Hungary and Sweden have signed a defense contract under which Hungary will buy four Saab JAS Gripen fighter jets and expand a related logistics contract, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday.

Hungary leased Gripen fighter aircraft made by Sweden's SAAB under a contract signed in 2001.

Orban said the deal will increase Hungary's air defense capability, adding that its commitment to NATO will increase.
