Hkp 16

[ecafrze]

I tråden som handlade om Hkp 4:s sista flygning fanns en länk till försvarsmaktens hemsida. Där pratades det om att man nu förberedde mottagandet av en för mig okänd typ, Hkp 16! Någon som vet mer? Är detta interimslösningen medan man väntar på Hkp 15? Pratar vi Blackhawk eller EC725? Eller är alltihop ett enda stort missförstånd?

Välkommen fram från under stenen

Ja HKP 16 är äkta och affären har gått till UH-60M Black Hawk (det återstår detaljer innan avtalet skrivs under vilket bör ske denna månad). 15 stycken maskiner redo för internationella uppdrag.

HKP 15 har slutlevererats.

Får man skylla på att man varit ute ur landet..? För övrigt lyckades jag nog förvirra mig själv, Hkp15 är väl Augusta 109:an, den jag avsåg borde väl varit NH90 (Hkp14)?

[Karl Persson]

Helikoptersituationen och debatten kring den har varit helt galen dom senaste åren så du skall nog vara glad för att ha varit utomlands. Ja NH90 har knappt börjat levereras. Strul strul och åter strul.

I kontraktet som skrivs med USA om UH-60 så ingår ett totalgrepp med utrustning, tidsramar och träning. Huvudmål: På hösten 2012 kommer en slutövning hållas i Sverige för att i Februari 2013 skicka ner maskiner till Afghanistan för att ersätta 2st HKP 10 som inleder ett två-års uppdrag med start nästa månad.

Det trista med inköpet är att Regeringen har inte skjutit till några nya pengar så annat materiel har skjutits på framtiden eller blir inte av alls. Drabbar främst marinen.

Vilka summor pratar vi om?
Därmed "drabbade" matrielköp?

Sten Tolgfors gör nu beslutet officiellt och du hittar kostnaderna i artikeln också.

Sikorsky har idag kommit med följande pressrelease.

Sweden Becomes 1st European Nation To Procure
UH-60M Helicopters


May 18, 2011

STRATFORD, Conn. – Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. today announced that the U.S. Government has agreed to sell 15 Sikorsky UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopters to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (or FMV, which is the Swedish acronym) for operation by the Swedish Armed forces. The transaction will take place under the U.S. Government’s Foreign Military Sales program, and represents the introduction of the latest and most technologically advanced BLACK HAWK model into Europe. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

The Swedish Armed Forces will use the aircraft for medical evacuation, utility, and search and rescue missions. Sikorsky is slated to deliver six of the helicopters in 2011 and the remaining nine in 2012 under an accelerated production schedule.

Sweden is a member of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan.

“We’re honored to support the Swedish Armed Forces, and we congratulate them for being the first European Union nation to choose this highly evolved UH-60M aircraft, which is part of a lineage of aircraft that have proven themselves countless times under the most extreme conditions all over the world,” said Mick Maurer, President of Sikorsky Military Systems.

The UH-60M helicopter is the latest version in the long and highly successful BLACK HAWK family. It is flown by the U.S. Army and provides additional payload and range, advanced digital avionics, improved handling qualities and situational awareness, active vibration control, and improved survivability compared with the predecessor UH-60L model.

The BLACK HAWK helicopter is well known for its ruggedness, survivability and mission flexibility, having logged more than 9 million flight hours since the first model was introduced in 1978. Worldwide, approximately 2,700 are in operation today. Sweden will become the 26th nation to operate BLACK HAWK helicopters and only the second in Europe, where Austria operates UH-60L models. U.S. forces have flown various BLACK HAWK models for 1.2 million flight hours to date in Afghanistan and Iraq without a single material failure.

Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture and service. United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., provides a broad range of high technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.

Kan någon bekräfta serienummren ?

>>The photo also shows 161326 on the tail plus code "02" ( second example ? ) - the type is HKP16 in Sweden so maybe
