The Swedish government said Tuesday it is looking to buy the
Patriot missile-defense system made by Raytheon Co., which it hopes
to have operational by 2025.
Sweden said in a statement that it planned to open talks with
the U.S. government to acquire the system, which is used by U.S.
armed forces and militaries in the Middle East and some other
nations.
Sweden said it planned to make a formal request for the Patriot
system next year.
Sweden also considered a rival system built by Eurosam.
