Polen interessiert ander Beschaffung von bis zu 60 L-159
Polen ist nach den Worten des Sprechers von Aero Vodochody an der Bechaffung von bis zu 60 L-159 interessiert ("between two and 60 L-159s"). Die Verhandlungen dazu befinden sich in einem noch frühen Stadium.
Die ganze Sache muß im Kontext eines Beschluß der Verteidigungsminister der Visegradstaaten gesehen werden, die den Vorschlag Polens für eine gemeinsame Trainingsbasis (in Polen) aufgriffen und letzten Monat bei einem Meeting beschlossen hatten. Die 2-60 L-159 sollen einmal dann dort stationiert werden ... (wenn es zur Beschaffung kommt...).
"Poland interested in buying Czech fighter aircraft
PRAGUE (AFP) Jun 23, 2004
Poland may buy up to 60 L-159 light combat aircraft from the Czech plane manufacturer Aero Vodochody, company spokesman Vitezslav Kulich told AFP Wednesday.
"We are in discussions about selling between two and 60 L-159s to Poland but the discussions are at an early stage and nothing will be agreed for some time," Kulich said.
Poland is leading efforts to establish a joint training base for air force pilots from the Visegrad Four countries - the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia as well as Poland. All four joined the European Union on May 1.
The countries' defence ministers aproved the plan at a meeting last month.
According to Czech Radio, the planes would be purchased to equip the training base.
But Kulich said he could not confirm that.
"The joint training centre is a matter for the Poles that we cannot comment on," he added."
