BERLIN – The cost of Switzerland’s acquisition of F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin has escalated beyond initial estimates, leading to a reassessment of the deal in Bern.
However, the possibility of reducing the number of aircraft purchased remains open. The working group will reevaluate the specifications for the new fighter jets, initially set in 2017, to ensure they meet Switzerland’s future air defense needs. “This will also involve reconsidering the size of the fleet,” Sievert mentioned.
