Maar ze zijn wel partner binnen dit mega Europese project! En daar is men binnen de Politiek ontzettend blij mee.
Verder voegen ze natuurlijk 0,0 toe aan het project met hun kennis en/of industrie wat een of meerdere andere partners niet kunnen leveren.

Last post by Benji87 - Vandaag om 18:37Ik persoonlijk vindt het wel bijzonder om te zien dat het gros van deze tanks niet eens in uitgeschakeld door andere tanks maar door mijnen, artillerie, anti tank raketten en nu dus drones. Het toont de kwetsbaarheid van een tank wel aan maar tegelijkertijd laat het ons ook zien dat oorlog voeren vanaf nu een hele nieuwe dimensie erbij krijgt met die drones. Ik vind de beelden af en toe echt griezelig om te zien.

Niet te doen, ben bij vrienden en die zitten vast in hun perspectief. Ik moet hier mn mond houden over trump, abortus en andere politiek.
Het NAVO standpunt is wel bespreekbaar. We moeten betalen en daar hebben ze gewoon gelijk in. Echter, Amerikanen denken dat alles op te lossen is met power play.
Het werd wel eindelijk stil toen ik aangaf dat als we Trump tijdens de Cuban missile crisis aan het roer hadden gehad, we hier nu niet hadden gezeten.

Last post by Sparkplug - Vandaag om 14:35Poland's Future F-35s Have Been Officially Named "Husarz"
The name for Poland's F-35s, chosen via a public competition, draws on the nation's military history for inspiration.

Lockheed Martin
Following a public competition to choose the name of its future F-35A Joint Strike Fighters, Poland has revealed that these aircraft will be locally known as Husarz, or hussars. This name pays homage to a very specific cavalry unit from the country's military past.
The winning name was announced earlier today by the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces. The competition itself began on April 12, and entrants were encouraged to submit their name suggestions via the General Staff's competition adverts on Facebook and X. In all, the Polish Air Force is set to receive 32 F-35As from Lockheed Martin, with deliveries expected to begin this year through 2030.
As the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces indicated, almost 800 individual names were submitted. The first stage of the competition, spanning April 12-18, involved identifying the top five most popular name ideas. These were revealed as 'Halny,' 'Husarz,' 'Harpia,' 'Dracarys,' and 'Duch' on April 22. Facebook and X users were asked to choose their favorite name of the five, of which 'Husarz' came out on top.

Belgium has joined France, Germany, and Spain in the Future Combat Air System (FCAS)/Système de Combat Aérien du Futur (SCAF) programme, with the Belgian government saying the country now has observer status.
Defence Minister Ludivine Dedonder and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Labour Pierre-Yves Dermagne announced the news in a joint communiqué released on 26 April.
"On 24 April the government obtained observer country status for Belgium as part of the FCAS/SCAF development programme," the communiqué said.
As detailed in the announcement, the observer country status will afford Belgium access to information on the programme and its development, and will be able to participate in strategic discussions. "This will allow Belgium to get a clear idea of the programme and its implications for the Belgian defence industry," the ministers said.
"At the same time as obtaining its observer status, Belgium is starting a specific research and development programme of EUR60 million [USD64.15 million]. This programme aims to position the Belgian defence industry in the best possible conditions to participate in the SCAF programme," the ministers added.
Dermagne said that given Belgium's recent experience of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter programme, it was decided to come in on the FCAS/SCAF effort at the earliest opportunity. "This should then allow us to obtain significant and structuring societal returns, while also having the opportunity to acquire the necessary know-how from the first phases, for the benefit of our companies and our workers," he said.
