“Under review” – Tanner is not ruling out buying interceptors

Date:

Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP) is apparently considering purchasing more interceptors. The question arises “whether we should not also increase the number of our interceptors with the additional budgetary resources,” she said in an interview.

When asked if this meant it couldn’t stay with the 15 Eurofighters, Tanner told the “Oberösterreichische Nachrichten”: “Exactly, that is currently being checked.” In a first step, however – as has been announced several times – 1.6 billion will be invested in, among other things, the nocturnal identification capacity and self-protection of the existing Eurofighters.

According to Tanner, the decision on the successor to the Saab 105 training jets should be made in the first half of the year: “I assume the decision will be in the direction of purchasing training aircraft.” These must then be stationed again. in Hörsching near Linz.

Pilot training services are procured
The light, twin-engined Saab-105 jet aircraft were used for the education and training of Eurofighter pilots. Since retirement due to old age, the armed forces are procuring training services for the pilots abroad.
