Respected Leader
. Enpä taida.Joo, hyvä tuo on mainita että ilmoitus kaupasta ei tarkoita että kaupat on lyöty lukkoon, kuten tässä sanotaan:
This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.
Sinua mahtanee kiinnostaa myös tämä:
(EDITOR’S NOTE At today’s rate, the $6.53 billion cost of the 34 F-35s offered to Belgium equates to 5.33 billion euros, which is 48% higher than the 3.6 billion euro budget that Belgium has allocated to buy its new fighters.
A spokesman for Belgian Defense Minister Steven Vandeput told Belga news agency that the cost figure was “premature,” and that the final price would be determined once the ministry’s own experts have evaluated the Best And Final Offers (BAFO) due on Feb. 14.
In fact, Vandeput’s spokesman might well have been referring to the announcement itself as being premature, which it was.
Lockheed and the DCSA were undoubtedly hoping to keep the price under wraps until after the Feb. 14 deadline for the BAFO.
However, it was the prospect of the shutdown of the US Federal Government on Friday night that prompted the DSCA to issue its notification of Congressional approval. In fact, the DCSA has shut down, and its website as well – which is why the above notification is dated Jan. 18.
This notification also confirms the unit cost of an F-35A is $190 million – over twice the $85 million price that Lockheed is still claiming – and which is very close to the $206 million that we determined for Lot 5 aircraft being delivered in 2017.
And those $190 million do not include the cost of ground equipment and weapons – both things that are required for a warplane to fly combat missions.
So far, governments in Italy, Norway, Denmark and the UK swallowed the Pentagon’s bait, along with its hook, line and sinker, but they did not know the true cost of the planes they were buying.
Even the UK government, which is the largest non-US F-35 partner, still cannot tell Parliament how much they cost.
But now, as Belgium is in the unique position of knowing the true price of all three candidates before it signs an order, Vandeput and the government cabinet will be able to show how good negotiators they are.) http://www.defense-aerospace.com/article-view/release/190048/.html
Eli syy siihen että toteutunut kauppa oli halvempi kuin ilmoitettu, oli se että Belgialaisten hankintabudjetti jäi puolet alle ilmoitetun kauppahinnan. Se kyllä osoittaa että nuo ilmoitukset eivät pidä paikkaansa.
Juttu on pari vuotta vanha, kuten linkkaamasi ilmoitus, mutta tässäkään, kuten ei ole Puolan kaupan dsca-ilmoituksessakaan mainittu olevan aseita. Eikö se ole kummallista? Suomikin on hankkimassa koko pakettia, ainakin lähtökohtaisesti ja siihen 10 miljardiin pitää sisältyä myös kattavasti aseita.
Jos tuo defence-aerospacen epäily osoittautuu todenperäiseksi, se pitää yhtä BAE:n Wartonin pomon sanomisten kanssa. Se tarkoittaa massiivisia piilokuluja, joka korreloisi Belgian lähes lennoston verran vähentyneellä konemäärällä (54 F-16 = 34 F-35).
Kanadan kaupoista:
But using publicly available information, officials were able to provide "rough estimates" of the cost of each of the different aircraft in the running to replace the CF-18s.
The Super Hornet came out best: officials pegged the average cost of each jet at between $88-million and $110-million, depending on the source of information and which of the various options were included.
That compared with between $110-million and $144-million for an F-35, while two European fighters also in the running were even more expensive.
