 "excerpt": "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGNAL No. 70\n'Gripen as industrial policy'\nThursday · 28 May 2026\nSweden's Gripen deal is being read as air power, but its lasting element is industrial: a path to building the fighter on Ukrainian soil by 2033, bought with EU loan money ratified the same day. The same week's SAFE deadline shows how unevenly the money lands — Poland overrides its own president to lock in the bloc's largest allocation, while Italy threatens to forgo €14.9bn over the energy costs of the Iran war.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n",
