Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet - Danemark

Le 2000, on n'en fabrique plus ( je ne dirais rien de plus à ce sujet ), quant au Rafale aucun intérêt. Pour les besoins de la force aérienne danoise, il est tout simplement… trop.

En ce qui concerne le 2000, Ciders a tout dit. Pour ce qui est du Rafale, rien n'empêchait d'essayer, comme pour la Hollande, mais bon…

Le Typhoon n'a pas été proposé non plus, ou du moins pas encore. C'est un signe.

C'est pas faux.

Le Gripen, il me semble, avait été proposé au Danois, celà me semble un choix logique pour eux vu que l'ami suèdois n'est pas loin et de son coût faible.

Le Gripen est mon chouchou et, selon mon point de vue, il est celui qui est le mieux placé pour remporter le marché. Que feraient les danois de Typhoon ou Rafale ? C'est too much. Les autrichiens ont acheté des Typhoon mais le grand voisin parlant la même langue a poussé dans ce sens.
Le Gripen est largement suffisant.

Ah mais complètement !
Toutefois, j'ai bon espoir qu'un jour viendra où les pays européens favoriseront les produits européens, et entre scandinaves, pourquoi ne pas se mettre d'accord ?
C'est ce qui me fait pencher pour le Gripen, plutôt que pour renouveler leur flotte de Viper.

Ils sont déjà passés au standard MLU, acheter des Block 60 n'augmenterait pas de beaucoup leurs capacités aériennes. Acquérir le Gripen E/F, ce serait peut-être mieux pour eux.

Air Force Contingents conducting Baltic Air-policing mission will rotate during a ceremony at the Lithuanian Air Force Aviation Base in Siauliai, January 4. US troops who have been guarding Baltic airspace till present will transfer the mission to the Danish Contingent. Having conducted the mission in 2004, this is going to be a second duty period of Danish Air Force in Lithuania. US Ambassador in Lithuania, advisor to the Danish Ambassador in Lithuania, US and Denmark’s Defence Attachés in Lithuania, leadership of Lithuanian Air Force and Aviation Base, representatives of Siauliai town and other guests are expected to be present at the exchange ceremony. Danish Air Contingent will guard Baltic airspace with the strength of 50 troops and 4 F-16 fighters. NATO Baltic Air-policing mission has been conducted by Belgian, Danish, British, Norwegian, Dutch, German, American and Polish air defence contingents since 2004 for three months each. Turkish, Spanish, Belgian and French forces fulfilled the commitment from spring 2006 on a four-month rotational basis. The succeeding contingent of Romanian Air Forces completed a 3-month duty period, Portuguese were deployed to the mission for 1,5 months, Norwegians, Polish, Germans and Americans – for three months each.

Boeing is stepping up its campaign to offer the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet to Denmark, with two US Navy examples scheduled to visit Copenhagen in early February. "Denmark is a particular area of focus early this year," says Tom Bell, head of business development for Boeing Military Aircraft. "We want to help the Danish establishment understand that the Super Hornet represents a fantastic opportunity for recapitalisation." A defence commission is expected to deliver a document by late March outlining the Danish military's next five-year plan, and Bell says that while "this won't recommend fighter A, B or C", it could identify "what any new capabilities should be in a new aircraft". Separately, Denmark's Defence Command is assessing its possible next-generation fighter solutions, with the Super Hornet having last year been added to a list already including Lockheed's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and Saab's Gripen NG. This process is likely to conclude in the second quarter of this year, says Bell, potentially leading to a recommendation on its future fighter options by mid-year. Despite Boeing's late inclusion in the process, Bell says "it is our true belief that this competition is open and fair, and that the Danish government and ministry of defence plan to make up their minds on true facts". Several Danish pilots flew the Block II Super Hornet at NAS Oceana in Virginia last October as part of an initial assessment of the type's multirole capabilities, Boeing adds. A pair of USN-owned two-seat F/A-18Fs are scheduled to land at Copenhagen airport on 3 February for an overnight stop en route to participating in the Aero India 2009 exhibition in Bangalore. Their presence will underline a campaign that has also recently seen Boeing Integrated Defense Systems president Jim Albaugh make repeat visits to Denmark.

On propose le Rafale ou c'est pas la peine ?

Qui est partenaire de niveau 3 du programme F-35? Le problème n'est pas tant que le choix politique a déjà été fait sous quelque pression que ce soit, que le choix économique semble lui déjà acquis.

Le choix du Danemark concernant le futur remplaçant de ses f16 a été reporté en 2010 au plus tôt (alors que c'était initialement prévue pour la fin de cette année).
De plus, le nombre d'appareils à acheter serait compris entre 25 et 35 et non plus 48 comme initialement prévu.
Enfin, il reste à décider qui sera choisi entre le Saab Gripen NG, le JSF de Lockheed Martin ou le Boeing Super Hornet pour remplacer les actuels F-16.

Chiche !

D'après Air & cosmos, il faut rajouter le Typhoon parmi les prétendants.

Danish Fighter Selection Delayed, Again
http://defense-archive.teldan.com/Article/Danish-Fighter-Selection-Delayed-Again.aspx?&sID=450893


On Oct 22, 2009, the Danish MoD announced that it was deferring a decision on the selection of a new fighter for the Air Force until 2010. The postponement is attributed to concerns over ongoing cost overruns in the F-35 Lightning II (JSF) program, in whose Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase Copenhagen has been participating as a third-tier partner.
