ZURICH — The Swiss government will sign a contract by the end of March to buy 36 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighter jets, it said on May 18, 2022, pressing ahead without waiting for a referendum on the $5.5 billion deal.
Switzerland chose the F-35 last year as its next-generation fighter jet, angering opponents who said they would ensure a referendum was held to overturn what they called an unnecessary “Ferrari” option.
The government said it was unclear whether the purchase could take place under the same conditions if the deal had to be renegotiated once the offer expires next year.
