Erieye for Saudi Arabia?

Well, Ericsson, after Brazil, Greece, Mexico and Pakistan, is to sell the Erieye AEW&C to Saudi Arabia.

Quoting from wikipedia.com

“Swedish media report that systems have been sold to Brazil and Greece. Saudi Arabia is as of autumn 2005 showing interest. Swedish peace organisations, notably Svenska Freds has protested against the military negotiations with Saudi Arabia.”

And from Svenska Freds (in Swedish. Sorry but they don’t have it in English!):

Has the Swedish government loosened too much the arms sales policy?
