Hier du Schwachmat:
Also noch mal für dich Depp. Erst gabs 2006 einen Vertrag für 117, dann wurde die Option gezogen und 216 sollten modernisiert werden. Aufgrund von Abstürzen sind es jetzt noch 210 Maschinen die modernisiert werden. Die Block 50 und Block 40 bekommen die volle Modernisierung, die Block 30 eine geringere.Lockheed Martin Wins $635 Million Contract To Upgrade Turkish F-16s
January 05, 2007
Lockheed Martin [LMT] will upgrade 216 F-16 multirole fighter aircraft for Turkey by 2016 under a $635 million contract announced late last month.
Under the terms of the firm-price-incentive deal, which is part of the U.S. Air Force-sponsored Peace Onyx III foreign military sales program, the company will provide modification kits for 76 Turkish Air Force F-16 Block 50 aircraft, 103 Block 40 platforms and 37 Block 30 variants, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced on Dec. 22.
The thrust of the Peace Onyx III program is to create a robust, common avionics configuration for the Turkish F-16 Block 40 and Block 50 aircraft, plus provide a "modest" upgrade to the country's Block 30 platforms, according to Lockheed Martin.
The modification kits include the Northrop Grumman [NOC]-built APG-68(V)9 multimode radar, along with color cockpit displays and recorders, new core avionics processors, Boeing's [BA] Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System, night- vision goggles, the Link 16 datalink, and improved self-protection suites.
