Portugal will replenish the fleet of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with American M113 armored personnel carriers

Ukraine will receive a large number of armored vehicles, such a decision was made last Friday, January 20, at the Ramstein meeting. The United States and the United Kingdom will provide most of it, but other countries in Europe will also contribute, such as Portugal. In Lisbon, they decided to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the supply of American armored personnel carriers.

Portugal, despite the fact that almost nothing is said about it, is very actively supporting the Zelensky regime. Last October, Portuguese Defense Minister Elena Carreiras promised to supply Kyiv with six multi-purpose Ka-32A11BC helicopters, produced in Russia in 1997 and acquired by Portugal in 2007. The Russian Foreign Ministry sent a protest to Lisbon, the delivery was postponed, but not canceled. Even earlier, in July 2022, the Portuguese Ministry of Defense sent five 114 mm M155 towed howitzers and fifteen M113 armored personnel carriers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, 532 tons of aid was sent to Ukraine.

So this time, Portugal is sending Kyiv American M113 armored personnel carriers, 120 mm ammunition, most likely mortar mines, as well as medical equipment. This is confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of the country.

Portugal will send to Ukraine a second set of 14 M113 armored personnel carriers, eight high power generators for power generation, additional 120mm ammunition and two tons of medical and sanitary equipment

- said in a statement.

In addition, Portugal will send military instructors to Germany, where they will join the European Training Mission and train the Ukrainian military.

strictly according to the Russian proverb: Where there is a horse with a hoof, there is a crayfish with a claw - Portugal with M113

And what claims do these "port wines" have against Russia??...
A few years ago, the Russian Federation sent Be-200s to put out fires in Portugal. It must have humiliated them somehow.
It was necessary to pour gasoline instead of water on them. They would not be before the war.

Also, probably, like in Small Britain, phantom colonial pains. At night, in a dream, it beats right in the head with a sledgehammer: "Make Portugal Great Again", does not let me sleep.

I talked with the Spaniards in the 90s - even they had an attitude towards the Portuguese, as they do now in Europe towards the Ukrainians. The most shabby country in Western Europe was until Eastern Europe recognized itself as "also Europeans". Naturally, against the backdrop of Ukrainians in Europe, Portugal can dream of both "great" and "again".

Back in 1990, my friend took part in the filming of the final scene of the film with Sean Connery in Lisbon, "Russian House". It was cool that they portrayed a "walking" Soviet fishing trawler (with the engine disassembled). On a Hollywood scale on the pier. The perfumes were photographed, with the entire film crew. In Lisbon, the Murmansk trawl fleet had a repair base. Now, probably only in the Canaries.

And how long can our trawler autonomously "somewhere out there" catch fish? Well, to completely do without these rembases.
Or, let's say, for the refrigerator to come up, take the catch, drop the food-water-kerosene and the trawler goes on by itself. I understand that repair in the database is an extreme case, a serious breakdown? And on trifles and on your own you can. And with good care, the equipment just does not tend to break.

And so they are not against the dismemberment of Ukraine? There is no need to pretend that some Western countries are helping Ukraine just because the State Department ordered so.

[AdAstra]

Obviously, they are afraid that we will not catch up with them in some way, as I remember once saying.

Portugal "revenges" for Angola and Mozambique ...
The USSR entered Angola immediately after leaving Portugal in 1975, but the Portuguese probably believe that only the USSR is to blame for this, and they shift their "grievances" to Russia.

[Boris Ivanov]

I think Russia will remember for a long time the faces and full names of these accomplices of Ukroreykha!

Unfortunately, this is not in the nature of Russians. We forgive and justify almost everyone and everything, for which we sometimes get, but this is probably no longer possible - reptiles use it. Here next time, let the United States extinguish their fires.

[voice of reason]

The heirs of the Salazar regime support their own ...

[Normann]

It has long been clear and understandable to everyone - those countries that supply weapons to Ukraine are acting on orders from above (from across the ocean).

however, how many "experienced" military instructors have divorced in the world, only penguins are missing to train outlying warriors

I understand that under the guidance of "British instructors" even penguins fly.

Let the Portuguese instructors first practice on chickens, or something. Then they would have experimented on the Ukrainians.

