瑞士远程防空系统候选缩至两家:以色列Barak MX与欧洲SAMP/T NG入围

瑞士联邦委员会10月28日将该国第二套远程地对空防空系统的候选名单缩小到两家:以色列航空工业公司(IAI)的 Barak MX 与欧洲 Eurosam 公司的 SAMP/T NG。此前,来自法国、以色列与韩国的四家厂商接受了瑞士联邦国防采购局(armasuisse)的评估。
瑞士已订购的美国「爱国者」系统订单不取消,第二套系统将在此之外另行采购。按瑞士政府的时间表,最终决定预计在2027年初作出。
采购资金方面,瑞士议会将在冬季会期讨论一项240亿瑞士法郎的军队追加预算方案,其中60亿瑞郎拟用于这第二套远程防空系统。
远程防空是瑞士军队现代化计划的核心项目之一。瑞士此前已选定「爱国者」作为其第一套新型远程防空系统,第二套系统的选型将在以色列与欧洲两个方案之间作出。
Switzerland Narrows Long-Range Air Defence Shortlist to Two: Israel's Barak MX and Europe's SAMP/T NG
Switzerland's Federal Council on October 28 narrowed the shortlist for the country's second long-range ground-based air defence system to two candidates: the Barak MX by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and the SAMP/T NG by the European consortium Eurosam. Four manufacturers from France, Israel and South Korea had previously been evaluated by armasuisse, the federal defence procurement agency.
Switzerland's existing order for the US Patriot system will not be cancelled; the second system will be procured in addition. Under the government's timetable, a final decision is expected in early 2027.
On funding, the Swiss parliament will debate a CHF 24 billion additional army package in its winter session, of which CHF 6 billion is earmarked for this second long-range air defence system.
Long-range air defence is one of the core elements of the Swiss army's modernisation programme. Switzerland previously selected Patriot as its first new long-range system; the second system will be chosen between the Israeli and European contenders.
