Austrian Eurofighter Typhoon AGGRESSIVE DEMO SHOW at Zeltweg Airshow 4Kᵁᴴᴰ

Post by ruge75 »



Austrian Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon EF-2000 AGGRESSIVE DEMO SHOW at AirPower 2019 the Airshow in Zeltweg the only fighter jets air base in Austria. Austrian Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte) selected the Eurofighter Typhoon as its new air defence aircraft. Austrian Air Force purchased 15 Eurofighter Typhoon in June 2007 and the first aircraft (7L-WA) was delivered on 12 July 2007 to Zeltweg Air Base. In July 2008, the Austrian Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte) assigned the Eurofighter Typhoon to Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) duties, by the end of the year they had been scrambled 73 times replacing the old SAAB 35 Draken and the rented from Switzerland Northrop F-5 Tiger.

By October 2013, all Typhoons in service with Austria had been upgraded to the latest Tranche 1 standard. In 2014, due to defence budget restrictions, there were only 12 pilots available to fly the 15 aircraft in Austria's Air Force.

In July 2017, the Austria Defence Ministry announced that it would be replacing all its Typhoon aircraft by 2020. The ministry said continued use of its Typhoons over their 30-year life span would cost about €5 billion with the bulk being for maintenance. By comparison it is estimated that buying and operating a new fleet of 15 single-seat and three twin-seat fighters would save €2 billion over that period. Austria plans to explore a government-to-government sale or lease agreement to avoid a lengthy and costly tender process with a manufacturer. Possible replacements include the Gripen and the F-16.
