The US Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded Lockheed Martin USD799.9 million to build 14 F-16V Block 70/72 Fighting Falcon multirole combat aircraft for Slovakia.
The award, which was announced by the DoD on 31 July, came seven months after Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini announced that his government had signed a EUR1.6 billion (USD1.78 billion) procurement contract for the aircraft, training, and weapons.
According to the DoD contract notification, work will be complete by 31 January 2024.
Although not specified in the DoD announcement, Slovakia is to receive 12 single-seat and two twin-seat aircraft, as well as Raytheon AIM-120C7 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. To date, no air-to-surface weaponry has been announced.
As previously reported by Jane's , the Eastern European country will take delivery of the first four aircraft in 2022, two of which will be two-seater variants and the remaining 10 single-seater aircraft in the beginning of 2024.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/201 ... t-plummetsBritain faces an army recruitment crisis, with frontline combat units operating as much as 40% below strength, figures obtained by the Guardian reveal.
Data released by the Ministry of Defence under freedom of information laws shows the number of soldiers in the British army’s infantry regiments has declined steadily over the past five years. There are more than 2,500 fewer personnel in frontline units than 2015, and all 16 regular regiments have shortfalls.
The figures have prompted criticism of the outsourcing company Capita, which signed a contract with the MoD to manage recruitment to the armed forces in 2012, for its “shambolic and chaotic” handling of the situation. There have also been calls for the defence secretary, Ben Wallace, to address the crisis urgently.
Publicly available data published quarterly by the MoD shows a 7.6% deficit in personnel across the army on 1 January 2019, but the figure masks a more dramatic shortfall in frontline troops.
Guardian analysis of the FOI data for the same period shows that nine of the 16 infantry regiments were 20% or more below their “workforce requirement” – the planned number of personnel needed. Four were 25% or more below their required strength.
The Scots Guards regiment, which has fought in nearly every major conflict since the reign of Charles I, is worst affected. The figures show it is 257 soldiers below its target strength of 697, a shortfall of 37%. If the regiment’s F company, a supporting unit, is removed from the figure, the shortfall grows to 42%.
The Guardian reported in March that figures from October 2018, which were released to the MP Mark Francois, revealed that almost half of all infantry battalions sitting within regiments were missing 20% or more of their required personnel.
The data released to the Guardian for January 2019 reveals a significantly worsening picture, with 10 out of 16 regiments having fewer soldiers than four months earlier.
The figures show there were 2,580 fewer soldiers in infantry regiments than there were five years ago.
There were 15,880 personnel serving at regimental duty at the start of 2015, 6% lower than the 16,847 needed. On the same date this year, there were 13,300 people serving, 17% below the target strength of 15,940.

http://www.gettingaround.net/pages/usareur.phpSeveral major changes have taken in the last couple of years. The USAREUR military installations in Heidelberg and Mannheim have closed. Also, the Army installation in Bamberg and Schweinfurt have closed. USAREUR Headquarters has moved to Wiesbaden. Millions have been spent to upgrade and expand Wiesbaden facilities to accommodate the additional troops and family members. Other major facilities from these closed locations have relocated to different locations in Germany. Both AAFES and AFN Europe, for instance, haved moved to Sembach Kaserne in the Kaiserslautern area. The Grafenwoehr, Hohenfels and Vilseck areas have also undergone a large expansion with hundreds of millions of dollars spent on new exchange facilities, schools and housing areas to accommodate an increased troop presence. With the closure of Heidelberg and Mannheim the largest army communities will be in the Kaiserslautern, Wiesbaden, Stuttgart and northern Bavaria areas.
