In December, the HX project led by the Finnish Ministry of Defense to replace the existing Hornet fighters decided that the US-based Lockheed Martin’s multi-purpose fighter F-35A would be selected as the Air Force’s new aircraft.
Finland will purchase 64 F-35A Block 4 multi-purpose fighters, as well as armaments, training and maintenance solutions, other systems and maintenance and servicing services by the end of 2030.
The acquisition is the largest arms trade in Finnish history. The purchase price of the fighters is about ten billion euros.
