A lot of members here are biased, but I think the population stands out quite a bit compared to the average forum as the percentage of actual pilots, maintainers and people with actual related know-how (aerodynamics, radars...) is quite high.
Besides, the opinion of the public on these matters should not and does not matter as we're not privy to all the relevant information anyway; so why get up in arms?

Maybe our Finnish members can ask the same on their local defense forums?

Does anyone want to share their choice and the reasons why???

I did not vote for that, but not many real possibilities. I could see a case for F-16 Block 70 if F-35 wasn't available. Russian aircraft are out of the question and I really doubt we'd go for Chinese aircraft. KAI-FX is too troubled and might not see service ever. TAI TF-X is also not really a possible option for many reasons.
