Israel Requests Buying up to 75 F-35A/B Lightning II Stealth Joint Strike Fighter Aircraft from the US
The US Government is offering Israel 25 F-35A and an option for 50 F-35A or B Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft capable of deploying to unprepared airfields, relieving Israels Air Force dependency on main operating bases, vulnerable to enemy missile attacks. Initial deliveries could begin by 2014. If signed promptly, the Israeli acquisition could preceed most of the JSF consortiums international deliveries, as the programs international partners havent officially placed their orders yet.
The unprecedented $15.2 billion aircraft sale package will extend deliveries of aircraft over a period of about 15 years. The entire sale will be financed through the Foreign Military Sale (FMS) program, and, therefore, Israel has not insisted on an offset package in connection with this potential sale.
The Israeli version of the F-35 will be configured with the standard JSF systems, but could be enhanced in the future with indigenous capabilities. The aircraft will be delivered with a standard suite of Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems including unique infrared flares; Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence/ Communication, Navigational and Identification (C4I/CNI). To ensure its operational independence, Israel will receive unique systems complying with sovereign requirements, software reprogramming center and Hardware/Software In-the-Loop Laboratory to simulate how indigenous developments are integrated into the system.
Israel will gain access to the F-35s logistics backbone, comprising of the globally outsourced Performance Based Logistics including the programs Autonomic Logistics Global Support System (ALGS) and Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS). The package will also include training services and systems, including Flight Mission Trainers.
Saab Offers 85 Gripen NGs to Replace the
Remaining Dutch F-16s
Hague, August 26, 2008: Saab is offering the Gripen NG (Next Generation) multi-role fighter to the Netherlands, in response to the Dutch request for proposals for a successor to the Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16. Saab is offering 85 Gripen NGs, and a comprehensive logistical support package including spares, training and simulators. The company detailed its offer at a news conference held in the Hague, today.
According to Saab Gripen communications director Owe Wagermark, the price Saab is asking for the package is well within the 5.6 billion budget earmarked for the procurement of 85 F-35As. In fact, based on other proposals recently submitted by Saab, the Gripens are expected to cost less.
Saab also offers an industrial cooperation package worth at least 100% of the contract value. Hague was expecting to evaluate several alternatives for the program, but will limit its consideration to the Gripen NG and F-16 Block 60 from Lockheed Martin. Both aircraft are also competing for a large tender current undergoing in India. Hague will evaluate these proposals and capabilities against the F-35A Lightning II, previously considered to be the future aircraft of choice for the RNLAF. To better compare with the JSF, Saab highlights the more advanced capabilities of its new-generation fighter, as reflected in the Gripen Demo technology demonstrator, which offers unique super-cruise performance, sofar provided only wit te F-22 Raptor, extended range capability, flexible weapons carriage and advanced AESA radar.
The recent evaluation was initiated as part of re-examination of the JSF procurement business case mandated by the Dutch Parliament. The decision is expected to be made this year (2008) before committing to the procurement of two aircraft already decided by the Defense Ministry.
The Netherlands has joined the Joint Strike Fighter development and demonstration program as Level 2 partner. This position was reiterated this year the Dutch Ministry of Defense announced its decision to acquire two F-35As in 2009 as part of its participation in the multinational JSF test force, conducting the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) phase. These aircraft will be delivered in 2011 and 2012, and joining the test and evaluation phase in 2011-2013, supporting operational testing and evaluation for all participating air forces. The Royal Netherlands Air Force plans to buy 85 conventional take-off and landing F-35s to replace its Lockheed F-16s, with the nation holding Level 2 status on the programs system development and demonstration phase.
Marketing of the Gripen is currently in full momentum. This year Saab submitted four proposals for the sale of Gripens of various types (NG and C/Ds) in India, Norway, Denmark and Switzerland. Earlier this year the company closed a deal in Thailand, for the sale of 12 fighters and two AEW aircraft.

และซ้าบเสนอแพคเกจ GRIPEN NG 85ลำให้กับ ทอ.ดัชท์ โดยมีมูลค่ารวมทั้งการฝึก อยู่ที่5.6 ล้านปอนด์ เพื่อสู้กับเครื่องบินของอเมริกาคือ F-16 Bkock60 ,F-35
แต่เอ....ทำไมช่วงท้ายบอกว่าปิดดีลกับประเทศไทยด้วยกริเพน12ลำ และเอแวคส์2 ลำล่ะครับ หรือว่าเขารวมทั้งสองเฟสครับ
แล้วตอนนี้ ทอ.อินเดียเลือกใครเป็นเจ้าสาวครับ
MMRCA ของอินเดีย อีกราว 2 ปีแนหะครับถึงจะทราบผล ตอนนี้ผู้เข้าแข่งขันทุกรายยื่นข้อเสนอให้พิจารณาแล้ว ตอนนี้อยู่ในขั้นตอนของการประเมินค่าจากกองทัพอินเดียครับ
