Swiss Gripen Fighter Aircraft Purchase Clears Hurdle In Parliament
2
By SwissInfo on Friday, September 13th, 2013


The House of Representatives has agreed to buy fighter jets from Swedish aerospace company Saab. The controversial purchase still needs the final nod from the Senate – and the approval of a sceptical public in a likely referendum.

On Wednesday, parliamentarians cleared the necessary proposals: an armaments programme to buy the 22 Gripen planes, a bill providing the financial base for the CHF3.1 billion ($3.3 billion) purchase and the release of the so-called brake on spending – required for any amount above CHF20 million.

The proposal will now return to the Senate, which is expected to clear the purchase later this month. The Senate had already approved the deal in spring, but it had failed to win the majority required to release the funds for the acquisition.

The parliament’s decision brings closer to a conclusion five years of heated discussions. Aircraft purchases for the Swiss Air Force have been disputed in the past. Setbacks, scandals and opposition – mainly because of the costs – have riddled its history.

The purchase of the Gripen aircrafts is no different. The Swiss people are set to have the last word on the hotly debated issue. At least two parliamentary committees – one from the left and one from the centre – have announced they will petition for a referendum, should the purchase be cleared by parliament.

At the end of Wednesday’s discussions, the members of the House of Representatives followed the proposal of Defence Minister Ueli Maurer, who for a last time had praised the qualities of the Swedish jet and justified the expense.

A lot of money

“The Gripen is a first-class airplane of the latest generation,” Maurer said. “It costs a lot of money, but an investment over 30 years is within the army’s budget.”

In the spectators’ gallery, Swedish ambassador Per Thöresson and president of the Council of Europe Jean-Claude Mignon followed the debate.

The centre-left Social Democrats, the Green Party and the centre-right Liberal Green Party had opposed the acquisition. They demanded Switzerland first clarify the army’s future tasks before discussing the purchase of new jets.

“The Social Democrats will reject the proposal because Switzerland does not need any new fighter planes, because the project is not seriously planned and because the Gripen [purchase] is a high-risk project,” said Chantal Galladé.

A paper plane

Opponents also criticised that Switzerland was buying just a plane on paper because the Gripen E model only exists as a design. Another concern was that the purchase was tied to the success of the Swedish economy and Saab’s uncertain future.

Not only pacifist groups and left-wing political parties have been giving Maurer a hard time. A parliamentary committee and lobby groups such as air force pilots have criticised the evaluation procedure or the choice of the Gripen over two other competitors, the Eurofighter and the Rafale.

Advocates of the Gripen purchase, on the other hand, are convinced that Switzerland needs fighter planes to replace antiquated Tiger jets to secure its air space.

“No sovereign state would do without an air force,” said pilot Thomas Hurter from the rightwing Swiss People’s Party.

Maurer, also from the People’s Party, reiterated that the Swiss Air Force was an integral part of the armed forces. “You cannot just remove one part, or you’ll end up with a car with three wheels.”

According to a survey by Isopublic, about two-thirds of Swiss are against the purchase, the polling institute said last week.

Royal Thai Air Force Targets To Become Regional Leading Force By 2019
Citat:According to the Thai armed forces chief, the procurement of the Gripen fighters is aimed at national defence against future threats and not warfare.
Citat:The procurement will be in two stages. The first consisted of six Gripen fighters, a Saab 340 AEW airborne early warning and control aircraft and a Saab 340 B1 transport aircraft, which were gradually deployed in 2010 and 2011, while the second phase comprises six Gripen fighters and a Saab 340 AEW airborne early warning and control aircraft which are to be gradually deployed this year.

SAAF to rotate Gripens
The South African Air Force (SAAF) has decided against placing a number of its SAAB Gripen fighters in long-term preservation to save money, according to the SAAF Director of Combat Systems, Brigadier General John Bayne. Instead, 2 Squadron at Air Force Base Makhado in the north of the country will rotate all its 26 aircraft through its routine flying programme, with some held in short-term storage under corrosion-controlling conditions between flying cycles

Citat:Svajcarci mnogo komplikuju. Juce su izglasali nabavku 22 komada za ukupno 3,1 milijardu CHF. Problem je sto im nacin finansiranja nije prosao na glasanju pa ce se obaviti novo glasanje u gornjem domu. Istovremeno poslanici/partije koje su protiv nabavke planiraju da prikupe 50000 potpisa za referndum protiv nabavke Gripena.
Trenutno je javno mnenje uveliko protiv te kupovine, tacnije 63% po poslednjim istrazivanjima....luda kuca koja moze da oteza i svedsku planiranu nabavku od 60 novih komada.


Izglasase ga....

Gripen E, le Conseil des Etats valide le OUI!
