Slovakia as a NATO member uses ageing Mig29s which we have since Warsaw pact era. There is an ongoing discussion on replacing them. So far the most probable candidate would be Gripen also because Czech Air Force uses them and both countries cooperate traditionally quite tight in the area. (There is an agreement in existence where both countries can cover the neighbours airspace at times if needed.)
Today I saw an article about F16 as another candidate. But because it is expected that Russia could introduce 5th generation fighter in the next future the speculation is that we should jump from Mig29 directly to F-35. I almost spoiled my keyboard with coffee reading this as I don't know what happens with this jet at all and secondly due the traditionally low defence budget I consider this rather unlikely.
Any ideas?
