Neue Hubschrauber für das Bundesheer
Unser Heer: Die Entscheidung ist gefallen: Das Verteidigungsministerium kauft 18 Hubschrauber Leonardo AW169M, die Beschaffung erfolgt im Rahmen eines „Government-to-Government“-Geschäfts in Kooperation mit Italien und beläuft sich auf insgesamt rund 300 Millionen Euro.
At the end of the 1970ies it became more and more apparent that the Steyr Type 680 trucks that had been in service since the mid-1960ies had to be replaced. These started in 1985 and resulted in the Steyr 12M18 being introduced in 1986. In 1979 however, six vehicles were assembled in a configuration that was never part of any official type catalogue: 6x6 chassis with double-cab and second steering wheel for driver training purposes.
Brig. Günter Kuhn (ret.) died at his home in Pfaffstätten/Austria last week at age 82. For several decades - at the end as Commanding Officer - his personality was an integral part of the School.
We will always honor his memory.
2020 has presented us all with totally unexpected challenges. None of us could have expected what was about to hit by the end of February and bring all of our usual activities to a grinding halt for the remainder of the year.
Nonetheless, we wish all of our members, supporters and friends a very Merry Christmas - even if it may turn out to be a little more "silent" than usual.
We hope that 2021 will be better than this last year, so that we can resume all of our activities and see each other again under our motto of "Keep'em rolling !".
Ziel: Eine stärkere Truppe für noch mehr Sicherheit
Unser Heer: Mit neuen Schwerpunkten auf Cyber Defence, ABC-Abwehr und Katastrophenhilfe soll das Bundesheer den neuen Herausforderungen und Sicherheitsbedrohungen Österreichs noch besser begegnen können.
