Hi all,

Did parliament succeed in returning 8 insted of 3 Cougars to the sky?
And which would be the lucky numbers when correct?

It is not that far already.

The parliament will have to come up with a proposal how to fund it (like with their other wishes, like all patrol-vessels to be procured and keeping Marechaussee at full strength), then the minister is "willing to consider it". And AFAIK only a debate in the Commision for Defense has been held. Not a debate in the complete House, let alone voting.
