Depuis le temps que ça planait, voilà qu'effectivement la menace risque de se concrétiser :

Avec la chasse aux coûts entamée aux Etats-Unis, le GAO (Government Accountability Office) fait feu de tout bois, et critique les performances des V-22 Osprey déployés en Irak depuis octobre 2007.

Le concept de vision à long terme, ils ne doivent pas trop connaître les bureaucrates du GAO ...


[quote][i]The V-22’s original program cost estimates have changed significantly. From 1986 through 2007, the program’s Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation cost increased over 200 percent—from $4.2 to 12.7 billion—while the cost of procurement increased 24 percent from $34.4 to $42.6 billion. This increase coincided with significant reductions in the number of aircraft being procured—from nearly 1,000 to less than 500—resulting in a 148 percent increase in cost for each V-22. Operations and support costs are expected to rise. An indication is the current cost per flying hour, which is over $11,000— more than double the target estimate for the MV-22. [/i][/quote]

Comme si c'était le seul programme a avoir vu ses coûts exploser...

 
[quote][i]After more than 20 years in development, the MV-22 experience in Iraq demonstrated that the Osprey can complete missions assigned in low-threat environments. Its speed and range were enhancements. However, challenges may limit its ability to accomplish the full repertoire of missions of the legacy helicopters it is replacing.[/i][/quote]


Voilà un point de vue pour le moins lapidaire !!

Décidément...
