In a surprise move, Israel has offered F-16 Baraks upgraded to 'Barak 2040' standard to Croatia. The modernised jets would be included in a deal involving F-16A and F-16B Netz fighters.

Croatia has a requirement for 12 aircraft to replace a similar number of MiG-21s. Saab has offered its Gripen for the requirement.
