HX Fighter Program

Hornet in Finnish Air Force livery

The HX Fighter Program is a fighter jet procurement program of the Finnish Ministry of Defence, aiming to acquire multirole fighters for Finland to replace the current Hornet fighters. If completed, the acquisition will be the most expensive state purchase ever made by Finland.[1] The project started in autumn 2015 and the Government decided to procure 64 Lockheed Martin F-35 aircraft in December 2021.[2] According to the project schedule, the new aircraft would arrive in Finland around 2025–2030.[3]
