Swiss Tiger partial replacement postponed

Post by Blank Fang »

Swiss Federal Council decided on todays meting to postpone the purchase of a partial replacement of the F-5 Tiger fleet of 54 fighter jets until maximun 2015. The reason is the current financial situation of the federation and other priorities. The necessity to replace the ageing aircraft has been confirmed.

Auf Grund der derzeitigen Finanzlage des Bundes und der allgemeinen Prioritäten verschiebt er hingegen den Zeitpunkt der Beschaffung bis spätestens 2015.
