The Portuguese Navy has only 36% of the armored vehicles planned under the SAFE program, which represents a total investment of 133 million euros in partnership with Spain. The remaining value of the contract covered systems, equipment, as well as the operation and sustainment of the fleet.
The SAFE program aims to modernize the Navy's land capabilities through the acquisition of armored vehicles. The partnership with Spain allows for sharing costs and technology between the two countries.
The 133 million euro investment is intended to ensure the operational capability of naval forces in land operations. Fleet sustainment refers to the continuous maintenance and logistical support of the vehicles.
The article does not specify how many armored vehicles were actually acquired or which models are involved in the program. The 36% figure indicates that the armored component represents only a fraction of the program's total investment.
