Germany to use Saab system to enable Eurofighter for electronic warfare role

BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany plans to use a system made by Saab as it aims to enable Eurofighter jets for a role in electronic warfare, according to a document seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

Saab’s mission-tested system meets German requirements most comprehensively, the defence ministry said in an information to parliament.
