Kuidas rikas riik Itaalia ostis USA vanarauda
Peace Caesar
The Italian AF accepted the first F-16A (#MM7238) at the Ogden ALC on May 16th, 2003. This particular aircraft wears 37 Stormo markings. On
March 15th, 2001 the Italian government signed an LOA for a 5-year lease (with an option on another 5 years) of 34 F-16s and four spare airframes, in a deal worth up to $777 million over a 10-year period. The aircraft were delivered between July 2003 and November 2004. In total, 30 F-16A ADFs as well as 1 F-16B ADF and 3 F-16B Block 5 & 10's will be delivered. Four more planes will be provided for use as spare parts.
Before delivery to Italy, the aircraft are brought out of storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. and transfered to the Ogden ALC at Hill AFB, Utah, where they undergo 220 days of refurbishment and upgrades.
The Falcons are given a complete refurbishment, which complied with all technical compliance-technical orders that have changed since the aircraft was placed in stasis in Arizona. The depot teams at Hill AFB did structural modifications including Falcon-Up, which replaces particular bulkheads and the structural life improvement program, which strengthens holes around the fuel cell panels and wheel wells by compressing the molecules with 30,000 pounds of pressure. The wings were removed and the bulkhead furthest aft that holds the vertical wing was replaced. The landing gear was refurbished and its bulkhead was also replaced.
The flight controls actuators are replaced with new actuators. In addition the computers and instruments that provide the Falcon its technological edge are removed, sent to the appropriate facilities to be tested then repaired if necessary. All equipment that is a time change item and that has less than a full year's worth of service left is changed.
Approximately 100 Italian Air Force maintenance officers, instructors and technicians are receiving F-16 maintenance training at Lockheed Martin facilities in Fort Worth, Texas.

34 lennukit koos kapitaalremondi ja väljaõppega=777 miljonit USD 10a jooksul. Aasta makse 2,2 miljonit USD. ADF ei ole küll MLU, kuid on AIM-7 Sparrow võimeline. See on USA kontinentaal-õhukaitse versioon, millel muuhulgas on peal prozektor piiririkkuja tuvastamiseks pimedas.

25 kapitaalremonditud lennukit=268 miljonit USD. Sisaldab väljaõpet, varuosi ja uuenduskomplekte. Maksti 6 aasta jooksul, 10,8 miljonit USD per lennuk, aastas, 1,8 miljonit USD lennuki eest.
Teada euroopa riigid, kus endal reaktiivlennuväe kogemus 40 aastat olemas, vast nad huupi rämpsu ei osta?
Mis on vahe üleskõpitsetud F-16A ja Euroopa MLU vahel? Mõlema eest küsitakse 10M USD, vahe on jääktundides, sest MLU on struktuuritugevdusega saadud tundidest osa ära lennanud. Samas on MLU AIM-120 võimeline. Tavalise F-16A upgrademine AIM-120 võimeliseks läheb maksma mõne miljoni USD ringis.
Kui kõrvutada neid arve, siis JDW on ilmselt võtnud "täispaketi" hinna. Vaevalt need vanad romula lennukid nii palju maksavad, on arvukalt tehinguid, mis näitavad vastupidist.
Toimiva ja töökorras lahingulennuki ja esmase koolituse eest tuleb laduda välja kuskil 9-12 miljonit USD per tükk või rendi korral ca 2 miljonit USD per aasta.
