T'as de beaux reves tu sais =D

Pourquoi pas mais ça sent la propagande, si le hamas a de tels missiles il y a sans doute de meilleurs moyens de les utilisés.

On va laisser les KSK se dépatouiller alors. :lol:

C'est aussi pour cette raison qu'il y a eu une commande de 15 Aravis.

The Market for Missile/Drone/UAV Gas Turbine Engines Microturbo’s TRI 40/60 series engines power many of the world’s major missile and drone programs. Microturbo’s specialization in high-thrust microturbines has allowed it to become one of the major small-turbine manufacturers. MBDA’s SCALP-EG/SCALP Navale will account for one-quarter of combined TRI 40 and 60 production over the next 10 years. The SCALP-EG is a long-range strike missile; upgrades are planned in the future. The SCALP Navale will be aboard France’s FREMM class frigates and nuclear attack submarines. MBDA is hopeful of equipping Italy’s FREMMs with similar missiles. The Storm Shadow land-attack missile was used with success in the opening days of the Iraq war, and is expected to remain in production until 2014. The MBDA Exocet Block 3 anti-ship missile is an upgrade over the Block 2 variant. Besides offering an improved guidance system, the Block 3 switches from solid fuel to turbojet power for an increase in range. Additionally, the new version has land-attack capability as well as anti-ship uses. The Saab Bofors RBS15 and Kongsberg’s NSM are both anti-ship weapons as well. The NSM will be fielded by the Norwegian Navy aboard shipborne helicopters, while the RBS15 will equip the navies of Sweden, Germany and Poland. Plans to equip the Visby class corvette have fizzled; Saab is hoping to attract more export orders to offset this loss. The BQM-167 Skeeter target drone is replacing the MQM-107, and has been purchased by Germany and Singapore. The U.S. Air Force is evolving its drone inventory and will acquire the Skeeter to meet changing training needs. The U.S. Army is also interested in the Skeeter for ADA (air defense artillery) training. We estimate TRI 40 and 60 production at 2,972 units during the 2008-2017 forecast period.

Si je suis fan de l'Aravis je n'en suis pas moins fan des PVP, PVP HD ou XL ainsi que du VBR. Si on était dans la position de certains pays (Pays BAS, Espagne, ...), c'est à dire sans production indigène je comprendrais qu'on se tourne vers des modèles étrangers mais là ce n'est pas le cas.

