This is the way!
Do we have an adequate European alternative?
How do you say based in portuguese?
Funny, because RO is also in the process of buying F35 and there is a new public advertising on the streets of Bucharest ( image is older, but I saw the same thing re-installed 2 days ago ): [https://www.nwradu.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/reclama_stradala_f35_2.webp](https://www.nwradu.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/reclama_stradala_f35_2.webp) .
I wonder why, it’s not like a citizen is tired of his old MiG and he’ll get a new F35.
So Eurofighter, Rafale or Gripen. What capabilities are they looking for?
All the European countries should do this.
Great! Portugal, of all places, is leading Europe…
Reminder next vacation: Portugal
Thank the lord, I was waiting for this.
🇵🇹✈️ Portugal Says No to F-35!
The Portuguese Ministry of Defense has officially rejected the F-35 and will now seek European fighter jets instead.
This move signals a shift towards European defense cooperation, possibly favoring jets like the Eurofighter Typhoon or Dassault Rafale.
Strategic decision or just budget concerns? 🤔
Being Portuguese, I have heard absolutely nothing about this, and no international or Portuguese newspaper has commented on it either. We only have this link from a Brazilian military news site.
From what I understand, the Portuguese MOD has raised serious concerns about the F-35, and largely because of the new European funds, they want something European.
Every European country should do that, and together start developing our own next gen fighter
In the meantime buy grippers, eurofighters or rafales
As a Portuguese this change was most probably because they are actually incredibly expensive,even in maintenance and we can’t have a stable government for over a year
Smart move.
Power in numbers 👏👏👏
Standby for Septic hissy fit
Even before the news of the purchase of f-35 for the replacement of the old f-16, i always thought that for our needs, gripen would be the better choice.
I ask for a stranger opinion on this matter🙂
Portugal Caralho!
And it’s not a myth that the F-35s require American approval to operate. They are simply unreliable.
This must be obvious! European weapons manufacturers only, or else you continue to fund the US military industrial complex
Unity and cohesion is key. Well done Portugal i hope many more will follow.
Wow this is a big W. I never expected our leaders to actually take action instead of just speaking words. Portugal setting a big example here, hope other countries will follow
Rafale go BRRRRR
Bravo. There is no telling when putin will order musk to turn off fps on f35s. I hope Poland cancels their order – and I hope the ‘small man’ form Poland does the cancelling in front or Vance
Good. So glad Croatia opted for Rafales even bfore all this mess.
Although there haven’t really been talks on replacing the current F-16. And this was said by the current minister but Portugal is having elections in May.
