Houvesse vontade até seria. Ainda para mais com um negócio como a Lituânia fez.

Interessante seria ver este míssil na sua versão aérea. Certamente que teria um alcance superior ao AIM-120D.

Seria uma grande mais valia, pelo menos para os caças de 4ª geração, terem uma arma equivalente ao PL-15, R-77 e Meteor.

Já estou a imaginar uma super-encomenda de AMRAAM-ER para os nossos F-16 e futuros NASAMS.

Com o dinheiro que gastaram nessa treta tinham organizado um tiro aos pratos como deve ser com cerveja e porco no espeto no final...

Isto tudo porque não há pessoal suficiente. Nos tempos do SMO, em que abundava a mão de obra barata, punham uns bacanos a lançar os pratos à pata e estava resolvido.

Ao que esta fantochada chegou.
Para o ano que vem estaremos a ler o louvor do primeiro medalhado pelo empenho e profissionalismo no tiro aos pratos

LEONARDO DRS MISSION EQUIPMENT PACKAGES FOR US ARMY IM-SHORAD

Leonardo DRS has received an initial award from General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) for 28 mission equipment packages (MEP) for the US Army Initial Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (IM-SHORAD) programme. This is the first award against a five-year contract with an estimated value of over $600 million (€496 million).

The centerpiece of the MEP is Moog's Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP) turret with multiple kinetic effectors, including the XM914 30mm cannon and M240 7.62mm machinegun, along with STINGER and LONGBOW HELLFIRE missiles. The MEP also includes an on-board Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar (MHR) to provide persistent 360° aerial surveillance, identification friend or foe and other mission-essential technologies.

The production contract award marks successful completion of an aggressive prototype programme that delivered nine prototypes and completed government testing in just two years. The company will begin delivering the MEPs to GDLS for final integration onto purpose-built STRYKERs next year.

Possivelmente o sistema SHORAD mais versátil do Ocidente. Sem dúvida a melhor escolha, um 3 em 1.

É melhor comprar mais umas caçadeiras e, desta vez, dar formação a oficiais e sargentos, dada a sua preponderância em termos defectivos.

Portuguese Army advances its soldier modernisation effort
by Victor Barreira

The Portuguese Army has given a significant boost to its dismounted soldier system programme SCS (Sistemas de Combate do Soldado) following a EUR42.8 million (USD56.9 million) contract that was awarded by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to FN Herstal in October 2019.

In total 15,000 5.56 × 45 mm SCAR-L STD assault rifles, 940 7.62 × 51 mm SCAR-H STD assault rifles (550 of which incorporate the Trijicon VCOG 1-6 × 24 riflescope and bipod), 1,000 5.56 × 45 mm MINIMI Mk3 Tactical SB and 400 7.62 × 51 mm MINIMI Mk3 Tactical machine guns, and 2,000 40 × 46 mm FN40GL-S stand-alone grenade launchers are being received through 2022, Major Ricardo Jorge Parcelas Araújo e Silva, an area coordinator at the Forces Planning Division, told Janes on 17 March.

Aimpoint CompM4 red dot sights for the SCAR-L STDs and 5.56 x 45 mm MINIMI Mk3s,Trijicon ACOG 3.5 × 35 riflescopes for 7.62 × 51 mm MINIMI Mk3s, Extrema Ratio Fulcrum bayonets, and a ten-year tools and gauges package were part of the contract.

Moreover, 380 Benelli SuperNova TS 12-gauge shotguns and 3,910 Glock G17 Gen5 9 ×19 mm pistols were separately acquired through the NSPA, and received between 2019 and 2021. The shotguns also are used in the counter unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) role.

In addition, in a second step no later than 2026, new anti-air and anti-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capabilities will be developed through the initial qualification of a Nah- und Nächstbereichsschutz (short- and very short-range air defence, NNbS) system that will replace the Wiesel 2 Ozelot light air defence system, which the German MoD described as “outdated [and] qualitatively and quantitatively inadequate”.

The ministry identified a high potential for European co-operation on this project. In addition to Germany’s existing air defence co-operation with the Netherlands through Project Apollo, the MoD pointed to the possibility of co-operating with other EU and NATO countries to promote the development of European anti-air and counter-UAV capabilities.

Está aqui uma boa oportunidade.

Para comprar os Wiesel 2 Ozelot...? 

[tenente]

Sempre seria preferível ter uma BAA Lig equipada com os Wiesel que ter o que actualmente temos.
Se cada brigada possuisse uma BAA em viaturas blindadas do modelo que maioritariamente as equipam seria o correcto e indicado, e estariamos minimamente equipadps em termos de SHORAD, com os ST5, PANDUR e M113/Substituto, mas como estamos, sem nada de nada, estamos bem melhor.
