The Swiss are well advanced in the building of the first aircrafts.
17 Pilatus were ordered for now. They will replace the Alpha Jets based in Tours,which avionics are obsolete.
Part of the Alpha Jet fleet will still remain in service,especially those based in Cazaux that were recently upgraded.

It looks like it wont be a 1:1 replacement. This will be a partial tranche for basic training and France may opt for something else for intermediate+ jet level (and that would be a turbofan trainer of some sort) for the remaining alpha jets to be replaced.
