The Czech Republic will study an improved offer from Sweden cutting the price on a long-term lease for Gripen fighter jets, Defence Minister Alexandr Vondra said on Monday. The Czech government has pushed Sweden to lower the current price once the lease of 14 of the Saab-made jets expires in 2014. “The Swedish side has offered much better terms (than in the summer). The offer is 10 percent better,” Vondra told a news conference.
