New Meteor Missiles
Here’s New Meteor Missiles Move Quickly From Prototype to Deployment The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) announced that it has received the second batch of Meteor missiles, which will be installed on the four F-39E Gripen multi-role fighters it received from Swiss aircraft manufacturer Saab Aeronautics last month. The new batch was delivered as part of a deal for 900 million Brazilian Reals (roughly 200 million Euros) signed in 2019 between the Brazilian air force and the European company MBDA for the supply of 100 Meteor air-to-air missiles. The initial batch of the Meteor missile, consisting of multiple units, was purchased for the development of the aircraft, according to the Brazilian Air Force. The first batch was most likely delivered after the first Gripen aircraft was delivered to Brazil in 2019 to begin the flight testing program.
