The Portugal Defense Minister has suggested that the French alternatives, such as the Dassault Rafale, may be among the options considered by the Portuguese government.

Portugal aims to refuse to replace its F-16 warriors with the more modern F-35 due to US president Donald Trump. This was said by the country’s defense minister Nunu Melu, Politico’s report and edition of Aereo.Jor.Br.

As you know, Portugal military forces recommend to buy US fighters Lockheed Martin F-35 from the United States. However, when one of the Portuguese newspapers was asked by defense minister Nun Melu, who resigned, if the government listened to this recommendation, he replied: “We cannot ignore the geopolitical situation with our choice.

There are fears that the US government may decide to block access to software updates and spare parts required to make the F-35 fully prepared.

“The world has changed … and this is our ally … can introduce restrictions on use, maintenance, substances and all those associated with ensuring the operation of the aircraft and their use of all kinds of scenarios,” Meli said.

According to him, there are many options to be considered as an alternative to the F-35, especially in the context of European manufacture.

Melu suggested that the French alternatives, such as Dassault Rafale, may be among the options that the Portuguese government considers.

As the Minister of Defense of the Netherlands Ruben Bremelmans said, the Netherlands did not cancel their contract for aircraft supply. However, Lisbon has not yet signed an agreement.

Remember that in Germany, anxiety is growing about possible US control over German F-35 warriors.
