There’s a joke hidden in here somewhere, can’t yet quite point to it though.
Conservatives are the most naive people on earth.
Don’t be surprised if they end up buying Suchoi SU 57 from Russia.
>Er plädiert für den Einsatz mehrerer Jet-Typen, um Kosten zu senken und die Einsatzfähigkeit zu erhöhen. Eine Mehrflottenstrategie biete im Ernstfall mehr Flexibilität, so der frühere Luftwaffenoffizier.
How do you reduce costs with multiple systems? This really doesn’t make sense, especially for Switzerland’s small air force. Most air forces are moving towards one multi role fighter jet to save costs.
In any case, the reevaluation of all the jets on the market plus bureaucracy plus democracy means that selecting a new jet and having it delivered is ten years out. We don’t have that time. So no it doesn’t make sense at this stage to cancel the F35 contract.
Hmm.
Why? Did russia/china get mad and said they’ll stop posting ads in Weltwoche?
How crazy would it be to produce something domestically
Switzerland was very stupid in this f35 case. Bought the plane in 2021, and bought usd immediately. If we hadnt do that we would have saved money.
Skip the fighter jets. Scale drone factories and own the know-how. We need drones to replace a lot of what’s done with civilian helicopters right now.
