Boeingova ponuda za nemce
Boeing pitches more local engagement in bid for German fighter contract
Citat:US aerospace and defense giant Boeing announced on January 12 it is expanding its industrial partnership strategy in Germany in a bid to secure a contract to deliver its F/A-18 Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler aircraft as part of Germany’s Tornado replacement effort.

The company said it released a request for information (RFI) to more than 10 German companies to solicit bids to “play a significant role in providing support equipment, logistics and overall maintenance, parts, local sustainment programs, training, and other relevant repair and overhaul solutions for Germany’s potential Super Hornet and Growler fleet.”

What is more, Boeing also said the German industry would have the opportunity to participate in the development of the Next Generation Jammer for the EA-18G Growler.

The RFIs are the first step towards in-country sustainment worth approximately $4 billion USD/ €3.5 billion over the lifecycle of the programs, and will contribute additional economic opportunity and value to the German economy, the company added.

Nema sumnje da je ovo Nemcima tj. njihovom vazduhoplovstvu mnogo brža, lakša i jednostavnija opcija.

Prvo Growler je već gotov tj. u operativnoj upotrebi dok bi specijalizovani Tajfun ECR trebalo da se razvija bar jedno 5-6 godina, plus troškovi razvoja i proizvodnje bi bili ogromni jer bi se radilo o malom broju aviona (ostali korisnici Tajfuna nisu iskzali interes za učešće u razvoju ove varijante).

Drugo sposobnost nošenja nuklearnog naoružanja.
I opet je ovde Hornet u mnogo povoljijem položaju, naime firma Boeing bi se obavezala da sama izdejstvuje sve dozvole od kongresa i sam proces sertifikacije bi nakon toga išao veoma brzo.

Instalacija američkih nuklearnih bombi na Tajfuna bi podrazumevala da Nemci prvo dobiju saglasnost od svih drugih kooperanata u programu Tajfun (Španija, UK, Italija) i da onda Amerikancima ustupe KOMPLET tehničku dokumentaciju u vezi Tajfuna, pa da se onda radi integracija, sertifikacija itd itd...
Nije nemoguće i neostvarivo, ali ko zna koliko bi trajalo...

AJde da kažemo da Nemcima sam novac nije problem (čak i da izaberu skuplju opciju tj. Tajfuna), ali faktor "vreme" itekako igra rolu (pošto oni već predugo odlažu zamenu za Tornada a sada je skoro doteralo cara do duvara)....

Dakle zdrav razum i logika kažu da Tajfun eventualno može da se uzme da menja Tornada za napade konvencionalnim naoružanjem, a da je Hornet mnogo bolja i brža solucija za elektornsko ratovanje i kao platforma za nošenje nuklearnog arsenala.E sada airbusov lobi u Nemačkoj je prilično jak....neće oni tako lako pustiti da im Jenkiji uzmu ispred nosa tako lep deo kolača.

Čim se pomenu američki avioni, Airbusovi lobisiti u Nemačkoj momentalno počnu da "mašu" radnim mestima za nemačke radnike itd itd....Ameri su to izgleda dobro "osetili" pa sada nude i industrijsku saradnju, radna mesta Nemcima itd itd...

Kuvajtu kasni isporuka
Kuwaiti Air Force’s new F-18s, Typhoons facing delivery delays
Citat:The year 2022 was supposed to be the year the Kuwait Air Force took almost full delivery of two long-awaited platforms that would double its size and multiply its capabilities. However, delays caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic have pushed the delivery and operationalization schedule to 2023 — which may end up a blessing in disguise, as it has given Kuwait more time to figure out the fate of its current fleet of legacy F/A-18 Hornets.
