Zitat:Future Fighter Aircraft Requirements in Emerging Economies
LONDON --- In the next ten years there will be a continued growth in purchases of new fighter aircraft. Outside North America and Western Europe (Eurofighter and/or JSF buyers), this will especially be the case in Asia where up to US$ 7 billion may be spent on new fighter programs.
In Eastern Europe and Latin America several countries will be making important strategic decisions about the future of their air defence capability in the near future and this could lead to contracts potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars being offered to fighter aircraft manufacturers. It is therefore essential that the companies involved are kept aware of these opportunities in order to offer best possible conditions to potential buyers.
When it comes to Asia, the two most interesting cases are India and China, although more purchases are also to be expected by Malaysia and Indonesia. India expects to experience sustained economic growth in the next decade and wants to ensure that no threats to her security will endanger this growth and to reinforce her position as a global power. In line with that, there will be large-scale purchases in order to improve certain capabilities and replace equipment nearing the end of service life.
