Citat:The first F-35 for the Netherlands rolled out of the F-35 production facility on 1 April 2012. The aircraft will be assigned to Eglin AFB, Florida, later this summer. The Netherlands will use the conventional takeoff and landing jet, known as AN-1, for training and operational tests for pilots and maintainers. AN-1 will undergo function fuel system checks before being transported to the flight line for ground and flight tests in the coming weeks.

Dutch to buy fewer F-35 jets than planned - minister


04/12/2012

AMSTERDAM | Sun Apr 15, 2012 2:20pm BST

(Reuters) - The Netherlands will buy fewer than the 85 Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets it had planned to acquire because costs have risen and the country needs to replace fewer F-16 fighters, the Dutch defence minister said on Sunday.

The costs of developing and building the F-35, which will replace F-16 fighters, have been rising. Japan and a U.S. Air Force official have warned they may order fewer planes if costs go up further.

Asked on Dutch television programme Buitenhof if the Netherlands still planned to buy 85 F-35 planes despite higher costs, Dutch Defence Minister Hans Hillen said: "The next cabinet will decide. It will certainly be fewer."


The Netherlands had planned to buy a total of 85 F-35 planes over the period 2019 to 2027, the Dutch Defence Ministry said in a letter to parliament last year. The ministry has reserved 4.5 billion euros to replace the existing F-16 fighters.

Hillen declined to say how many F-35s the Netherlands would buy instead but said fewer F-16s needed to be replaced.

"When we signed up (for the F-35) we took the number of F-16s at the time as a basis. When I became minister we had around 90 F-16s. Now we have 68," Hillen said.

The Netherlands has not finally agreed to buy the F-35 planes but is participating in the development programme and has ordered two F-35 test planes, of which the first has been constructed.

A new Dutch cabinet, which will take office in 2015 unless the current government falls early, will make the final decision about replacing its fighters.

Lockheed is developing three variants of the new plane for the U.S. military and eight partner countries: Britain, Australia, Canada, Italy, Turkey, Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands.

Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp (UTX.N), is building the F-35's engine.

Ukratko: Holandjani će kupiti manji broj F-35 pod izgovorom rastuće cene i smanjene potrebe. Kako sami kažu, oni se u opšte nisu ni obavezali da ga kupe nego samo učestvuju u razvoju i treba da dobiju dva komada na procenu od kojih je jedan stigao.
Za sada sa 85 broj holandskih je pao na 68.

Taj koji je stigao nije u Holandiji nego je na Floridi gdje su Holandjani otisli na obuku.Piloti i Tehnicari a u Augustu stize i drugi.pozz.

opet manji broj i tako ce skoro svaki narucioc smanjivati kolicinu sto znaci da je razocarao kupce i to je vec definitivno.

Meni se objašnjenje Holanđana čini vjerovatno. Cijena je porasla a potrebe su sve manje. Nema razloga da ne smanje. A prave performanse če da se iskažu tek u realnoj primjeni. Za sada ja ne vjerujem ni onima što lože visokoleteču propagandu, a ni onima koji ga tuku u zemlju (a samo su ga vidjeli na slikama). Neke tamo simulacije sve se rade na nekim pretpostavkama, koje i ne moraju da budu realistične.
