瑞典派「鹰狮」战机赴意大利参加北约核威慑演习
瑞典政府10月9日星期五宣布，将派遣JAS 39「鹰狮」战斗机与武装部队人员参加北约年度核威慑演习「坚定正午」（Steadfast Noon），演习自10月13日起在意大利举行。瑞典的角色为常规支援，演习不使用实弹核武器。
北约称，17个国家将参加这一长期规划的演习，内容为训练人员并测试其核威慑程序；盟军可搭载核武器的飞机也将参加。北约将演习描述为与当前事件无关的例行训练。
首相克里斯特松表示，瑞典的参与为联盟安全作出贡献；国防大臣荣松称，演习展示了保卫北约成员国的战备状态。
瑞典公告未给出「鹰狮」战机数量与人员规模。这是瑞典加入北约后在联盟核威慑训练框架中的一次公开参与，受到欧洲安全界关注。
Sweden Sends Gripen Jets to NATO Nuclear-Deterrence Exercise in Italy
Sweden will send JAS 39 Gripen aircraft and armed forces personnel to NATO's annual nuclear-deterrence exercise Steadfast Noon in Italy, starting October 13, the government announced on Friday, October 9. Sweden's stated role is conventional support, and no live nuclear weapons will be used.
NATO says 17 countries will participate in the long-planned exercise, which trains personnel and tests procedures for its nuclear deterrent, and describes it as routine training unrelated to current events. Allied aircraft capable of carrying nuclear weapons also take part.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson says Sweden's participation contributes to the alliance's security, while Defence Minister Pal Jonson describes the exercise as a demonstration of readiness to protect NATO members.
The announcement gave neither the number of Gripens nor the size of the personnel contingent. The deployment marks a public Swedish role in the alliance's nuclear-deterrence training framework since joining NATO.
