Europe : First Flight of Eurofighter Typhoon IPA6
 
BY :Euro fighter Media News


The first Eurofighter Typhoon loaded with Tranche 2 avionics took to the air today at BAE Systems’ Warton facility. Instrumented Production Aircraft Six (IPA6) completed its maiden flight under the control of Mark Bowman, Eurofighter Typhoon test pilot at BAE Systems.

IPA6 at Warton will be used for Tranche 2 flight test. It’s first prominent task will be to accomplish Type Acceptance for Block 8, the first capability standard of the second Tranche Eurofighter Typhoon, in April 2008.

While IPA6 (BS031) is essentially a Tranche 1 standard aircraft, it uses the full Tranche 2 mission computer suite and avionics features. IPA7 (GS029) is the first aircraft that represents the full Tranche 2 build standard. The first flight of IPA7 is expected before the end of 2007 at the Manching site of EADS, Germany.

The first Tranche 2 EJ200 engine had already flown on IPA2 in Italy on 14 September. This test aircraft, operated by Alenia, will undertake the necessary evaluation and certification work for this new EJ200 version.

The significant Tranche 2 features focus mainly on the new mission computers which deliver the higher processing and memory capacity required for the integration of future weapons such as Meteor, Storm Shadow and Taurus. Differences in the build standard to Tranche 1 are related to changes in production technology or obsolescence.

The Eurofighter consortium will deliver 251 aircraft, 91 to the United Kingdom, 79 to Germany (including 15 aircraft originally contracted by Austria), 47 to Italy and 34 to Spain. The original Tranche 2 production contract was signed 14 December 2004. Deliveries of Tranche 2 Eurofighter Typhoons to all four Partner Nations will begin in Summer 2008 and are scheduled to run until 2013. 18 aircraft are already in final assembly at the partner companies Alenia Aeronautica, BAE Systems, EADS CASA and EADS Deutschland.

    quote--"Moscow: West seeks to break up Russia
    Wed, 10 Oct 2007 20:24:34
    Russia's chief intelligence Nikolay Patrushev.
    Russia's intelligence chief says Western spies are seeking to break up the country and singled out British agents as the most intrusive.

    Nikolay Patrushev said highly trained British agents are putting their noses into Russian politics in a bid to influence the outcome of parliamentary and presidential elections.

    There's been an alarming rise in British spying activity across the Russian Federation, he warned.

    He added foreign spies were using non-governmental organizations "both for gathering intelligence information and as an instrument for having a hidden influence over political processes."

    He pointed at the revolutions that ousted governments in the former Yugoslavia, Ukraine and Georgia as a product of such activities.

    Prince Bandar Named in Multi-Billion Dollar Bribe Scheme With British Defense Giant BAE

    June 7, 2007 (LPAC)--The longtime Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, who now is the head of national security for the Kingdom, received nearly $2 billion in bribes from a British arms manufacturer over a period of two decades. Prince Bandar bin-Sultan, who is also the son of the Saudi Minister of Defense, received payments into the Saudi Arabian embassy accounts in Washington at Riggs Bank, from BAE Systems, the British defense company that manufactures Tornado and Hawk jet fighters.

    According to a BBC investigation, aired on June 6, the payments into the Saudi slush fund in Washington, D.C. were made beginning in 1985, when the Saudi government and BAE signed a $100 billion deal, under which the British company would provide fighter jets to the Kingdom, and would conduct other military-related construction projects. The payola scandal between BAE and Prince Bandar implicates every British government from Margaret Thatcher, through John Major and Tony Blair.

    While the BAE-Saudi bribery scandal has been brewing for years, on Dec. 14, 2006, Lord Goldsmith, the British Attorney General, announced that the official probe, conducted by the Serious Crimes Office (SCO) would be ended, with no indictments. Prime Minister Blair fully endorsed the decision to shut down the probe, and both he and Lord Goldsmith claimed that any further action would jeopardize the national security of Great Britain. Washington sources who have been tracking the scandal for years reported to EIR that Prince Bandar had threatened the British government with a cutoff of all Saudi cooperation in the war on terrorism if the probe went any further.

    Up through 2001, there were no laws in Great Britain against bribery---!!!

    Britain's Neo-Imperial Dreams in Afghanistan
    by Bahlol Lohdi

    Dean Acheson, the distinguished American statesman, famously opined in a speech at West Point in 1962, "that Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role." Forty years later, in 2002, Tony Blair and fellow dreamers thought the tragedy of 9/11 provided them with the opportunity once again to play a determining role on the world stage. The notion that Britain was to America as Greece had been to Rome – implying that Britain was going to be the "brain" and America the "brawn" – became a fashionable topic of discourse in the British media.

    No matter how deluded this may have been when viewed objectively, Blair and his acolytes clung to the idea. They hoped to use the Anglo-American "special relationship" as the vehicle for achieving Britain's neo-imperial dreams.

    However, the United States continued to view the relationship differently, and Blair's efforts to shape American policy through close ties to Washington failed, as has now been revealed by numerous retired senior British officials.

    Nevertheless, still hoping to gain a place at the top table of decision making, and thereby try and shape future events, Blair committed Britain's forces to fight battles in two countries where Britain had a colonial past: Afghanistan and Iraq.

    London thought that its colonial era experience in both countries would enable it to claim superior knowledge and expertise, thus giving British policy proposals inordinate weight, thereby influencing the political and economic shape of the post-conflict era in both countries to British advantage. However, this ambition has already been thwarted in Iraq and is at the point of being thwarted in Afghanistan.-------"
