From the Defence Media Centre on Wed 16/05/2012:
Sounds like a our Tigers have a similar problem that the USAF is having with the F-22A fleet. Now there are two types that I never thought I'd draw a connection to in the same sentence! BC |

Though not related, but it is on an operational side:
We know of the French ALAT taking 3 Tigre's to Afghanistan in recent years, the German Army Aviation's "HEER" are to deloy later this year two to three Tigers HAPS themselves They have 23 in HEER operation. As Spain is out of the Ghan, that only leaves us to send a few over per participants of the Tiger program. Since we're only held up by night "lighting" issues, can we expect the Germans to have found formation light bulbs for their Tigers? Gordy :ph34r: |

So why in late 2012 have our Tiger AR Helo's still not been deployed to Afghanistan? The first two ARH helicopters were delivered to Australia on 15 December 2004. ARH deliveries were to be completed by June 2010. Full operating capability was planned for December 2011.
What's the hold up? We have 19 operational or just stuff it and let our CAS be US Cobras, Apaches and A-10s. This post has been edited by Martin Edwards on Aug 20 2012, 02:17 PM |
