Charlie Horse In The Throat

2 ARTICLES: THE CRISIS rages ITALY I answered him with fighter .. GOING TO PIECES

crisis there (who have already admitted is a good step forward) now the problem is how risolverla.Mentre the U.S. and other European countries try to run, find new jobs by developing the ' ecology and finding other forms of economy more compatible with the environment, here in Italy resolves the crisis by building more houses or "great works" by giving money managers and banks and now also building air while the rest militari.Conclusioni = the world tries to move forward we tumbled back almost a century thanks alla nostre "insostituibile" classe dirigente.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I nuovi caccia F-35 costeranno 13 miliardi.
Entro il 16 aprile le commissioni Difesa di Camera e Senato dovranno esprimersi sul programma di riarmo aeronautico presentato dal ministro della Difesa Ignazio La Russa, che prevede l'acquisto di 131 caccia-bombardieri da attacco F-35 Lightning II nell'arco dei prossimi diciotto anni. Spesa complessiva: oltre 13 miliardi di euro.
Velivoli 'stealth' di quinta generazione che dal 2014 dovrebbero progressivamente sostituire tutta la flotta aerea d'attacco italiana, attualmente composta dai Tornado e dagli Amx dell'Aeronautica e dagli Harrier-II della Marina.
Sixty-nine F-35A conventional take-off would be allocated to the Air Force, while F-35B sixty-two to scramble or vertical should end up on the decks of aircraft carriers 'Garbaldi' and 'Cavour'.

For missions abroad.
In recent months, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Vincenzo Camporini, described the acquisition of F-35 "absolutely vital to the defense of our country.
In reality, the 'defense' in the strict sense of the Italian air space has already been spent over € 7 billion for the purchase of 121 Eurofighter to replace the old F-104.
While defining the program as "intended for national defense," the text that the Minister La Russa submitted to the parliamentary committees clearly states the intended use of the F-35 "in international peacekeeping missions" by virtue of their "strong ability to use outside the box."

A deal with Finmeccanica.
Fighters F-35 are the result of the rearmament program International Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program launched by the United States in the mid-90s, which joined the many countries, including Italy in 1996 with the first government Prodi (membership confirmed in 1998 by the government in 2002 by D'Alema and Prodi's second government.)
Our country is in the JSF industrial consortium - led by U.S. firm Lockheed Martin - by Alenia, the aeronautical company Finmeccanica Group. The establishment of Piedmont Cameri (Novara) has already been equipped to become the only final assembly line outside of the aircraft outside the United States, where they are all assembled for the F-35 air forces of the Old Continent (for now certain the Netherlands). According to plan, the Cameri Alenia will also further revised and updated throughout the operational life of the F-35, ie for other thirty-five years or so.

rearmament against the crisis.
According to the Defence, the super-bomber F-35 will create at least 10 000 jobs, generate a strong technological development of Italian industry and lead to an increase in GDP.
short, il riarmo come via d'uscita dalla crisi economica, come con la Grande Crisi degli anni '30 e con la Grande Depressione di fine '800. Peccato che in entrambi i casi questa strada abbia condotto a guerre mondiali.
Di certo - questo il documento di La Russa non lo dice - l'impiego dei nuovi bombardieri nelle missioni "di pace" produrrà anche morti, mutilati e sofferenza. E se non dovessero mai venire usati - improbabile - risulteranno del tutto inutili. Forse questi 13 miliardi di euro di denaro pubblico - nostro - potrebbero essere investiti in qualcosa di più utile alla collettività. Spetta alle due commissioni parlamentari decidere nelle prossime settimane.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Il U.S. F-16 pilot had to release the containers of fuel
not to lose control of the plane

PORDENONE (March 25) - The tank fell from the sky, weighing about half a ton, is rolled for about three hundred yards before stopping some houses.

All under the eyes of a terrified girl who was playing in the garden. He risked

really big yesterday afternoon when a U.S. F-16 fighter dropped two difficulties in fuel tanks that are sealed away in a Puia Tamai di Brugnera.

One has broken through the roof of a barn used as a warehouse, damaging a car. The other is rolled between the houses.

tanks, with strong security, fortunately held up the impact and caught fire. A Tamai

have intervened fuocoa brigade and the police, who will reconstruct the incident, contact those who have suffered damage, recover and return the tanks to the leaders of the USAF base at Aviano.

For now it is a mystery the cause of the failure that forced the pilot to an emergency maneuver.

A desperate choice that was made to avoid worse problems.

The pilot dropped the tanks because it would otherwise have risked losing control of the plane, falling on towns in the area.

In essence, between two major events, he chose what was liable to cause the lesser evil.
