If new orders are not received in the near future, there may be a loss of important industry skills required for the construction of future generations.
In the UK, Eurofighter Typhoon Fighters almost stopped. The reason is the lack of new orders. Soon the last plane will be transferred under a contract with a catar that ended in 2017. On Sunday, July 6, the Financial Times reports.
It has been noted that for decades, warriors collected in BAE systems larger than Warton in Lancashir. However, the task of the final assembly line has almost stopped, and the company is preparing to move the last plane under a contract with Qatar for £ 5 billion.
According to the publication, the government has not posted orders for new aircraft since 2009, and further exporting orders from Saudi Arabia and Qatar has not been agreed.
If new orders are not received in the near future, there may be a loss of important industry skills required for the construction of the next -generation fighters as part of British’s participation in the Global Military Aviation Program (GCAP).
General Secretary of Unite Union General Sharon Graham said the Bae and the whole United Kingdom defense industry “will be asked to be the government promising to make” British growth, British jobs, British skills, British innovations “can be allowed.”
Storm aircraft are built by a Pan -european consortium, which includes Bae, Airbus and Leonardo, while each company makes different details for each aircraft. They also control the final assembly line of each country partner-when a country partner orders an aircraft or lead an export transaction, it collects an airplane.
The publication records that the British government’s recent decision to obtain F-35 F-35 fighters, and not to make the new sequence for the most modern storm, again spread discussions on the country’s defense priorities.
Although the United Kingdom has pledged to modernize the current storm aircraft, especially to establish a new radar, it is the only country in a consortium that has not placed an order for the last model.
British Defense Minister John Hilly last week refused to comment on the issue of prospects of a new confession -but said that recent strategic defense reviews confirmed the importance of the storm aircraft and the need for modernization.
Hilly also noted the Defense Committee that the UK is expected to buy a party from 27 F-35 warriors, which will begin to act at the end of the decade, 15 to which will be the F-35B changes, that is, suitable for basing aircraft. The other 12 will be F-35A changes capable of carrying tactical nuclear bombs.
Industry managers said negotiations of receiving new storm export orders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are advocating.
Aerospace magazine editor Royal Aeronautical Society Tim Robinson said a break in the “ongoing aircraft meeting in the UK could be temporary.” At the same time, he added that “the longer the rest, the higher the risk of losing the basic skills and the critical experience needed for the next generation.”
The British Ministry of Defense says the storm will remain “the basis of the British air defense somehow up to the 2040s.” At the same time, future investment in the storm “depends on the investment plan in the defense, which will be published next year.”
Remember that by the end of last year it was reported that Italy had ordered 24 Eurofighter storm fighters. The contract for aircraft supply was signed in Rome of Nato Netma and the Typhoon of Consortium Eurofighter.
Earlier it was reported that Türkiye was talking to Great Britain and Spain on the purchase of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon.
