Belgian Defense Ministry is exploring proposals for the supply of new fighters


The new fighters should replace the F-54 in service with the 16 of the Belgian Air Force, whose service life will expire in the 2023-th 2028 year.

The British Department of Defense announced that it had submitted a final proposal for the supply of Typhoon fighter jets with BAE Systems, and the Joint F-35 program management together with Lockheed Martin submitted the final proposal for the delivery of F-35A Lightning-2.

At present, the Belgian command has begun the procedure for evaluating proposals.

“During this stage, any contacts with state bodies of the supplier countries or companies-applicants are prohibited. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of previously defined criteria, including: total sales value, combat capabilities, military cooperation and interaction, protection of basic security interests, opportunities for further development, ease of use and deployment, operational and technical support ”, - it is said in the publication.

The assessment is entrusted to a group of 33 experts divided into 7 subgroups, each of which will evaluate one criterion.

    Is that Belgium have no choice? Or Typhoon or F-35A?

    In my opinion it was easier to upgrade the same F-16s. And do not soar your brains with the acquisition of expensive toys in maintenance. Especially Belgium. However, the rich have their own quirks.

    During this stage, any contact with government authorities of the supplier countries or companies-applicants is prohibited.

    Hard at them there. And this is in such matters, IMHO, right. We would have this with public procurement recourse

      We are also prohibited. So do not be surprised.

    Do not go to a fortuneteller: at plus or minus the same price, Typhoon is a 4th generation airplane, F-35 fifth.
    Well, the Americans pat the head - the choice is obvious

      F-35 to the 5-th generation does not reach. Yes, and childhood diseases in the "Penguin" above the roof. It’s like a bomber, but like a fighter ... It is not for nothing that the United States is resuscitating production for its Air Force 1000 F-15 and F-16.

          Sorry, I put it wrong. That's right - about 1000 pilots F-15 and F-16 are returned to flight service. Airplanes for them will take, as I understand, from the reserve.

            I doubt that everything is so simple, but thanks for the answer.
            I don’t think it’s so easy to get planes out of amarc: expensive, and even more expensive with modernization. Well, it’s so hard for them to find 1000 pilots now: the people lodged in the airline and are not eager for service, they can’t even get “computer pilots” for drones, a shortfall of a thousand people
            We will not worry
