Sweden is preparing one of its largest military aid packages for Ukraine and is holding talks on the possible transfer of Meteor air-to-air missiles, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov said after a meeting with Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson. According to the Ukrainian side, the package is expected to include air defense systems and radar equipment produced by Saab, along with financial support for Ukraine’s domestic defense industry. The discussions also covered additional electronic warfare systems and unmanned platforms, including long-range strike drones. During the meeting, the two sides also discussed the possible transfer of Meteor missiles, which could significantly strengthen Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian combat aircraft, particularly those launching guided aerial bombs from stand-off distances. Ukraine’s defense officials noted that Meteor would be especially valuable against aircraft operating beyond the reach of most legacy air-to-air weapons currently available to Kyiv. Fedorov added that Ukraine and Sweden are working on additional contributions to the PURL initiative, aimed at supplying Ukrainian forces with critical capabilities, including tools to counter ballistic missile threats. Beyond immediate weapons deliveries, the talks included plans to deepen industrial cooperation. The Brave1 defense innovation cluster is discussing the launch of a joint Brave–Sweden program, which would allow defense companies to access grant funding and test new technologies directly under combat conditions. In parallel, both sides are accelerating efforts to establish joint production of Ukrainian defense technologies in Sweden, a move aimed at speeding up delivery timelines and strengthening long-term cooperation. Meteor is widely regarded as the longest-range operational air-to-air missile in Europe and across NATO. Developed by MBDA, the missile is powered by a solid-fuel ramjet, allowing it to maintain high speed—above Mach 4—throughout its flight and retain lethal energy at long distances. With an estimated range exceeding 200 kilometers, Meteor offers a much larger “no-escape zone” than conventional air-to-air missiles, enabling it to threaten highly maneuverable aircraft, cruise missiles, and UAVs even in heavy electronic warfare environments. Meteor is already in service with the air forces of Sweden, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, and is integrated on platforms including Gripen, Rafale, and Eurofighter Typhoon, with plans for future integration on the F-35. Earlier, reports emerged that the government of Sweden decided to significantly expand the air defense capabilities of the Swedish Armed Forces. The military will establish, train, and equip new territorial air defense units capable of protecting combat forces, mobilization capacity, cities, and civilian infrastructure. Swedish authorities say the decision was shaped by lessons from Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. “The experience of the war in Ukraine clearly shows how vital a strong and resilient air defense is. By building up territorial air defense units, we are complementing existing air defense capabilities and strengthening the protection of mobilization and combat units. This raises the threshold against attack, reinforces Sweden’s defense capacity, and at the same time contributes to NATO’s collective deterrence and defense,” said Defense Minister Pål Jonson. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson also added that Sweden is facing the most serious security situation in modern times, and that the new investments are aimed at protecting society as a whole. He said the measures are about safeguarding people’s lives, freedom, and the country’s ability to withstand attacks across all regions. Investments in territorial air defense units are estimated at approximately $1.63 billion. A separate focus of the talks was the aviation component of future cooperation, including the potential supply of Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine. Swedish officials have previously signaled readiness to sell Ukraine more than 100 Gripen aircraft, prompting political debate in Sweden over financing part of a possible contract.