# Le conglomérat industriel allemand Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems (TKMS), point d’ancrage d’une future consolidation européenne du secteur naval militaire ?, n° 19/2008, Hélène Masson Rapprochement avec le groupe français DCNS. Une option envisagée en 2005 mais n’ayant jamais abouti. Début octobre 2008, les autorités politiques françaises ne cachent pas leur souhait de remettre ce scénario sur l’agenda. Il est vrai que jusqu’à présent les logiques nationales ont toujours prédominées. La multiplication de programmes nationaux concurrents ayant d’ailleurs pour effet contre-productif d’intensifier la concurrence entre les deux groupes européens sur les marchés export. Malgré certaines réticences de la partie allemande, liées entre autres à l’influence trop grande de l’Etat français et à l’existence de surcapacités, l’année 2009 est susceptible de voir les lignes bouger. Société de droit privé détenue dans un premier temps à 100 % par l'État, DCN a vu Thales entrer dans son capital à hauteur de 25 % dans le cadre d’un rapprochement DCN/Thales Naval France. L’accord prévoit la possibilité pour Thales, à partir de 2009, de monter dans le capital de DCNS jusqu’à 35%. Une option que le groupe semble prêt à étudier, selon les dernières déclarations de Jean-Georges Malcor18, responsable de la division navale de Thales. En sus de ce désengagement progressif de l’État et de l’implication de Thales dans le développement des activités de DCNS, les deux industriels français se montrent favorables à un éventuel rapprochement avec TKMS, à condition, selon Jean-Georges Malcor, « que celui-ci se fasse sur la base d’un projet industriel solide »19. Il apparaît cependant que le groupe naval français ne soit guère aujourd’hui en position de force. Contrairement à TKMS, très tourné vers l’export, les commandes étatiques nationales eprésentent 75 % du portefeuille d’activités de DCNS. A terme pour tenter de compenser la baisse d’activité du client Marine française, DCNS entend se développer à l’international par le biais notamment de partenariats et créations de JV avec des acteurs locaux (ex. Malaisie, Singapour, Inde). L’entreprise mise également sur le montage d’une filière « Infrastructures, Réseaux, Maintenance » avec constitution d’une société commune avec Veolia Environnement afin de capter des marchés d’externalisation défense (gestion bases navales, aéronavales et bases aériennes) et ports civils. Enfin, DCNS compte diversifier ses activités en pénétrant le segment nucléaire civil. L’objectif pour son PDG, Jean-Marie Poimboeuf, est de ramener à 50 % d’ici 5 ans le taux de dépendance de l’entreprise vis-à-vis du budget français de la défense. Mais pour l’heure, ce dernier souligne la fragilité du groupe et anticipe une baisse de 7 % du CA d’ici 2010. Si le PDG de DCNS considère que « sur le segment des sous-marins, la logique voudrait que DCNS et l'Allemand TKMS se rapprochent, la concurrence entre les deux principaux acteurs européens étant à terme suicidaire »20, l’établissement d’un partenariat voire d’une alliance structurelle avec l’entité HDW GmbH de TKMS pourrait difficilement voir le jour sans le lancement en coopération d’un programme structurant de sous-marin de nouvelle génération. Problématique identique sur le segment navire de surface, en cas de création d’une JV rassemblant les actifs dans ce domaine de DCNS et de l’entité TKMS Blohm+Voss Nordseewerke GmbH. Le lancement de tels projets de nouvelle génération n’étant pas à l’ordre du jour, côté français l’heure serait davantage à l’approfondissement du processus de consolidation nationale du secteur naval, passant par le rapprochement de DCNS et d’Aker Yards France (ex-Chantiers de l’Atlantique) et par une réorganisation interne du nouvel ensemble. Une étape supplémentaire à franchir d’ici 2010, et susceptible d’offrir de nouvelles bases de négociations avec TKMS.

A propos de "l'omlt perdue", on est meme passé à "l'omlt secrète".

Beaucoups de choses sont faites pour le renforcement et à moins d'un gros clash au sommet de l'otan sur les postes nous étant concédés dans la structure otanienne ce sera vraisemblablement le cas

