Denmark has requested submissions for replacing its F-16 fighter aircraft. Candidates will have their submissions in by July of this year. The Danish Ministry of Defense is expected to make a decision by the end of 2015, reports JSF News.
The four candidates are the EF2000 Typhoon, Boeing F-18 Super Hornet, Saab Gripen and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter maded by Lockheed Martin.
The requirement is for 30 aircraft. A variety of performance and cost issues will be considered.
Of the four candidates, the F-35 is at the most risk for cost, performance, lethality, survivability and supportablility, given its many development problems.
