Depois de muita polémica esta semana em relação ao concurso de fornecimento de caças no Canadá, e muito em particular quanto à questão se o Gripen E será ou não de facto um adversário à altura do F-35A, a imprensa canadiana decidiu agora desenterrar as conclusões a que o Ministério da Defesa daquele país chegou em 2021. Recomendo a leitura.

F-35 beat Gripen fighter jet 'by a mile' in 2021 Defence Department competition

Data obtained by Radio-Canada shows Lockheed Martin jet was clear winner

(...) The F-35 got a score of 95 per cent on military capabilities, with a total of 57.1 points out of 60. By contrast, the Gripen-E finished with a score of 33 per cent, netting 19.8 points out of 60, according to the Department of National Defence (DND) ranking obtained by Radio-Canada.

The gap is particularly significant in scoring for “mission performance” and ability to upgrade the aircraft over its life cycle. (...)

Bolas,

Com 95 contra 33, como é que estamos numa situação hoje de a escolha ente mais F-35 e Gripen E estar tão renhida?

Estou mesmo perplexo.

estou assim...  ó:

Está a ser uma "guerra" dura...
Noticias, informação,  contrainformação, pressões...
Nunca estivemos tão na moda.
Os franceses atacaram primeiro,  depois ontem prepararam a vinda da missão italiana colocando cá fora a oferta que fizeram...
E agora, cá entre nós,  voltam a por cá fora os "menos" da proposta italiana.
Tem duas leituras...

Análise IA. Vale o que vale. Espero que esteja completamente errado. Mas vou-me preparar para o pior.

Tá feio, tá...

While the official process is a competition, insider information and rumors strongly suggest the French FDI frigate is the likely winner. The final decision is expected very soon due to a looming European Union funding deadline.

Key Rumors and Insider Insights
Internal Navy Preference: An unnamed senior Portuguese Navy official, speaking on condition of anonymity, indicated an internal preference for the Naval Group's FDI frigate.

Political Alignment: The timing of the French Amiral Ronarc'h frigate's recent visit to Lisbon, coinciding with the Defence Minister's public comments, is seen by observers as a strong political signal and part of the government leaning towards the French offer.

Industrial Incentives: Naval Group has sweetened its offer with a significant industrial cooperation proposal, including investment in the Arsenal do Alfeite shipyard and the creation of a joint company for future maintenance, which is a major factor for Portuguese industry and sovereignty.

Proven Platform Argument: A major argument for the French offer is that the first-of-class FDI is already undergoing sea trials, making it a "ready-to-use" solution that meets Portugal's need for rapid operational capability.

Italian Challenges: Fincantieri of Italy remains a contender, but some reports suggest the Italian shipyards are busy with national orders, and the US Navy recently canceled several frigates from Fincantieri's US-based program (Constellation-class) due to design and construction issues, which might implicitly affect perception, even if it is a different program.

Urgent Deadline: The most pressing factor driving a decision is the end of November 2025 deadline to submit projects for European funding. This fiscal pressure means an announcement is imminent.

The consensus among defense analysts is that all signs point towards an outcome aligned with France's naval strategy and industrial influence.

Em certos países os erros são momentos de aprendizagem.

Uma decisão honestamente estranha

Os 2 A26 suecos foram contratualizados em 2015, e já deviam ter sido entregues o ano passado, no entanto na realidade só vão ser entregues em 2031....

O motivo é simples, parece-me: franceses e ingleses nunca aceitariam serem liderados por alemães.
