History.
The Northrop F-5E Tiger II is a supersonic light fighter jet that has been a key component of the Swiss Air Force since its introduction in the 1970s. Developed by Northrop Corporation in the United States, the F-5E Tiger II was designed to be a cost-effective, versatile, and reliable aircraft. Switzerland acquired its first F-5E Tiger IIs in 1978 as part of a modernisation effort to enhance its air defense capabilities. The Swiss Air Force selected the F-5E for its excellent maneuverability, relatively low operating costs, and suitability for the country's mountainous terrain.
Throughout its service, the F-5E Tiger II has been used primarily for air defense, reconnaissance, and training purposes. The Swiss version is equipped with advanced avionics and weapons systems tailored to meet specific national defense needs. Despite being an older model, the F-5E Tiger II remains in service, playing a vital role in maintaining Swiss air sovereignty and providing valuable training for pilots. Its longevity and continued relevance underscore the aircraft's effectiveness and the Swiss Air Force's strategic foresight.
