Switzerland select Grippen

[JG53Frankyboy]

but running two different jets inthis times by a small airforce.......
i don t know the useable resttime of the swiss Hornets, but even bigger airforces are going to one type jet. It wil not last long, and the german one wil use only its ~140 Eurofighters. the few Tornados, with the newest plan only 85, will be out of service in a few years.

Switzerlandvand multirole jets, do thes plan to take part on international missions......for homedefence, groundattack.....not realy seriously, therefor i said waste of money.

buying a dozen more of used Hornets (if possible) would be more logical
. but perhaps more expensive than thought to bring them to the swiss standarts, if possible at all.

but in one or two decades thesecGripens would be the only swiss jets anyway, when the Hornets will have reached the end of their structual lifetime.


impersonaly wondering if at least in the "west" the F-35 will not be the last manned jet project for a very long time , if not at all......
