SWITZERLAND – F/A-18E/F SUPER HORNET AIRCRAFT AND WEAPONS

https://dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/switzerland-fa-18ef-super-hornet-aircraft-and-weapons
Opvallend dat de Super Hornet optie duurder is dan de F-35 optie.
Meestal zijn prijzen niet te vergelijken vanwege eventuele meegeleverde training, spare-parts en wapens, maar in dit geval mogen we er vanuit gaan dat de Zwitsers een vergelijkbaar pakket gevraagd hebben.
Laat zien dat een tweemotorige jet een flinke kostenpost is.
Wel jammer dat het met de reductie in aantallen waarschijnlijk wel einde Patrouille de Suisse zal worden wanneer de F-5 uitgefaseerd wordt.

Overigens belachelijk dat Zwitserland luchtafweersystemen zoals de Patriot gaat aanschaffen terwijl het aantal jachtvliegtuigen steeds verder terug loopt. In de situatie van Zwitserland (geen enkele geavanceerde dreiging voor eigen luchtruim, omringt door vriendschappelijke landen) lijkt me dat je meer hebt aan jachtvliegtuigen dan aan een patriot. Jachtvliegtuigen kun je nog inzetten voor bvb humanitaire interventies of anti-ISIS operaties (niet dat Zwitserland beide snel zal doen).
