A bit of news in HX-program

Finnish defense forces weekly “Ruotuväki” published an interview with strategic programs chief Mr Lauri Puranen. The gist of the thing is that in next spring a tender for 64 fighters. So F/A-18 C/Ds will be replaced on 1:1 basis.

This just leaves Finnish Air Force with too few fighters when push turns into shove. Closer the numbers are to, say, 100 the better.  So spend all the money, and get the best value for the €.
