According to the newspaper, the Arms Export Authority, ISP, in November issued a positive advance notice for the export of the fighter aircraft to the country.

The ISP does not want to comment on the data.

In an email to Aftonbladet, Karl Evertsson, former head of the munitions group, now Foreign and Security Policy Advisor, writes that "this type of information is subject to confidentiality".

"Primarily foreign secrecy, but as a rule also commercial secrecy.

ISP cannot therefore confirm or deny such information," he writes further.
