Patria has completed Finland's first locally assembled F135 engine, ahead of the arrival of F-35A fighters in autumn 2026. The achievement lays the foundation for a domestic maintenance network. Finland's F-35A fighters are scheduled to arrive at the Lapland Air Wing in Rovaniemi.
The local assembly of the F135 engine is significant for Finland's F-35A program, as it enables domestic maintenance capabilities and supports the country's defense modernization efforts.
