Perú avanza en la compra del KAI FA-50
(1 de Julho de 2024)

El gobierno de Perú está avanzando en las negociaciones con su par de Corea del Sur y la empresa KAI para la compra de entre 20 y 24 aviones de combate ligero KAI FA-50, para lo cual se espera la firma de una carta de intención en las próximas semanas y de un contrato antes de fin de año, que alcanzaría los casi 780 millones de dólares. Según indicaron fuentes desde Perú y Corea, el objetivo sería un programa similar al ya realizado con los entrenadores KT-1, de los cuales se vendieron 20 a la Fuerza Aérea del Perú (FAP), 16 de ellos ensamblados localmente por el SEMAN (Servicio de Mantenimiento) de la FAP en la Base Aérea de Las Palmas.

Así, se apuntaría a que la mayor parte de los FA-50 sea ensamblada en Perú, con algunos componentes producidos localmente, y se destinarían al reemplazo de los Cessna A-37B Dragonfly que empleó hasta 2023 el Grupo Aéreo Nº7 (que hoy opera los KT-1) en Piura y los Aermacchi MB-339 que operaron Escuadrón Aéreo No. 513 del Grupo Aéreo Nº51 en Pisco.

Actualmente, además del FA-50, la FAP estaba analizando una propuesta de Brasil por 24 Super Tucano por 480 millones de dólares, otra por el Leonardo M346, por un monto no informado, y otra de Textron por el avión Scorpion. Si bien la oferta brasileña implica un costo de inversión mucho menor, el Super Tucano tiene capacidades inferiores al FA-50 para misiones de defensa aérea y ataque, así como es una aeronave bastante similar en performance al KT-1 que ya usa la FAP. Además, no implicaría participación de la industria local. En cuanto al Scorpion, la falta de clientes del avión, que no ha logrado venderse a ninguna fuerza aérea en más de una década, lo vuelve poco atractivo.

El gobierno coreano además está ofreciendo a Perú sumarse al programa del caza de quinta generación KF-21, dado que Indonesia está reduciendo su participación en el mismo y complicando financieramente al programa. Perú está buscando un avión de combate para reemplazar a sus MiG-29, que están fuera de servicio, y luego a sus Mirage 2000P, que ya están alcanzando los 40 años en servicio. Si bien se está apuntando al F-16, del que se busca incorporar 24 ejemplares, la participación en el programa KF-21, si bien implicaría una inversión mayor, le permitiría al país dar un enorme salto tecnológico y ampliaría notablemente sus capacidades en la industria aeroespacial.

Peru may buy up to 24 South Korean FA-50 light combat aircraft followed by potential KF-21 Boromae fighter jets.
(2 de Julho de 2024)

According to Pucara Defense on July 1, 2024, the Peruvian government is negotiating with South Korea and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) to acquire between 20 and 24 FA-50 light combat aircraft for approximately $780 million. In addition to this significant investment, Peru is also considering joining the KF-21 fifth-generation fighter program, which could further modernize its air force and expand its aerospace capabilities.

As reported by Santiago Rivas, the Peruvian government is in discussions with South Korea and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) to purchase between 20 and 24 KAI FA-50 light combat aircraft. A letter of intent is expected in the coming weeks, with a contract likely to be finalized before the end of the year, amounting to approximately $780 million. Sources from both Peru and Korea have indicated that this initiative aims to replicate the KT-1 trainers' project, where 20 units were sold to the Peruvian Air Force (FAP), with 16 assembled locally by the FAP's Maintenance Service (SEMAN) at the Las Palmas Air Base.

Italy to spend 7.5 bln euros on new Eurofighter jets, document shows

ROME, July 8 (Reuters) - Italy is planning to spend just under 7.5 billion euros ($8.1 billion) over the next 11 years on 24 new Eurofighter jets, according to a document by the Ministry of Defence seen by Reuters on Monday.
The procurement will renew the fleet of Italy's air force given the necessary decommissioning of aging Eurofighter and Tornado jets at a time of increased defence spending by NATO alliance members caused by heightened geopolitical uncertainty

The twin-engine, supersonic Eurofighter Typhoon jets are built by a German, British, Italian and Spanish consortium, represented by Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab, BAE Systems (BAES.L), opens new tab and Leonardo (LDOF.MI), opens new tab.
Given the order will be made by the Italian air force, Leonardo will be assigned as prime contractor.
A spokesperson for the Italian state-controlled aerospace and defence group declined to comment on the document. In June, a senior company executive told Reuters the government would announce the plan shortly.

 "The programme ... will have a multi-year development time frame of approximately 2024-2034 ... for a total amount of 7,477.3 million euros ," the defence document said.
It added funding was already in place for 690 million euros, while the remaining 6.8 billion would be financed through arrangements to be determined in the future.
The aircraft will replace 26 aircraft that Italy is planning to substitute from 2028 and the contract will provide technical support for the jets and staff training.

