Después de una semana después del anuncio del aumento de precio del Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), ha dejado de interesar a Dinamarca como sustituto de sus F-16. Desde el comienzo de las negociaciones en 1999 con Estados Unidos el coste del avión ha pasado de los 275 millones de coronas a 540 millones. A pesar de haber realizado grandes inversiones en el JSF, las intenciones del gobierno danés van encaminadas al Boeing F-18 Superhornet. El parlamento danés tomará la decisión en 2012.

After a week where it was announced there would be yet another price increase for potential buyers, the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is no longer being considered by the Danish Defence Command as a replacement for its aging F-16s war planes Since negotiations for purchasing the planes began in 1999 between Denmark and US Department of Defense the cost of a single plane has risen from around 275 million kroner to 540 million.
Despite having invested considerably in the JSF project – with several companies securing eventual work contracts for the planes should they have been purchased – the Danish government is now leaning toward Boeing’s F-18 Superhornet as its preferred choice. A decision on which jet will replace the F-16s is expected to be made by parliament some time in 2012.