US Pays $40,000 to Relatives of 15 Afghans Killed in Raid Tuesday, January 27, 2009 TAGAB VALLEY, Afghanistan — U.S. commanders on Tuesday traveled to a poor Afghan village and distributed $40,000 to relatives of 15 people killed in a U.S. raid, including a known militant commander. The Americans also apologized for any civilians killed in the operation. The issue of civilian deaths is increasingly sensitive in Afghanistan, with President Hamid Karzai accusing the U.S. of killing civilians in three separate cases over the last month. Karzai has repeatedly warned the U.S. and NATO, saying such deaths undermine his government and the international mission. In Washington, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates echoed Karzai's concerns, telling a Senate committee that "civilian casualties are doing us enormous harm in Afghanistan." As U.S. commanders paid villagers near 15 newly dug graves, Karzai met Tuesday in the capital with relatives of some of those killed. He told the villagers he has given the U.S. and NATO one month to respond to a draft agreement calling for increased Afghan participation in military operations. Karzai said if he does not receive a response within that time, he would ask Afghans what he should do about international military operations. The statement from the presidential palace describing the meeting did not elaborate. The U.S. is doubling its troop presence in Afghanistan this year to take on the Taliban militia; the Taliban and other militants now control wide swaths of territory. Last year, 151 U.S. troops died in Afghanistan, the most in any year since the U.S. invaded the Taliban-ruled country in late 2001 for sheltering Osama bin Laden. Col. Greg Julian, the top U.S. spokesman in Afghanistan, led Tuesday's delegation into the village of Inzeri, a small collection of stone and mud homes set high in a steep, rocky valley. Insurgents have a strong presence in the region just 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Kabul. A raid the night of Jan. 19 killed 15 people in Inzeri, including a targeted militant commander named Mullah Patang. Afghan officials admit that Patang was killed, but villagers say civilians also died and have pressed their complaints with U.S. officials and Karzai. The U.S. regularly makes payments to Afghan relatives of those killed in operations, but the payments are rarely publicized. The villagers met the U.S. delegation about 100 yards from 15 newly dug graves. American officials asked for a list of the dead, but villagers said no one there was literate. Julian told villagers that U.S. forces did not come Jan. 19 intending to fight, but opened fire after villagers fired on them. Many Afghan families are armed. "Perhaps there may have been some people accidentally killed," Julian said as he looked at a mud-brick home where villagers said some Afghans died. "If there was collateral damage, I'm very sorry about that." The village elder, a man named Asadullah who goes by one name, showed Julian a picture of men in Afghan army uniforms. Asadullah said they were the sons of the militant Patang. On the back of an Afghan army truck, U.S. officials paid $40,000 in Afghan currency to representatives of the 15 people killed — $2,500 for each death plus $500 for two wounded men and $1,500 for village repairs. Lt. Col. Steven Weir, a military lawyer who helped oversee the payments, said the payments were not an admission by the U.S. that innocents were killed. "It's a condolence payment," he said. "The villagers said none of them were in the Taliban, just peaceful individuals from the village. So by this payment they will understand it's not our goal to kill innocent people. This may help them understand we're here to build a safer and more secure Afghanistan." When asked if the U.S. was paying money to relatives of people that the U.S. had wanted to kill or capture, Weir said: "If we did accidentally shoot someone, we want to make that right, and if we have to pay money to someone who didn't deserve it ... it's kind of like it's better to let nine guilty people go free than to jail one innocent person." Villagers seemed appreciative. Gul Akbar, 24, who said his father died in the raid, told Julian he respected and appreciated his visit. "I'm just very sad someone gave the other soldiers the wrong information," he said. Abdul Hadi Wairi, a counterterrorism official in Afghanistan's Interior Ministry, said he believes there were militants in the village but that some noncombatants also died. "There were some civilians killed as collateral damage, and there were some old people killed, too," he said. "There were militants among them. But it was a village, it was dark. The insurgents are trying to stay in populated areas and use the villagers as a human shield." Ghulam Qawis Abubaker, the governor of Kapisa province who was part of the delegation that met with Karzai, said Patang, the targeted militant, was among the dead. Abubaker said Patang and other villagers had weapons. The issue of civilian casualties appears to be putting a severe strain on the U.S.-Afghan relationship. But Weir said the U.S. couldn't just stop targeted raids on leaders of militant cells. "When you stop these operations, the bad guys get more IEDs (bombs) in place, they bring in more foreign fighters, they destroy the bridges we build," he said. "It just goes on and on." Julian on Wednesday planned to meet with elders from neighboring Laghman province. Karzai said 17 civilians were killed in a Laghman raid on Jan. 7; the U.S. has said it killed 32 militants in that operation. The Afghan president also says U.S. forces killed 16 civilians during a raid in Laghman on Saturday. Gates said that despite the obstacles, U.S. forces must strive to avoid civilian deaths. "I believe that the civilian casualties are doing us enormous harm in Afghanistan, and we have got to do better in terms of avoiding casualties, and I say that knowing full well that the Taliban mingle among the people, use them as barriers," the U.S. defense secretary told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "My worry is that the Afghans come to see us as part of their problem rather than part of their solution, and then we are lost."

Une marche verte à la Hassan II.

