Depois de ver esta foto, continuo a achar que a substituição dos M113 por Boxers será um erro!

Menos um peão do anormal!

Porquê tantos textos de ai em todo o lado?
Até que ponto é que neste fórum estão pessoas a trocar ideias se cada vez mais parece que metade das mensagens são testamentos de AI a "falaram" um com o outro?
**The most sensible anti-ship missile (SSM) option for Portuguese FREMM EVO frigates is the MBDA *Naval Strike Missile (NSM)* or the *Exocet MM40 Block 3C*, depending on strategic priorities and industrial alignment.**
Here’s a breakdown of the top contenders and how they align with Portugal’s needs:
---
### 🔍 Comparison of SSM Options for Portuguese FREMM EVO
| Missile | Range | Guidance | Key Features | Fit with Portugal |
|--------|--------|-----------|----------------|-------------------|
| **NSM (Kongsberg/Raytheon)** | 185+ km | Imaging IR + GPS | Stealthy, sea-skimming, land-attack capable | Already selected for Portuguese VdG upgrade; NATO-standard |
| **Exocet MM40 Block 3C (MBDA)** | 200+ km | GPS + active radar | Proven, compact, land-attack capable | Strong EU industrial ties; used on current VdG class |
| **Teseo Mk2E (Otomat)** | 360+ km | INS + GPS + terminal radar | Long-range, land-attack capable | Italian integration synergy with FREMM EVO; heavier footprint |
| **RBS-15 Mk4 (Saab)** | 300+ km | GPS + radar + IR | Dual seeker, land-attack capable | Not currently in Portuguese inventory; less integration history |
| **Harpoon Block II+** | ~130 km | GPS + radar | Widely used, mature | Aging; not aligned with current Portuguese procurement trends |

### 🇵🇹 Strategic Fit for Portugal
- **NSM is the front-runner**: Portugal has already selected NSM for the *Vasco da Gama* class upgrade, making it the most logical choice for FREMM EVO as well. It offers:
- **Commonality across platforms** (logistics, training, doctrine)
- **Stealth and land-attack capability**
- **Full NATO interoperability**
- **Compact footprint**, ideal for flexible VLS or deck-mounted integration
- **Exocet MM40 Block 3C is a strong fallback**: MBDA’s European footprint aligns with broader EU defense cooperation. However, NSM is more modern and stealth-optimized.
- **Teseo Mk2E** would offer range and Italian synergy, but it’s heavier, more expensive, and not currently in Portuguese service.

### 🧭 Bottom Line
**NSM is the most sensible SSM for Portuguese FREMM EVOs** due to:
- Existing fleet integration
- NATO standardization
- Stealth and land-attack capability
- Compact, flexible deployment options
If Portugal wants to deepen EU industrial ties or co-develop future variants, **Exocet Block 3C** remains a viable alternative.
