France never had a stake in that. It was a US-German-Italien developmental project to find a follow on for the PATRIOT SAM. Developing new tech, providing 360° coverage and a lower tier TBM defense using the PAC-3 missile.
I believe in 2011 the US pulled out of it. I don't know the italien stake in the project right now.

There are no position for a refueling operator, cameras replaces.
No aditionnal tanks also much more efficient than KC-767, KC-46 for fuel, personnel qty and range.

Luftwaffe Eyes C-160, Eurofighter Upgrades

Adding an active electronically scanned radar and reconnaissance pod also remains a long-term ambition. Those would be pursued in concert with upgrades being made by other Eurofighter partner countries to cut costs.

Kreuzinger-Janik also wants to make sure the government sticks with its commitment to the Medium Extended Air Defense System (Meads) being developed in conjunction with Italy and the U.S. The commitment is currently under parliamentary review, with Raytheon officials urging the government to simply upgrade existing Patriot batteries and forego Meads. But the air force chief believes that would be a mistake.

How many Typhoon in today buisness? After the latest news are upgrates the Tornado for until 10 or 20 year in buisness.

My news in Swedish armed forces how goes up or down after 2018 from december to juni it's still no offer in Swedish Navy and Air Force personnal in NBG2015 and Task Force in Mali. Still over 15300 forces in Swedish armed forces. And in future forces they will go with just 30 vessels plus 27 combat boats plus 15 Coast Guard boats. 1200 seeman. 4000 in Air Force and 10.000 troops of Army. HMS Carlskrona away and 2 new Visby of class Corvette. 1050 warriors plus 10 seeman x 15 Coast Guard Boats. Maybe to 30 Super Hornets to forces so we have two divisions in Home land 20 pcs in Norrbottens flottilj and 10 pcs in Såtenäs flottilj. Or it will be Rafale from France of 30 pcs the same by divisions in Norrbottens and Såtenäs. 2 new submarine plus 3 in Gotland of class renoveting until season 2021-2022. 5 pcs in total.

What did other belief here?



I try to hold on British Empire last days before this day.
But now it's Swedish and Germans forces.

Biggest vessel in world. NBG2015 have these to remove troops to outside of Somalia just like last year outisde Somalia coast. 800 troops for Sweden from reserves.

Apropå Germany so they will go down with size in armed forces. After 2017 the plannes are 50,000 troops. By 30,000 soldiers, 12,000 seeman and 8000 personnal in Air Force right?? Then big reserve force by 200,000 soldiers. Bigger than today crises in Germans. 265 air craft the future plannes are in Germans. Germans will have reserve force by Typhoon of 100 air craft and on so far they will have 85 upgrate Tornados for around 15 year in future right?? 2018-2021 this is true after of today crises of over 100,000 soldiers in Bundeswehr.

Old Dutch size by 50,000 in armed forces.

Gotland class are 60,4 m(3 build) and Södermanlands are 60,3 m(2 build) and new A26 are 62 meters and have 26 crew omboard. 2nd are mini submarines by 12 crew omboard of these A26. 2 new can weres nothing in buisness. Or this is only war in Defence branch with new armies material??

Maybe Sweden look after this in future??

Plus Spain, Italy and Czech Republic??

National Defence forces the Home Guards. From 1940.

Maybe old plannes are 15250 men of 22,000 men's in south Sweden.

Maybe 5000 men in armed forces. 20,250 in total Defence.

4500 + 13250 in Army and Home Guards Army. Plus 500+2000 in Navy and Home Guards Navy. 2500 seeman total. NBG in future plannes maybe true. New air-to-air defense is possible plus today strenght of Leopard 2A5 plus new hand weapons maybe AK5or or AK6or then more to the Army of material. Nobody will new Gripens in this Total Defence, no Air Force etc etc in this total Defence.

Army and Navy like Middle erch in 1500's in Sweden.

Plus 12,000 in reserves in this strenght of 20,250 soldiers.