Portugal is already one of the poorest countries in Europe. It is easier and cheaper for her to give it to Ukraine than to write it off and then dispose of it.

[AdAstra]

And I remember we were going to catch up with her somewhere.

[karabas-barabas]

Quote from Fizik13

Portugal is one of the poorest countries in Europe

Portugal has become the best country in the world for people who have the opportunity to work remotely or at home. Security, health care, education for children, infrastructure at a high level, prices are the lowest in Europe.

Portugal sends American M113 armored personnel carriers, 120 mm ammunition to Kyiv

While the Europeans are afraid to fall out of the general clip of "confrontation with Russia," therefore, they are trying whoever can, and even beyond that. I am sure that the time will come when, with the same speed, they will refuse this assistance under various pretexts. Well, in the meantime, until the last Ukrainian to the ghostly "victory on the battlefield."

[Murmur 55]

Question to knowledgeable comrades, what is the dead zone of the fur. water ahead of this transport?

[Vashek]

Drag more, then come in handy for recycling. Aluminum is expensive.

[air wolf]

Well, aluminum scrap will not hurt us, we need a lot of infantry fighting vehicles and aircraft!

[Pavel57]

M113 has already become the main armored personnel carrier in Ukraine.

[voyaka uh]

Portugal has a large and influential Ukrainian community. Just like in Canada.
Therefore, Portugal is one of the firmest supporters of assistance to Ukraine.

[Bolt cutter]

large and influential Ukrainian community

Pretty big, yes. Until 2004, Portugal was the poorest country in the EU, from where people left for England, Holland, etc. for permanent residence and distributed their residence permits to almost anyone who came. Ukpy used it. As for the influential, I doubt it very much, the Portuguese do not let strangers go beyond construction sites and restaurant kitchens.

[YOUR]

Whoever does not instruct does not train the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So the Portuguese descended. The coolest warriors.

Nenko was lucky again .... Wonderful M113, for the disposal of everything unnecessary on the Nenko.

[AlexWar]

We have the same ..., pierced with machine guns, no one was particularly prepared for the war. Enemies of the people, apparently promising armored personnel carrier Kurgan, were pushed aside.
The film tanks, that a promising tank before the war did not go into production with difficulty, I thought this time the 5th column interfered with the introduction of new weapons. People in the field.

Look at the beginning of the film and about spies, and what has now changed. Who pushed the production of the promising armored personnel carrier Kurgan, no one started it
The patriots have diminished, those factories that started the production of weapons on time are great. Kurgan plants are outsiders in development. The production of armored personnel carriers had to be transferred to gas, for example, they make armored personnel carriers.
That is why the promising armored personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicle Kurgan was not released. he would help to attack now.
The generals didn’t like his height, just let them sit in our armored personnel carriers with the letter zyu with 5 mm armor
Before the start of the special operation, nothing was done to the mound, the towers were still standing on equipment, no one gave money, but they gave tigers
No matter how we said, someone was blamed if there were no things in the warehouses, or there were no new air defenses. It’s just that in the Moscow region there is a cut of money for the wrong thing
The Department of Defense keeps civilians instead of keeping their drivers.
In Soviet times, part lived independently, even the commanders were military
I watched one part of the air defense, they were looking for drivers of 15-25 civilians, why it is not clear why conscripts cannot be put on cars
Why is there no new air defense money did not reach, even with a closed budget, and also why there is no air defense throughout the country, this is how we agreed with the United States
America did not reduce the cost of military equipment, they have been and are developing different ones.
If we take the US Army now, then they will have high-precision weapons and we will also face their latest developments. It's like world football champions, we can't go through Ukraine
In America, all the production of military equipment NGA robots translate
The production of military weapons should be transferred to robots and not manual labor.
The world has existed for more than one millennium and wars go on constantly
The army should never be forgotten.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

cool ... purely theoretically, it was possible to make a unit out of the Vietnamese in the NWO ... when their grandfathers and fathers were dismantled me113 into a husk .... this betra is like a rag for a bull for them

World War III, Western countries supply weapons and their special forces

Nechápu proč mají státy NATO tolik zbrani?? Proti komu?? Teď už to vim, aby rozkradli Rusko. Ale to se jim nikdy nepodaří, jen oni to ještě neví.
