Again.
No italian AMX has been sold to Venezuela.
Venezuela Air Force has not AMX in service.
😡
Of course Italy is a free and sovereign country.

It sounds strange to me.
For that I know, no AMX are in service in Venezuela Air Force. At least not italians. There was a deal that is finished in 2005, but no Amx has been sold to Venezuela.

You are of course correct concerning the G.222. I am really impressed by Finmeccanica, they seem to have their hands in so many programmes: Eurofighter, Sky-X, Neuron, MB339, Boeing 787, EH101, AW149, NH90, etc…

Today in Europe, Finmeccanica represent the little alternative at EADS/Airbus.
Finmeccanica goes very well and is giving many satisfactions to italian and european industry.

GAO decision may give the AgustaWestland EH101, seen here in Portuguese service, and the Sikorsky HH-92 a second crack at the US Air Force’s CSAR-X contract. (Team US101 photo)
By decision of today, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) sustained the bid protests of Sikorsky Aircraft Company and Lockheed Martin Systems Integration-Oswego (LMSI) against the Department of the Air Force’s award of a contract to The Boeing Company, under request for proposals (N° FA8629-06-R-2350), for the Combat Search and Rescue Replacement Vehicle (CSAR-X).

The solicitation provided that for purposes of the source selection, cost/price would be calculated on the basis of the Most Probable Life Cycle Cost (MPLCC), including both contract and operations and support costs. GAO sustained the protest on the basis that the Air Force’s actual evaluation of MPLCC was inconsistent with the required approach as set forth in the solicitation.

GAO recommended that the Air Force amend the solicitation to reflect its intent with respect to the evaluation of MPLCC, reopen discussions with offerors, and then request revised proposals.

GAO further recommended that if the evaluation of revised proposals results in a determination that Boeing’s proposal no longer represents the best value to the government, the agency should terminate its contract.

GAO also recommended that Sikorsky and LMSI be reimbursed the costs of filing and pursuing their protests, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.”

Holy ******* freaking hell mother of god!!!!

Thanks to the high consideration to the italian technology 🙁

Elettronica provides Empar radar for the modern first class italian french frigates, avionics to the Agusta-Westland EH101 Merlin and more.

Russia has a great tradition and modern aerodynamic engineers, but they lack modern electronic has the western countries due to the budget defense cut of the last 15 years.

The italian brand Elettronica won the bid to furnish the new indian Mig-35 with italian electronics.

May He rest in peace.
It’s always sed to ear this kind of news.
