Truth be told, I think that it’s too much plane for an F-5 replacement, though if the Swiss get a good deal out of French desperation for an export sale, more power to them.

Same applies to the Eurofighter Typhoon, only more so, though, since the Swiss already operate F/A-18 Hornets, the jump to the Super Bug would not be so big.

My money though, is still on the Gripen, it’s a lot cheaper all along the life cycle, and the Swiss don’t really need the additional range of the larger aircraft.
