A TRIDENTE VISIT TO PLYMOUTH
Portuguese Tridente-class submarine was spotted outbound in the Sound this afternoon.
The Tridente-class consists of two submarines: NRP Tridente and NRI Arpao, and both commissioned in 2010.
The vessels have a submerged displacement of 2,020 tonne, and length of 67.7 meters, and a beam of 6.35 meters, and can reach speeds of up to 20 knots submerged and have a surface range of 12,000 nautical miles at 8 knots.

A fantastic view of a Ukrainian Flanker lugging a pair of US-supplied JDAM-ERs. What makes this combo wild is that legacy Soviet avionics on the Ukrainian Su-27 can’t natively talk with NATO smart weapons! Ukrainian engineers bypassed this technical barrier by using specialized pylons that allow the crew to program target coordinates into JDAMs on the ground or via a tablet inside the cockpit. This is the ultimate fusion of Cold War heavy metal and 21st-century digital improvisation.
🇵🇹La Fuerza Aérea de Portugal lo tiene claro: F-35. El Gobierno aún debe decidir.
La Fuerza Aérea Portuguesa sitúa el caza estadounidense como opción preferente para reemplazar al F-16, aunque la decisión final sigue en manos del Gobierno y deberá equilibrar capacidad operativa, costes, dependencia e industria https://t.co/bM7uTl1cRL

Europe’s security demands airpower that’s ready now.
With 700+ F‑16s deployed across the continent, fully integrated and battle-tested, Europe has unmatched combat-ready strength. ✈️🌍
A @fap_pt 🇵🇹 voltou a afirmar, que o caça Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, é o favorito para substituir os seus caças F-16 Fighting Falcon. Este caça foi comparado aos caças Gripen E, Rafale e Eurofighter, tendo superado estes em vários aspetos.
O @Exercito_pt 🇵🇹, @fap_pt 🇵🇹 e @MarinhaPT 🇵🇹, vão realizar uma compra conjunta de drones de vigilância e reconhecimento à @TEKEVER 🇵🇹, nos próximos meses.
