Im Übrigen findet heute in Forth Worth (USA) hinter verschlossenen Türen mit der türkischen halbstaatlichen Firma Tusas Aerospace Industries (TAI) und den Veratwortlichen von Bell Helicopter ein möglichweise vorerst letztes aber sehr wichtiges Gespräch statt.
Desweiteren können sich die türken nicht entscheiden, ob sie die israelische Dand od. die amerikanische Hellfire II wählen sollen.
Die Israelis hatten vor ein paar Jahren den türkischen Generälen die weiterentwickelte Panzerabwehrrakete Dandy vorgeführt und die hochrangigen Offiziere beeindruckt.
So od. so wird das Rennen am Ende entweder diese Waffe (Dandy) od. Hellfire II machen.
Hier die Originalnachricht zu dem Gespräch mit Bell Helicopter:
FORT WORTH, Texas --- On August 18, Tusas Aerospace Industries and Bell Helicopter will hold a conference in Fort Worth with all other U.S. subcontractors who seek to participate in the Turkey ATAK helicopter program.
The purpose of the conference is to establish a schedule for finalizing subcontracts required to implement the program.
This meeting follows three weeks of fruitful negotiations between Bell, TAI and the Turkey Undersecretariate for Defense Procurement (SSM). While Bell, TAI and SSM have agreed in principle on most terms and conditions, pricing negotiations remain open and are expected to resume shortly.
The Turkey ATAK program contract calls for an initial 50 King Cobra helicopters.. TAI is the prime contractor and Bell is the lead U.S. subcontractor. The program will provide maximum Turkish defense industry participation utilizing such prominent Turkish firms as TAI, Aselsan, Ayesas, TUBITAK - MAM and Netas. It will support an estimated 2,000 high tech jobs in Turkey during the life of the program. A significant offset package will further boost the Turkey defense industry.
Bell Helicopter is a division of Textron Inc., an $11 billion multi-industry company with 49,000 employees in 40 countries. The company leverages its global network of businesses to provide customers with innovative solutions and services in industries such as aircraft, fastening systems, industrial products and components and finance. Textron is known around the world for its powerful brands such as Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft, Kautex, Lycoming, E-Z-GO and Greenlee, among others.
