Citat:The Gripens were meant to replace the Botswana Defence Force’s (BDF’s) ageing fleet of US-made F-5 fighter jets acquired over two decades ago.
However, Defence and Security minister Shaw Kgathi said no deal may be signed with Sweden and Botswana is already looking beyond the Gripen deal for better and more affordable aircraft options.
“Nothing has been finalised yet. In fact, nothing much has been done (with regards to the Gripen deal). We are still looking for better and affordable deals,” Kgathi told the Botswana Gazette.
T-50/FA-50 je bio u planu ranije pre nego sto su Svedjani uleteli u pricu
Citat:Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is promoting its FA-50 lighter fighter in Botswana, where it hopes to beat the Saab Gripen as a replacement for the Botswana Defence Force’s (BDF’s) CF-5 jets.
Botswana’s Sunday Standard last week said it had been passed documents which show KAI’s proposal to the BDF. Titled “FA-50 for the Botswana Defence Force: The right choice for the future,” they are dated May 2017.
KAI, according to the Sunday Standard, claims the FA-50 is an affordable acquisition with a low operating cost compared to its competitors from European countries; has a proven weapons capability and would be ideal for training as it can perform both combat and training missions. Korean officials apparently said the FA-50 has life cycle costs that are a third of the Gripen.
A Korean delegation met Botswanan defence minister Ramadeluka Seretse and other BDF officials to discuss the T-50 and FA-50 models in November 2013, with talk of Botswana acquiring 16 T-50s. In October 2015, President Ian Khama visited South Korea and a KAI headquarters. However, last year Botswana entered into talks with Sweden over the possible acquisition of second hand Gripen C/D jets.
