    In the “war” Portugal-India, the portuguese troops were almost abondened by Portugal, the commander asked AAA and mortars and ammunitions, and they received one AAA canon but no ammunition…
    Portugal president SALAZAR told to the troops something like this “WIN OR DIE” but the portuguese commander was not stupid and for is men to live he surrenders after two days of “war”, this commander was, when in Portugal, banned from the Army.

    just for fun! :p

    But seriously, do you have any info on the Portgese side of the story? Some pilots did pull some daredevil stuff in that 2-day ‘war’.

    BTW, India manufactures Do-228 and has even exported to a couple of countries!

    Well, India had 50.000 soldiers with armored vehicles, aircrafts and navy ships, Portugal had 3500 soldiers, no armored vehicles and only one frigate and two small patrol boats, I heard that one of these patrol boats hit one indian aircraft with a 20 mm AAA but then was sunken by the same aircraft. 🙂
