What is it about?

The aim of the HX fighter programme is to replace the performance of the Hornet fleet, which will be decommissioned by the Finnish Air Force in 2025-2030, with a solution based on a multi-purpose fighter. The largest single public procurement in Finland’s history (acquisition price of EUR 7-10 billion) was launched in 2016 and the procurement decision will be made in 2021. Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company, offers Finland F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Growler multifunction fighters.
