LN: Czech, Slovaks to connect their fighter squadrons
Citat:A working group comprising of Czech Republic and Slovakia officials are finalizing details that will see both countries’ Air Forces inter-operate with each other.

Under the new plan, ground crew from both countries will be trained on servicing fighters from both sides. Each country’s fighters will also be given freedom to fly across each other’s airspace during an air interception.

Citat:The Czech Republic and Slovakia will connect their fighter squadrons in a few months before Slovakia also acquires the Jas-39 Gripen fighters which the Czech military has decided to lease for another 12 years, the daily Lidové noviny (LN) writes today.

Austrijanci u buli....
Austrian Military Going Broke,Only 12 Pilots for 15 Eurofighter Jets
Citat:There are now only 12 pilots available to fly Austria's 15 Eurofighter jets - which were purchased in a controversial deal.
Previously Austria had 18 trained pilots - but for financial reasons it can now only afford to employ 12, a spokesman for Defence Minister Gerald Klug said.
Flying hours have had to be reduced, but at the same time pilots must complete a minimum of flying hours - meaning they have had to employ a smaller pool of pilots. Some pilots have been redeployed in the army, as flight simulator trainers.

Holandjani nisu imali cime da isprate Kuznjecova dok je prolazio...

Citat:When on May 8 the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, sailed through the Channel on international waters, the Royal Netherlands Navy was unable to respond because it lacked warships for the task.

Citat:
Unfortunately, the Dutch have retired their fleet of P-3C Orion aircraft in 2002. In the following years, the Dutch Navy Air Arm, that once operated both Maritime Patrol Aircraft and Lynx helicopter, was disbanded.

Ten NH-90 helicopters, operated by the Defense Helicopter Command (DHC), have replaced 24 Lynx choppers. But helicopters are not the best assets for long range shadowing of enemy vessels.

French Defense Minister Sounds Alarm Over Possible Budget Cuts
http://www.defensenews.com/article/20140524/DEFREG.....udget-Cuts
Citat:Some €7 billion of equipment contracts planned for 2014 and 2015 would be delayed, which would have “disastrous industrial consequences,” Le Drian said. Thousands of jobs would be lost at Nexter and Renault Trucks Defense in the land sector, at Concarneau, Cherbourg and Saint-Nazaire shipyards, and the aerospace industry. Know-how would be lost, he said.

Koliko imaju spremnih razarača iz klase De Zeven? Verovatno su im dva kod Somalije? Imaju i 2 komada starih fregata baš u poslednje vreme nadgrađenih Karel Doorman klase. Nije baš da nemaju ničim pratiti. Da bi nadopunili broj brodova sa adekvatnom vatrenom snagom trebali bi još dodatno opremiti patrolnu klasu Holland sa raketama brod-brod.

Citat:IAF Makes 'Extreme' Decision To Cancel Training Flights
Finance Ministry reportedly 'refused' to keep IAF in the air for training; forces a move generals warn will cause serious harm.
IAF fighter jet commanders were informed on Tuesday evening that due to IDF budget cuts it was decided that starting next Sunday, no more training flights will be conducted.
According to the decision, flights would only be carried out as part of actual operations, in instances requiring on-call alertness and at flight school. All training would be halted.
The commanders were told to let pilots in the reserves know that the cutting of training includes them as well, according to Walla!. The decision was made with the support of Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz.
A senior security official said last week the Defense Ministry tried to convince the Finance Ministry to send an immediate 750 million shekels ($215 million) to fund joint expenses for minimal maintenance, training and drills.
However, they report that the Finance Ministry "refused to hold logical negotiations while standing on earlier obligations, and therefore we were forced to make decisions of this type."
Finance Minister Yair Lapid has called to slash the defense budget and use the money to improve social services. Last October, it was decided to transfer 2.75 billion shekels from the budget surplus to defense, after the defense establishment asked for an increase in its budget following a series of streamlining steps.
The IDF Spokesperson Unit said "the IDF planned in a responsible manner the work plans for 2014 according to the missions and the size of the army as was approved in October by the Cabinet, and in January by the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee."
"Throughout that time the meaning of the approval of a work plan with a lacking budget was presented to all the relevant sources. It was clarified that in May, the IDF would reach an extreme point where hard decisions would be demanded," concluded the statement.

Drones gain ground in Israel after Cobra helicopters cut
Citat:Israel has phased out one of its two types of U.S. attack helicopter in favour of using more drones, military officers have told Reuters, reflecting a need for lighter and cheaper air power to counter Islamist guerrillas on its borders.

They said Israel's last squadron of Cobras, built for tank-hunting and eluding surface-to-air missiles, was pulled from service late last year. The decision was previously kept under wraps but disclosed in an increasingly public feud between the Defence Ministry and Treasury over budget cuts.

The air force will also operate between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday to Friday under the new proposal.

Previše pizze i slanine: Britanski vojnici "predebeli za borbu"
http://www.index.hr/black/clanak/previse-pizze-i-s.....56026.aspx
Citat:"Sunday Times" piše da je između travnja 2011. i ožujka 2014. na provjeri palo 29.600 muškaraca i 2.819 žena. Prema riječima jednog glasnogovornika vojske, to je ukupno 11 posto svih vojnika. Dodao je međutim da su mnogi od njih kasnije položili test.
List tvrdi da je u istom tom razdoblju više od 22.000 vojnika bilo u toj mjeri izvan forme da su bili izloženi riziku dijabetesa, visokog krvnog tlaka ili srčanih poteškoća.
Prema riječima jednog časnika, za loše zdravstveno stanje vojnika kriva je loša prehrana. "Sunday Timesu" je rekao da britanski vojnici u Afganistanu za doručak dobivaju jaje na oko sa slaninom, za ručak pomfrit a za večeru pizzu, a kao prilog često dobiju kolač od sira.
Malo off-a.
