Pilatus PC-9s for Croatia
Goods category: Special military goods
In 1996, Croatia ordered twenty Pilatus PC-9s. The order was cited during the 1997 Swiss referendum campaign in the debate on exports of military training aircraft. Croatia’s Ministry of Defence dates the PC-9’s entry into service to 1996 and the PC-9M’s to 1997.
Effect of the proposed War Materiel Act revision
In Switzerland, special military goods (unlike in most other countries) are not subject to the War Materiel Act, but to the much weaker Goods Control Act.
