Swiss Government Seeks Funding for Fighter Jets
The Swiss government announced today that it will ask parliament to approve an additional 394 million Swiss francs for the procurement of F-35A fighter jets.
TL;DR
- Switzerland requests an additional 394 million Swiss francs for F-35A fighter jets.
- The government previously decided to reduce the order of F-35 jets due to rising costs.
- The initial deal in 2021 was for 36 jets at a fixed price, but the US clarified this meant matching Pentagon prices, subject to change.
- Price changes are attributed to inflation, raw material costs, and supply chain disruptions.
