Swiss Push Back Fighter Deal Competition

The official word is that they are looking for more industrial involvement by Swiss industry, but the effect is to push back the date of the decision.

The competitors still standing are the Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon, and the SAAB Gripen

Of note is the fact that they are still evaluating noise data, which would tend to favor the smallest aircraft (Gripen), and it looks like they want the Swedes to purchase their Pilatus trainer should they win.
