Neke brojke iz Belgije o ceni i koriscenju. Godisnje bi cena koriscenja bila 8.2 miliona evra po avionu(34 aviona).

Citat:How to explain that the price obtained by Belgium is lower than expected? Has the US government agreed to lower prices?

The F-35 is built 250 copies per year, against 10 or 15 for other devices ... If you take the total amount divided by the number of devices that we buy, the purchase price for Belgium is 76.3 million euros for the aircraft ready to fly. The United States has dropped the portion of historical development costs that should have been paid to them. A gift of 475 million dollars. This kind of reduction, which the US has already granted for other purchases, was becoming rarer. But here they were pushed back by the competition with the British. They also exempted Belgium until 2030 from their portion of future development costs, or 7.2 million per year.

Criticism has been raised about the costs of using the F-35. Can we quantify these costs?

Basically, an hour of flying F-35 costs 30% more than the F-16 in operating costs. But we will steal 30% less hours. Because we will have fewer planes and we will practice more on simulator. In total, where 222 million euros are needed for the F-16s in annual operating costs, we will increase to 229 million. This is much less than what had been planned as a ceiling in the Strategic Vision (270 million). We will stay more or less the same amount, even if the flight time on F-35 is actually more expensive. This is also seen when comparing A400M and C-130 or NH-90 with Agusta.

How will maintenance be done?

Major maintenances, like those for the 300 hours, are removed. As the aircraft have become modular, it will no longer be necessary to immobilize a plane for months. We can just change a module, which will be sent to the civilian industry. There will be less to do in unity. We will have about 250 technicians less on both bases.

Nemam vremena da tražim po netu ali ako neko ima bilo bi lepo da se dogovori ja jedno pitanje. Izrael je do sada dobio 8 F-35 a u naoružanju se nalazi samo 7. Dakle, nije reč da su 7 operativna nego da su 7 u naoružanju. Gde je osmi. Od famoznog sudara sa pticom oni stalno imaju jedan avion manjka u naoružanju u odnosu na isporučene. Ili grešim ?