EADS : Londres pourrait annuler des commandes d'Airbus Le secrétaire d'Etat britannique en charge des commandes militaires a indiqué qu'il ne pouvait "exclure aucune éventualité" concernant d'éventuelles annulations des 25 commandes passées par le Royaume-Uni pour l'A400M, l'avion de transport militaire d'EADS qui souffre d'importants retards. "Je suis choqué et déçu d'apprendre qu'EADS et Airbus Military ne vont pas pouvoir produire cet appareil à temps et dans les conditions prévues (...)", a déclaré Quentin Davies à Reuters.

Former NATO Commander calls on Britain to Ditch Trident (Source: British American Security Information Council; issued January 29, 2009) General Jack Sheehan, former Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic, told this evening's BBC Radio 4's World Tonight: "I think the UK is very close to saying we're the first permanent member of the Security Council to do away with nuclear weapons." Paul Ingram, Executive Director of BASIC responded: "Such a statement from a senior US General is unprecedented and highly sensitive, blowing open the issue in a far more potent manner. The momentum towards reconsidering the decision made two years ago to replace Trident is now rapidly building pace. Only last week, the serving Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Richard Dannett, in response to a question on a letter authored by three former UK Generals against Trident, expressed his surprise that the public debate two years ago was relatively muted." The UK Government has made a number of positive statements these last two years, backing multilateral moves towards negotiations, as well as proposing concrete steps. But its credibility behind this call has been called into question internationally because of its decision to replace Trident. Those in favour of replacement have an uphill struggle to build up this credibility with non-nuclear weapon states who themselves establish their own national security by other means. The replacement of Trident holds back the opportunity alluded to by Gen. Jack Sheehan of Britain establishing its role as a global leader in making the world a safer place. The World Tonight's website quotes the General saying: "I think it is entirely possible that the British government, for a lot of good reasons, could do it and it would lead the world... All of a sudden you call into question why the French have a system... It creates an impetus for the US and Russia to kind of move away from this position they're currently in, to start a dialogue to build on."

Comme il est tard ce sera bonsoir et bienvenue.

S'il n'y a pas d'accord sur des projets communs dans le militaire et le spatial c'est pas impossible, Airbus et Eurocopter sont grands.

On va sabrer notre parc de Leclerc et vu le prix du Puma je doute meme d'un éventuel éssai.

un topo complet de TTU sur les blindés et l'industrie de l'armement Allemand.

Ils sont bien beau les Puma mais ils resteront au garage si la politique d'engagement des Allemands ne change pas.

Je sais que l'Afghanistan est cité en example mais si on y est toujours une fois les A400M livrés il se peut qu'on fassent un transit maritime j'usqu'au EAU puis le reste par les airs. Les EAU ont meme acheté des C-17. =)

Depuis qu'EADS a trois divisions je serais tenté de dire que c'est elle qui va etre dépecé.

G4lly, pour le ratio camions/véhicules blindé dans les convois. Afghanistan: la logistique française est aussi en première ligne Et c'est pas parce qu'on va toucher des cabines blindés pour les camions que l'éscorte va disparaitre. Sinon pour cette histoire de mobilité insuffisante du Dingo 2, plutot que de discuter d'une rumeure pourquoi ne pas demander à Shuggart ce qu'il en est. Et c'est parreil pour l'auteur de l'article, il aurait mieux fait de se renseigner sur les essais aux EAU. ;)

Il y aura peu etre une plus grande ségmentation de notre parc de véhicule a l'avenir, l'Aravis serait parfait pour équiper les régiments du train afin d'assurer la protéction des convois logistiques sur des opex comme l'Afghanistan ou à ceux du génie pour accompagner et protéger les équipes afféctées au déminage des axes routiers.

Aravis MRAP : des ultra-blindés en Kapissa Nexter semble gagner son pari avec cette pré commande de 15 véhicules, l'Aravis dépasse le stade du prototype. =)

Le prix de l'Aravis.
