ESuT had the opportunity to conduct an interview with the First Director of the BAAINBw, Ralph Herzog, Head of the Air Department - about the introduction of the F-35 and the CH-47, the Eurofighter and the C-130J.
ES & T: Die Luftwaffe wird die Flugzeugmuster F-35 sowie CH-47 in den USA kaufen. Welches sind dabei die Herausforderungen für die Abteilung L?
duke: In fact, it is not the Air Force that will buy the aircraft types in the USA, but the requirement cover, i.e. the BAAINBw. Of course, we practice a very close alliance with the future user, the Air Force.
