Its a sh**t!
We are introducing a new cammo/equipment for individual soldier, new helmet, all Portuguese made. They are on the "Equipment & Gear" Section.
All Army/Navy/Air Force radios are built in Portugal.
Most Military Software programs were developed in Portugal.
We build the Pandur II 8x8 under licence.
A big part of the Brazilian KC390 cargo plane in made in Portugal.
The Navy OPV "Viana do Castelo" class are being made here.
For the Uro Vamtac there was no reason, its factory is in North Spain (Galiza), only two hours from were a live.
We sold the "FBP" factory machinery that was buildind the G3 rifle to the United States. They are using it to build the Civilian PT91 Rifle.

Good to see you retaining some elements of military industry in your country. Your position today is such that if you chose to demilitarize, no one will ever fight you.

No! No! We are fighting in CAR (Central Africa Republic), Afganistan and Iraq.
We prefer to fight them in their houses, before they came to howers.

In CAR we are the Quick Reaction Force of the UN General, with a permanent reinforced company of "Comandos" or "Paraquedistas".
There is na aditional force of 45 men training 3 Territorial Infantry Batallions
There are also SOF teams, TACP from Air Force and UN HQ staff

In Afghanistan we have are
the Quick Reaction Force of Cabul Airport, they are from a Cavalry Regiment
There is a team training
Afghanistan Army "Branch School Advisory Team", NATO HQ staff and "NATO Special Operations Component Command"
In Iraq we have 30 men officialy training Iraqui troops to fight ISIS, but I have seen private images of Portuguese (from my old Brigade BrigMec) and Spanish leading the assault on a North City with Iraqui weapons and changed uniforms. They went forward when the Iraquis cawardly hyde. They earned the name "Viriatus" like the Portuguese that fought in the Spanish Civil war and the Portuguese that fought with the whermacht 250.Infanterie Division "Blue Division" in Russia.
The Portuguese have bought the latest and more protected ST5 version acording to this Spanish article
They will replace the two versions of armoured HMMWV.
This would be a very good option to Pakistan too, because they have good frontal armour, V shape hull with MRAP quality
Thanks

As for Cavalier Group products, Hamza 6x6 and 8x8 is of diferente class. They are heavier, have Level 4 armour and carry a full rifle section, just like Portuguese Pandur II fleet.
In the 4x4 class, the products you have are Police support vehicles, less armour and protected. Last shown "Fast-Track-Vehicle" is a concept, I am waitting for its development and results. As you have seen time-and-time again in Pakistan, after years of development of a vehicle and testing, the Army simply buy a second-hand option or an opportunity business.
Thanks

They will go for Africa replacing these




and these

bon dia pa.
I see the new generation of portugese have forgotten their experiences in Africa and choosen to go with death traps. Man, my portugese ex-comrades in SADF will have a lot to say when they see these vehicles. Especially with the mines strewn across angola/moz.

Brother
We go with ST5 for low-intensity conflitos (like RCA), even there we are allready using Pandur, they take the lead (just like we did in Angola/Moz). In case of use of heavy Antitank mines, the colums will be lead by special vehicles. In last option we have some "very old" Berliet-Tramagal GBA in service, and with the front filled with concrete they will do just fine like in 1961.
