Markus Gygax

Markus Gygax is a former commander of the Swiss Air Force and a seasoned fighter pilot. Known for his strong advocacy for national defense, Gygax has recently spoken out in favor of increasing the Swiss fleet of F-35 fighter jets, arguing that a mere 30 aircraft would jeopardize the country's security. He emphasizes that in light of the changing global security landscape, particularly the perceived threat from Russia, Switzerland must maintain a robust military presence to ensure peace and stability.
