A EUROFOR assume no próximo ano o comando de um Battlegroup da União Europeia, conhecido pela sigla EUROFOR EU BG 201-2, no qual Portugal tem uma importante participação. Não só porque se comprometeu em fornecer forças e meios em número significativo como porque lhe caberá seu comando.

Deve estar aqui alguma coisa mal. Portugal a participar com C-130? Então não estão proibidos de sobrevoar a Europa? E suporte com helis? Só se os NH90 já cá estiverem. Os EH-101 não são necessários para SAR? E estarão todos operacionais, com a falta de peças?

Retiro o que disse sobre os helicópteros. Acabei de ler a reportagem no Operacional. Mas que acho estranho, lá isso acho...
