Denmark postponed the decision to purchase new fighter aircraft as part of cost cutting due to the economic crisis."Preliminary results indicate that it is possible to postpone for another 2 to 4 years with the F-16", the Defense Ministry announced the country.
"With this background, the Government considers it reasonable to postpone the procurement of new fighter aircraft," added the statement. The issue will be reviewed at the latest by 2014.
The defense minister, Gita Lilelount Beck said it was "common sense" to consider the issue of the new aircraft market in a few years.
