Portuguese Air Force and future

Hello all here,

Would be nice to see what is the future of the Portuguese Air Force? Despite the current crisis that hit this nation (but less then Greece) on the longer term the FAP has a plan for the future behind the year 2020….

– Replacement of the C-130? Most likely the EMBRAER C-390?
– Replacement of the ageing fleet of Alpha Jets (and likely the TB.30 Epsilon)
– Possible start of looking to a replacement of the F-16 MLU fleet (around 2025?)

What is the current status of the NH.90 helicopters ordered for the Portuguese Army? I hear that the first are already under construction…. but news is almost nothing about what will happen?

Cheers all, specially our Portuguese friends.
