Follow her on Bluesky @ Email her at
