The VVD can live if 30-36 F-35's (or JSF's) can be purchased for the Royal Air Force. That said Ronald Vuijk, defense spokesman of the party in the House, Wednesday after a meeting with experts from think tanks and the Hague Clingendael Centre for Strategic Studies.
But for the Liberals is important that the Ministry of Defence this year to decide on the follow-up of the F-16, he said. Vuijk noting that he "does not unscrupulously advocates" for the JSF. If defense with another device comes up, he can also live with.
The VVD MP thinks that the armed forces in the future in the forefront of conflict must continue to participate. According Ko Colijn of the Clingendael Institute is that 30 to 36 F-35s. Also points out that Vuijk for his party when choosing the financial aspects also play a major role, as the aspect of employment.
Over the years there have always been words over cutting from the original 85-jet dream. Now it seems to have more legs with this study and the backing of the VVD party.

"Huge Cuts"??? 55 - 49 is hardly huge Eric! In the grand scheme this will hardly have any impact.
Anon 01 April 2013 at 06:24 hrs sounds like the dulcit though grossly ill informed tones of the one who calls himself Aussie Digger.
What's up, AD? Too embarrassed to associate yourself with such innane comments now? Could it be you just might be capable of learning?
