Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan on Thursday gave his blessing for the Air Force to buy six additional Grippen fighters from Sweden starting next fiscal year with the budget spreaded over five years.
The planned procurement would complete the deployment of a squadron.
Prawit said the financing would be allocated from the Air Force budget, hence not be a burden on the government spending.
