After An Board Snip, the recommendation is for the RDF Pay budget to go to 3 million approx.
What can you buy for this say over the next 3 years. (Recession over hopefully, emerging stronger economy)
So for 9 million over the next 3 years.
Some options.
Army:
New rifle Optics
4,500 ACOG sights taken at 2,000 euro each, this price representing combined unit, maintenance, trg and accessories.
400 Trijicon Advanced Thermal Weapon sights
1,500 (AN/PVS-18 Style) Night Vision Monocular GEN III
3 x MOWAG with .5cal/30mm
Development of dedicated modern modular and fixed FIBUA facilites at either Kilworth or Glen trg areas.
Air Corp:
3/4 purchase of another AW139 at a unit cost of 12.1 million
1/5 purchase of C27 J Spartan transport aircraft
1/5 purchase of NH90 helicopter
Navy:
Payment towards new ships which if continued would see a ship of 60 million euro paid for in full in only 6.5 years.
