The offer, which was submitted to the Swiss Federal Office for Defence Procurement, meets the requirements to replace the F-5 and F/A-18 fleet that Switzerland is currently using, according to Airbus. It was made in cooperation with the other Eurofighter nations and partners such as Leonardo SpA and BAE Systems PLC.