Relevant parliamentary committees are due to issue by mid-August an opinion on the purchase programme - submitted late last week by Italy's government - paving the way to a final approval.
Germany last month also announced it would buy 20 additional Eurofighters. Berlin's air force currently operates 138 of them.
"Emerging technologies available to competitors mean that air supremacy, a key element of aerospace control, cannot be taken for granted and in some situations may not even be achievable," the document said.

The order will allow Italy to transition between the Eurofighter and the new Global Combat Air Programme, to which Rome is contributing alongside Britain and Japan, for the development of a new advanced fighter jet, expected to fly by 2035

Super Tucano para o Paraguai

A Embraer anunciou hoje, no Farnborough International Airshow, a venda de seis aeronaves A-29 Super Tucano para a Força Aérea Paraguaia (FAP). O contrato inclui equipamentos de missão e pacote logístico integrado, com as entregas previstas para 2025.

 “A defesa é um bem público puro, pois presta à sociedade um serviço que contribui única e exclusivamente para a estabilidade da nação como elemento essencial para o desenvolvimento integral de um país. Isto tem um impacto positivo não só nas questões que dizem respeito ao exercício da soberania nacional, mas também em todas as áreas de desenvolvimento. A Força Aérea Paraguaia tem a missão constitucional de zelar pela integridade territorial e, no seu âmbito, exercer a soberania efetiva do espaço aéreo, enfrentando novas ameaças, como o combate ao tráfico de drogas e ao crime organizado transnacional. Para fazer frente às ameaças emergentes, estamos em processo de modernização de nossos meios aéreos e de detecção, e os comunicados estarão à altura dos padrões tecnológicos que nos permitem aplicar corretamente as medidas impostas na Lei de Vigilância e Proteção do Espaço Aéreo Paraguaio de forma a contribuir efetivamente para a preservação da paz e da segurança regional e internacional”, disse o general do ar Júlio Rubén Fullaondo Céspedes, Comandante da FAP.

O Super Tucano é líder mundial em sua categoria, com mais de 260 aeronaves encomendadas, mais de 550.000 horas de voo com 60 mil em combate. O número de Forças Aéreas que operam o A-29 Super Tucano cresce continuamente devido à combinação de características únicas que permitem a escolha de menor risco, flexível e possuindo o conceito de manutenção simples, que oferece altos níveis de confiabilidade, disponibilidade e resistência estrutural com baixos custos de ciclo de vida.

Egipto deverá substituir os seus F-16 pelo J-10C:

Egypt to replace F-16s with China’s fighter jets
(7 de Setembro de 2024)

Egypt has reportedly signed an agreement with China to purchase J-10C fighter jets, aiming to replace its aging fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons.

According to various reports, the deal for the Chengdu J-10C, also known as the "Vigorous Dragon," was signed on August 19, 2024. This acquisition would make Egypt the second international customer for the J-10C, following Pakistan.

The move follows growing speculation that Egypt is seeking alternatives to modernize its air force as the country begins to phase out its older F-16 aircraft. The J-10C is a multi-role fighter jet equipped with advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry. Its capabilities have been compared to the American F-16, with particular strengths in air superiority missions.

The deal comes after Cairo declined offers from both the United States and Russia to upgrade or replace its fleet. Egypt reportedly considered, but ultimately rejected, an American package for modernizing its F-16s to the F-16V variant. Additionally, the country turned down Russian offers for MiG-29 fighters, following negative experiences with the MiG-29M aircraft purchased from Russia in 2015.

In a recent display of military cooperation, China showcased its J-10C aircraft at the Egyptian International Air Show, marking the first time these fighters have performed in Africa.

Também tinham encomendado o Su-35, no qual pelo menos uns 17 caças foram fabricados para a encomenda egípcia mas depois acabaram por cancelar o contrato.

Draken:

New Honey Badgers for the UK
(5 de Outubro de 2024)

On Friday 4 October 2024, the UK based part of the Draken International fleet welcomed another three Aero L-159E 'Honey Badgers'. Draken's L-159E N275EM can be seen here, touching down at Teesside, arriving at its new base as 'Artic 01' inbound from Keflavik. During its long ferry flight it was accompanied by fellow L-159E N274EM 'Artic 02' and N270EM 'Artic 03' (both in grey camo).

N275EM however is sometimes referred to as 'Desert Badger' or 'Mocha Badger', which, in our opinion, is fairly logical looking at its exterior. As far as Scramble's information goes, the trio was ferried from San Antonio (TX) where Draken recently seems to have lost an aggressor training contract to their colleagues of RAVN.
