SWITZERLAND RESTARTS QUEST FOR NEW FIGHTER JET
2016/02/24 AIRHEADS/EH LEAVE A COMMENT
Swizterland is restarting its quest for a new fighter jet for its air force after a botched attempt two years ago to purchase 22 Saab Gripens. New aircraft are still needed to replace ageing F-5 Tigers, defense ministerGuy Parmelin told Swiss government on Wednesday 24 February.
This year the Swiss start setting up requirements for the new fighther plus a set of plans for the selection process and eventual purchase. The selection is set to last until 2020, with a formal decision and order no later than 2022. Deliveries should start by 2025, according toParmelin.

‘No’ to Gripen E
Prior to 2011, the Saab Gripen E, Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon were evaluated in Switzerland. Although not showing itself as the best option in all aspects plus allegations of bribery, the Gripen came out on top. The Swiss government dediced to buy 22 Gripens, but opponents managed to get enough support for a referendum in which voters eventually said ‘no’ to Gripens.
The F-5 Tiger needs replacement, especially since cracks grounded parts of the fleet recently. As of now, 30 out of 54 Tigers are operation. The type was set for retirement this year but may very well fly on for some time.
In 2025, the 31 current F-18 Hornets reach the end of their service life. Extending their service for five years will cost tax payers half a billion Swiss francs (410 million EUR).

الخبر باختصار يتحدث عن اعادة سويسرا للمنافسة التي انتجت اختيارها لمقاتلة جريبن مقابل الرافال والتايفون ..
برغم ان الرافال اتت الافضل في التقييم الفني الا ان الحكومة السويسرية اختارت الجربين .. لكن المعارضة حشدت دعما كافيا لترفض الصفقة والاختيار ..
الآن سويسرا ستعيد المنافسة
ياترى بأي حجة سيتفوقون على الرافال الآن !!
من نتائج التقييم الفني السابق ..
