I think it’s a perfectly balanced offer. Don’t see any issue with it.
They either spend no money on it or spend Hans’ money on it.

Don’t worry, bros.
We’re paying extra anyway, so I’m sure we can cover you.
Ah , the Portugal way
common iberian W
The art of the deal.
I mean, we are going to want to sell our fighter to customers, just like the Yanks to with the F35, like we do with Gripen, not all of them contributed anything to the development of the plane. Is this a clickbait dumb headline, or is something more?
Sounds like a load of bullshit to me if you know anything about how fighter procurement and development works. Portugal are our allies, do we really need them to contribute to the development, or just buy the plane once its finished?
Ask yourself, are the aerospace engineers and the complex material designers going to cook the cozido themselves?
Even if they paid for the entire project, would it be a good idea to let them in?
Estamos só a ver!
Finally this Administration has a good idea
Lol we’re in these organizations to get free stuff. Do you think we’re stupid.
If the fial was paying we would just declare neutrality and mind our own business like our great dictator Salazar used to do.
This is funny but not really true. What the current administration is making up things about military spending to quiet the pro defense people. No big ticket items will be bought (prior to 2030) since Portuguese decision makers would prefer to follow the Ireland route
The 5% NATO figure will be met by including, firefighting, EMS and other civilian services
Also observer status is pretty common in defense deals, you aren’t really included in the work share but are given earlier slots of production
Who doesn’t remember uni group projects? There’s always that one dude who does absolutely nothing but shows up smiling. Basically the team’s emotional support mascot!
😎
Like they could train any pilots. They’d all be asleep.
We’re getting awful at this game, so we’re actually funding the project.
I don’t think Portugal fully understands the jet engine technology…
Guys, cement makes for poor planes.
they’re not joining, they’re “observing”. The deal they’re looking to get is “Mind if I sit here and watch what you do? I won’t bother you, I promise”
give us back madeline mccann and we’ll talk
I went and look for the original story. The CNN of my country one.
Honestly it was just our Minister of Defense blurting out words to answer bad positioned questions.
His idea is invest in 5th generation planes and “observe” how a 6th generation is being made. This was related to “how portugal would participate in the modernization of european armed forces”.
He is a non military guy that sometimes blurt out words that makes no sense in the military world.
After his interview with CNN he got tackled from everyone. From major generals, to military industry guys.
Story is getting cold because we have a current issue that is much more hot: medical helicopters lost the license, so we are using military helicopters to make medical transports, but our Minister of defense forgot that having a team with readiness 24/7 and a team working 24/7 is not the same thing. So air transports were being missed…
And you muricans wannabes are spending your pennies to protect what from who? Sven’s cousins are invading anyway…
**Do nothing**, have a plane
Portugal is like this guy in the group project, he does nothing, but because he is a friend no let him down.
Joao, Pedro, and Luigi are all taking the Swiss approach of “Russia is far away, someone else will stop them for us”.
*taking notes* thank you distant brother!
You can join and have imaginary planes
^(what does Portugal can offer in this project anyway? Never heard, yet, of anything military wise from the good-wine-good-coffee-left-Spaniards)
Anyone can bring money. We bring better things.
It’s ok, we are going to send some bottle of vinho verde.

You miss 100% of the shots you don‘t take. I respect the portuguese for trying
I’m so proud
