Exército Português / Re: Panhards ULTRAV M11 no Exército substituir ou upgrade ?

não está tudo não e têm uma série de problemas

Imagino... desde aquele motor Peugeot de 90 cv ou lá ou que é, à suspensão, transmissão, a habitual e sacrossanta falta de meios rádio, às (aposto) deficientes manutenções e, claro está, os 40 anos de uso...

A única real mais valia das Panhard foi o seu carácter de transposição de rios, de resto a susbtituição por um mix de drones e Vamtac seria o melhor que poderia ser feito....

'Cuidem da trave que têm em vossos olhos antes de apontar o cisco no de outrem': então não se apresentem como esse tal de farol do mundo.

Sobre a Transnístria e os russos, estes são um dos maiores e mais sujos actores europeus*, mas o que não percebem é que isso de "pro russo/putin" na verdade é vossa incapacidade de perceber que, para boa parte do mundo, são todos 'farinha do mesmo saco', dentro de uma bolha de autocomplacência, chauvinismo e (suposta) superioridade moral.

On a visit to the site of a drone strike on a high-rise residential building, he told the Kyiv Independent that, given the option of being able to kidnap any world leader, he would "take Putin into custody and hold him [to] account for war crimes."

When it comes to ICE encounters, what are the rules — and your rights?

https://www.ms.now/news/when-it-comes-to-ice-encounters-what-are-the-rules-and-your-rights

"It is clear that US citizens' ignorance of federal laws and law enforcement duties, procedures, and limits of authority is getting to the point where it is deadly. I spent probably 3 hours watching and re-watching, and finding every single video and angle I could of the situation in Minnesota yesterday and came to one immovable conclusion based off of what I saw and what I know from a professional standpoint. This is long, but please give it a read.
"As a former officer, let me make something clear: ICE agents ARE NOT police officers, deputy sheriffs, or troopers. They are not local/state law enforcement. They are not federal criminal law enforcement. They have an INCREDIBLY limited scope of authority, and that scope of authority exists in detaining and arresting with probable cause and/or SIGNED WARRANTS those investigated and suspected of being in the US illegally.
"They cannot just pull anyone over for a traffic violation or because their car is in a place they don't want it. They have NO authority to pull people over for ANYTHING other than immigration enforcement- and even then that involves probable cause, such as a known vehicle of someone they have been tracking, or a warrant. On very rare occasions they have the legal authority to pull someone over if they are threatening the lives of others, but that was not happening in this case. They do not have the training nor the authority to pull ANYONE else over. They cannot arrest legal citizens. They cannot detain legal citizens without probable cause to believe they might not be legal. They have ZERO authority to be attempting to force entry into a vehicle- without even identifying themselves, without a warrant, without exigent circumstances such as a life being directly threatened- that is trying to drive down the street without probable cause in relation to IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.
"This ENTIRE situation in Minnesota was outside of the scope of legal authority from the get go. None of it was done within the scope of authority of ICE. Every single behavior those agents made was procedurally incorrect, done without proper authority, and was based off of intimidation and the assumption that people do not understand the law and their rights in regards to interactions with ICE.
"On no planet should an officer, agent, or any human being ever step in front of a car in 'drive' that is actively trying to leave and use their body as a shield to prevent a person from LEGALLY LEAVING a situation in which they are not legally being detained. It takes maybe a week of any kind of actual law enforcement training to understand that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you ever place yourself in front of a vehicle in 'drive.' That agent had every single opportunity to simply take two steps to the right and not be standing directly in front of a vehicle attempting to conduct their legal right to drive away.
"You can see the wheels are turned, [Renee] backed up and turned them to the right, moved forward a bit to leave, couldn't because an agent was standing in front of her, and continued to try to leave by TURNING HER WHEELS TO THE RIGHT and moving forward. He continually chose to stand there and not allow her to legally leave as she had every single right to do.
The officer pulling on her door and banging on her window and swearing at her had ZERO authority to order her out of her vehicle or attempt to make entry into her vehicle. NONE. A single day of actual training of the legal scope of authority and the LAW would've prevented that from happening.
"You now have a frightened citizen being blockaded by immigration agents (with another person in her vehicle) who had zero obligation to follow legally invalid orders from that agent, being blocked in and having a fully grown, masked man attempting to make entry into her car. If this were reversed, every single person would immediately feel she had every reasonable expectation to fear for her safety. It doesn't matter if she knew it was ICE because the agents weren't even acting in their scope of authority anyway.
"Whether or not she made the right decision by very CLEARLY- based off of how hard her wheels were turned and how low and to the driver corner windshield that shot was fired- trying to drive to the left of that agent is IRRELEVANT in the picture as a whole.
None of this would have happened if those agents had done even one single thing correctly. Not just correctly, but within their legal scope of authority. Every single moment of that interaction was escalated by untrained, unprofessional, procedurally inept "agents" who not only had zero control of themselves but everything around them. And not because they are helpless, but because their actions that did not fall under their scope of power CAUSED this. Their tempers, lack of training, and the knowledge that they can get away with violating their own scope of authority caused this.
"I will always be the first to defend law enforcement when lethal force very clearly is required. But this was not even remotely the case, and as an actual TRAINED professional in that field with experience and understanding of both the law and procedures, there is no justification for this- and it would benefit EVERYONE to actually read up on the laws, scope of authority, and use a single shred of common sense to see that this situation was started, escalated, and caused by the ICE agents involved. I have zero respect for those in power who are ignorant of the scope of their authority and abuse it at the cost of lives around them.

