It has been in the air for some time,
but now a spokesman for the German Ministry of Defense has confirmed
that the German Airbus Tiger attack helicopters
will not be upgraded to the Mk3 level
and will be withdrawn from service in the period between 2031 and 2038.

no, An anti tank helicopter it is not. Never was. > BW bestelde immers de UHT-variant. <

(Dat gezegd, wat is de kans dat ze überhaupt 2030 halen, laat staan '38, het is nu al hangen en wurgen). :roll:

Dat dekt een deel, maar niet het hele verhaal over de beoogde opvolging. Oftewel, er staat nog meer op het Duitse verlanglijstje.

Iemand fluisterde stellig dat er een dikke streep door dat 'andere' item op het verlanglijstje is gezet.
En
dat dat lijstje zelfs is weggegooid.
