Gripen has malfunctioning panel

One of the six new Gripen fighter jets which the Czech Republic has leased from Sweden is not operable due to a malfunctioning display panel. Swedish technicians are reportedly looking into the problem. The Czech military received the fighters only a few weeks ago. Another eight are to be supplied in the second half of the year. The planes have replaced an aging fleet of Soviet MiG-21s. They are being leased for 10 years for almost 20 billion crowns (850 million dollars).
