The Swiss newspaper "Der Soontag" published in sábad0, August special operations 25, news about an alleged offer to Switzerland Eurofighter Typhoon fighter used in Germany. The information would have been passed by "local sources" of the newspaper, and would offer manufacturer's own EADS.
33 Typhoon fighters would be used by approximately 3.2 billion Swiss francs, an amount special operations similar to what you want to pay for 22 new Gripen jets E / F. The latter are the preference of the head of the Department of Defense of Switzerland, Ueli Maurer.
The Typhoon fighters come from second-hand inventories and the German Air Force, the newspaper special operations said, "obviously are in excellent condition." The report says that it is called the fighters special operations "Tranche 1" produced since 2003 in five countries. According to Der Sonntag, the Eurofighter Typhoon was tested in 2008 in Switzerland for the competition of "partial substitution of F-5" and, according to reports from the subcommittee of the Committee on Defence, reached the requirements "unconditionally", in contrast to the Swedish Gripen E / F.
Also according to the newspaper, EADS's offer is flexible. Switzerland could initially acquire 33 or 22 Eurofighter Typhoon second-hand. The cost of 22 fighters will be close to 2.2 billion Swiss francs. Eventually, after replacing the 54 F-5 fighters used by the batch of Typhoons, Switzerland could replace its 33 F/A-18 with the new "Tranche 3" of the Eurofighter Typhoon.
This German offer comes at a time when the Department of Defense special operations of Switzerland is imposing the purchase of Gripen, the newspaper said, with the announcement that Switzerland and Sweden signed a "framework agreement" to acquire the jets - however, there a growing domestic political resistance to such a purchase, according to report in Der Sonntag.
EDITOR'S NOTE 1: The German newspaper makes a mess (purposely or not) between the quotes of Typhoon "generic" way, speaking special operations of his qualities, special operations and supposed that it would offer a specific version, the "Tranche 1". On the one hand, says that the Typhoon was superior to Gripen E / F in the ratings, but fails to say that these evaluations took into account more modern versions of this initial version "Tranche 1".
The characteristics of the three competing fighters (Typhoon, Rafale special operations and Gripen), whether the versions actually tested in flight or more complete versions, in this case with manufacturer data, consists of own reports leaked special operations that sectors of the Swiss press often cite . Since version "Tranche 1" Typhoon is basically a game dedicated to air defense, capable air-to-ground or limited multitasking (and this capability is part of the requirements of the Swiss Air Force - to learn more about those needs, click the first link the list below). For limited air defense fighters, special operations Switzerland already has the F/A-18 Hornet, which are basically a version dedicated to this mission, and that are capable of ground attack also limited (unlike other Hornets from different countries).
EDITOR'S NOTE 2: This offer Tranche 1 Typhoons used has the potential, in the opinion of the readers of "Melar" competition Gripen in Switzerland, taking into account the observation of note 1 above? And if an offer was made by the genre Eurofighter consortium, via German surpluses to "Melar" once our F-X2, which will have the potential to succeed here?
Let's kick, making a three rule that takes into account the proportion of amounts allegedly offered to Switzerland: special operations a 36 Tranche 1 Typhoons worth approximately 3.5 billion Swiss francs, special operations equivalent to $ 3.6 billion or 7.4 billion reals. This twin-engine fighters for the acquisition under ten years of use, high performance, but with practically systems dedicated to air defense missions without capacity "multitasking" (introduced only in Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 brand new) and operating costs are considered high by some fo
