 (NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - February 15, 2012:  After an initial evaluation document reached media, the Swiss Defence Minister Ueli Maurer called for a press conference 

(http://www.vbs.admin.ch/internet/vbs/de/home/documentation/news/news_detail.43408.nsb.html)to comment on the rumors that Gripen would not meet the Swiss Air Force requirements. Today, the Swiss defence authorities reconfirmed Gripen as the optimal solution for Switzerland.
On 30 November 2011, the Swiss Federal Council selected the Gripen E/F as preferred candidate to replace their present F-5 aircraft. Saab and Sweden are now in negotiations with Switzerland, optimizing the complete package and preparing for the acquisition of Gripen E/F.

Saab is confident that the Gripen package gives Switzerland what it needs in all areas, particularly in terms of a fighter that delivers the best price-to-performance ratio with a long-term and agreed development path. Saab is committed to deliver a comprehensive Industrial Package that delivers long-term benefits to all of society. The acquisition of Gripen will further strengthen the partnership between Switzerland and Sweden.

Gripen, in operational service with five air forces, is an unquestionable capable fighter system that delivers its tasks. It is a new generation, multi-role fighter aircraft which uses state-of-the-art technology. It is capable of performing an extensive range of Air-to-Air, Air-to-Surface and reconnaissance missions employing the most modern range of weapons. Gripen has been part of NATO’s QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) organization since 2005. The operating air forces have participated with Gripen in several large, international exercises (including two Red Flag exercises in the US) with very good result.

With approximately 2,000 flight hours in combat missions over Libya and delivery of close to 40 per cent of the total need of Tactical Reconnaissance in the NATO operation Unified Protector, Gripen is a very capable fighter aircraft.

Saab has been an innovation powerhouse for advanced defence and security technology for 75 years, with system knowledge and system integration as core competencies. Today, Saab has operations in more than 30 countries, while our solutions, products and services are sold to more than a hundred countries.

  2. Jordan Fusions Women on our website is probably the most fashionable and latest nike air jordan retro footwear mixed Jordan,Air pressure one, you and also we're confident that you'll stand it whether you're in this type of unique double Jordan hybrid footwear.Do something now!Nikewomenshoesshop.com sells the cheapest Nike womens sneakers to all over the world.

    We continued on this all dirt road, heading east for an additional 5.3 miles until it came to a close. I really thought the condition of the Women Air Jordan 11 Retro dirt road, although very sandy and washboard, but overall pretty good. It had been only after passing Rainbow Ranch, as well as in this latter section that the Women Air Jordan 18 Retro road narrowed, and had deeper sand and ruts. Although, we didn't have to drop it into 4 wheel drive as was previously advised, you certainly wish to have an HCV to successfully make this journey. After getting our navigation down, I looked out the window and realized that the desert views and Women Jordan Spizike landscape were now becoming a lot more scenic and gorgeous the further we made our way out to this rugged and remote, not well known wilderness area. Beautiful!

    After we had reached the end of the dirt road, under a large group of power lines, we located a little sign that said "Trail", then Jordan Jumpman H-Series made a right and drove another 1.9 miles until we came to another "Trail" sign, then swung a left and drive another 1.9 miles to the end and lastly arrived at the trail head and well toned parking area for that Quartz air jordan shoes Trail. Wow, exactly what a fun off road adventure!

    After coming to the Quartz air jordan shoes Trailhead area by roughly 8:30am. I thought it was really quite surprising to locate this type of large and well toned trailhead and car park including a toilet facility way out within this remote wilderness area especially with the rugged roads that you have to take Jordan Play In These to make it happen! Nonetheless, it was nice to possess lots of space to park and after getting a fast restroom break in, it was by 8:45 am that we needed to set off on our hiking adventure around the Quartz air jordan shoes Trail.

    As most write ups accurately describe, for the first couple of minutes, the Quartz air jordan shoes Trail starts out following a classic Jordan Pro Classic and level jeep trail, then turns to the left and quickly begins steeply climbing upright on a narrow, but well toned rocky trail. As you start this accent, the views behind you from the pristine desert valley behind you were more beautiful the higher and additional up you went. It had been roughly by about.6 of a mile that people had went to the top first ridge, and wow, the scenery, absolutely breathtaking!
