Norge kjøper A330MRTT sammen med NL/BE/DE/LU/PL/CZ

[KrisFlyer]

Flyene får nok en fast base, tilsvarende den poolen som Norge er med på allerede om transportfly. De har base i Ungarn. Samtidig etablerer nok to av de tre landene en satelittbase, tilsvarende det Ørlandet har laget for AWACS, som har sin hovedbase i Geilenkirchen, Tyskland.

C-17 fra PAPA har ingen satelittbase så vidt jeg vet.

Det var akurat denne løsningen jeg var utte etter, blir den i Norge, Polen eller Nederland? Men tiden vil nok vise...

Hvor mange fly kan det være snakk om ?

Four Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft are to form the future shared European fleet of tanker and transport aircraft. The number of four is mentioned in a letter sent to Dutch parliament by the Dutch Ministry of Defense on 18 December 2014. The Netherlands is in the lead in acquiring and forming a shared European pool of tanker aircraft.
The international project has teamed up with Airbus in order to acquire four Airbus MRTTs, with a contract to be signed in 2016 and first deliveries expected in 2020. In that same year, the Royal Netherlands Air Force will retire both its current McDonnell Douglas KDC-10 tankers. Other countries participating in the program are Belgium, Greece, Spain, France, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal and Norway, with a letter of intent signed two years ago. NATO will pay for the aircraft.

The Netherlands, Poland and Norway have decided to prepare negotiations with Airbus Defence & Space for the acquisition of a fleet of A330 MRTT multirole transport and air-to-air refuelling aircraft. The participating nations would welcome other nations to join the initiative either before an actual procurement or subsequently.

Jeg regner med at basen vil ligge i Nederland, som sikkert betaler mesteparten, eller Polen som kan drive base med lavere kostnader. Jeg håper vi vil se dem på Sola flystasjon, som har infrastruktur til å betjene tankfly.

Nå er vel Sola kjent for å gå tom for drivstoff med de utfordringer det medfører, så spørs hvor høyt i kurs de er i en slik sammenheng

Three European nations plan are to pool their resources and purchase Airbus A330 multirole tanker transport aircraft starting in 2019.
The Netherlands, Poland and Norway are preparing to open negotiations with Airbus for a fleet of new aircraft, the European Defence Agency (EDA)

The three nations have agreed to create a NATO Support Agency partnership to run the program and has tasked OCCAR, the European collaborative defense equipment management organization, to open negotiations with Airbus.
A spokesman said they hope negotiations will be finalized with Airbus in 2016.
Industry executives said the three nations have given themselves a "very challenging" timeline to move from completion of negotiations to the start of operations, probably initially in the transport role.

The new European fleet will be equipped with a rigid boom as well as underwing refueling pods.

A minimum of four airframes are expected to be purchased, although the final number depends on the cost of the airframes and whether other European nations opt to join the program.

The EDA spokesman said the assumption is the pooled aircraft will be based at the Dutch Air Force base at Eindhoven, where other European airlift operations are sited
