Not sure how any pragmatic thinker in Swiss defense est would sign on any aircraft other than F35. The timeline these aicraft will have exist goes well into 2060. At that point most if not all other aircraft will run into LRU availability (Mirage 2k already) and maintenance problems, not to say technically obsolete to provide any deterrence for backing their neutral stance.


They need an aircraft thats technologically viable to be upgradable throughout its lifetime and has a feasible maintenance routine charted out to 2060-70, F35 solves that.
