링크된 기사에 파키스탄이 레오나르도를 'hire'했다고 하는 걸 보니 개발비까지 다 부담했나 봅니다. 딸랑 열 대 만들려고 개발비까지 다 부담을 하진 않았을 듯 하고, 레오나르도랑 같이 해외시장을 두들길 모양인데 JF-17 라이센스도 그렇고 파키스탄이 투자를 열심히 하네요.
DefenseNews 기사를 보니 Embraer는 따로 개발하고 있고 파키스탄이 하는 것은 Embraer와 관련이 없네요.

After three months of detailed technical discussions, and the securing of internal funds from Pakistan’s Armed Forces Development Plan, a $190 million contract was signed between the Ministry of Defence Production and Leonardo in the penultimate week of June.
Brazil, where Embraer is based, is also developing a maritime patrol aircraft program based on conversion of the Lineage 1000 to replace it P-3B Orion fleet, but there appears to be no cooperation between the two programs.
리니지 1000E가 어떤 기체인가 살펴보니, ERJ170-190의 계열기더군요. 굳이 생산량도 많지 않은 기체를 베이스로 왜 사용했을까 싶습니다. ERJ170-190의 항속거리 연장 버젼이라지만, 수십기 단위로 생산된 기체에 대한 유지 보수가, 그 베이스가 되었고 수백기 이상 생산된 기체에 보다 좋을리가 없어보여서요.
첫댓글 파키스탄이 개발비까지 다 부담하는 것인가요? 파키스탄이 중국에서 빌린 돈으로 사는 것일 수도 있겠네요.

E190 부품을 얼마나 그대로 가져다 쓸 수 있냐가 관건이겠네요.
