US fighter jets chosen - many unhappy
Switzerland is buying 36 American F-35 fighter jets.
While the move is being welcomed by the US government which says it’s proud to help Switzerland with its air defence, the German government says it regrets the choice wasn’t the Eurofighter Typhoon which is a joint project with Germany, Spain and the UK.
The German embassy says Switzerland was offered a tailor-made deal which would have meant the final assembly of the plane would have been in this country.
The French European minister, Clement Beaune, says Switzerland has turned its back on Europe.
