These three aircrafts afterburners have been purchased by Brazilian Air forces as well as Swedish air forces.

There has been no set time that I agreed upon for the first flight on the jet. This first flight incorporates the advancements over earlier versions of the C/D. The most prominent addition to the change is the active electronically scanned radar. Saab officials are planning to add the Slovakia to the lists of Gripen export fighter customers after next month due to the general election.On February 18th 2016, Richard Smith, head of Gripen Sales mentions that the Slovakians are in a negotiation with Saab in order to acquire 8 of the new C/D variant aircraft. “Negotiations are ongoing as they head into an election and most likely the contract will be signed after the election is over” said Richard Smith.

It can be noted that the Czech and Hungarian air forces already operate the C/D version. However, this operation of aircrafts is under a lease arrangement.
