Last year, Switzerland selected the F-35 as its next-generation fighter.
In Switzerland, Parliament approved the purchase of 36 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning fighter jets for $5.5 billion. This was reported by The Local.Ch.
It was noted that last year Switzerland selected the F-35 as its next generation fighter. A referendum was even planned to question whether such an expensive one-time purchase was appropriate for the country’s defense.
Later, the government said that they will sign the contract before the referendum due to the fact that after the expiration of the first offer, the prices of the planes will increase.
Recall that the government of the Czech Republic decided to arm the American army with fifth-generation F-35 fighters.
It has also been reported that Greece will buy F-35 fighter jets from the United States, and Canada will increase its air fleet by 88 F-35As in the coming years.