🚨 WHY THE SILENCE IS SO LOUD 🇮🇷 An Iranian woman just said what many are not understanding— and it explains a glaring contradiction.

She argues that much of the loudest “free Palestine” activism isn’t actually about universal human rights at all.

Iranian woman: "Let me tell you why all these pro-Palestine, all these pro-human rights people are silent right now. Because 90% of the people supporting Palestine are Muslims and they’re only supporting them because Palestinians are Muslim. So the one reason why they’re not supporting my people is because the country is being controlled by Islamic Republic. So the leaders are Muslim. So for them to support the Iranians would have to go against the Islamic Republic, which means they would have to go against their religion. So they’re silent. So it’s not about human rights anymore. This is about religion. Because us Iranians, we were never Muslims to begin with. Islam was forced on us. Because when the Arabs invaded our country, stole everything, assaulted our women - I don’t want to say the word but you know what they did, it was more than an assault - they forced Islam onto us. We were never Muslims to begin with. We are the descendants of Cyrus..."

Nenhum regime dura eternamente, especialmente as ditaduras.

Quem está por detrás da Transnístria?

1. A Rússia como principal patrocinador
Presença militar russa: A Transnístria alberga o Grupo Operacional das Forças Russas, um remanescente das tropas soviéticas que Moscovo nunca retirou. Esta força é fundamental para a segurança e identidade política da região.

Alinhamento político: O território é amplamente descrito como um bastião russo dentro da Moldávia, funcionando como um enclave informal da influência de Moscovo.

Dependência económica: Durante décadas, a Transnístria dependeu de subsídios russos, especialmente de gás barato ou gratuito, que tem sido essencial para a sua sobrevivência.

Sentimento público: Muitos residentes veem o seu destino atrelado a Moscovo — “tudo depende de Moscovo”, como disseram os residentes aos jornalistas durante as recentes crises.

2.º Por que razão a Rússia apoia a Transnístria?
Isto dá à Rússia influência estratégica sobre a Moldávia.

Mantém uma zona tampão perto da Ucrânia e da UE.

Preserva um enclave político de estilo soviético alinhado com os interesses russos.

3. Posição da Moldávia
A Moldávia considera a Transnístria parte do seu território soberano e procura a reintegração, mas a presença de tropas russas e a liderança política da região tornam isso extremamente difícil.
