Solo en Australia?

Bueno, en otros países también. Ya se ha discutido en este tema. El caso australiano tiene la dificultad añadida de que la cadena logística está en la otra punta del planeta.
Aunque Australia (y RU) son anglosajones, no siguen el modelo USA de reparto de recursos entre ramas cuasi independientes. Nosotros, Italia, o los países latinoamericanos lo seguimos mucho más que Australia. Por lo tanto, el concepto de "reparto", planificación y operación con helos no es el mismo.poliorcetes escribió:Pues es una categoría que, si no fuera porque los EdT sólo pueden tener molinillos de ataque tripulados, creo que es precisamente el momento de obviar, esperar y ver. El problema es que ése recurso orgánico para el ejército no puede ser ocupado en Australia o casi toda la OTAN por ala fija, tripulada o no.
Los franceses son, como siempre, una excepción

Launch ban on all 53 "Tiger" helicopters
The Bundeswehr is struggling with technical deficiencies in the helicopter fleet. According to SPIEGEL information, no "Tiger" helicopter will be allowed to take off for the time being following a warning from the Germanhttps://t.co/3C3hL4IAH8 https://t.co/lSPPUfKovjFor security reasons, the Bundeswehr has suspended all flight and training operations of the ultra-modern combat helicopter "Tiger".
According to SPIEGEL information, the manufacturer of the helicopters had previously issued a warning message, as an important component for the rotor control of the "Tiger" possibly has a material defect. Now all helicopters must be tested, for Thursday a meeting of the flight safety committee was scheduled because of the warning.
The affected component is a bolt of the "Main Rotor Control" of the most modern helicopter of the German Armed Forces. According to the manufacturer Airbus Helicopters, some of these titanium components may have hydrogen embrittlement and could break during flight. According to insiders, a break during the flight could, in the worst case, lead to the helicopter crashing.
Only 11 out of 53 helicopters operational
Already on 2 August the army, which operates the "tigers", arranged an immediate blockage of all helicopters because of the warning. In Bundeswehr circles the speech was of a safety measure.
After a first examination the Bundeswehr determined that the possibly defective component is not only in the "Tiger", but also in the transport helicopter NH90 as well as in the training helicopter EC135. However, as it was "not installed at safety-relevant locations", the Bundeswehr said that flight operations with both helicopters would continue for the time being.
The so-called grounding of the fleet has considerable consequences for the flight training of Bundeswehr pilots. The inspections are to be carried out as quickly as possible. Currently, the "Tigers" are not used abroad, the last time the helicopters flew was in Mali, Africa, for a UN mission.
The decommissioning of the entire "Tiger" fleet again illustrates the massive problems of the Bundeswehr with its combat systems. The Army currently has 53 of Eurocopter's combat helicopters, of which an average of only 11.6 were operational last year.
