Switzerland to cut F-35A fighter order as US costs exceed voter-approved budget

On December 12, 2025, the Swiss Federal Council announced that it will no longer acquire 36 F-35As as originally planned with the CHF 6 billion ($6.8 billion) budget approved by voters in a 2020 referendum.
“Due to foreseeable additional costs, it is not financially possible to retain the originally planned number of 36 F-35As,” the statement reads. “The Federal Council’s decision avoids any additional credits and responds to the will of the people.”
The government has yet to specify how many aircraft will now be ordered.
