Abstract(s)
A guerra Rússia-Ucrânia, iniciada em fevereiro de 2022, tem tido profundas implicações para a segurança mundial e para a postura estratégica da aliança da NATO. Desencadeado pela invasão da Rússia sob o pretexto de proteger as populações de língua russa e de contrariar a expansão da NATO para leste, o conflito tem raízes na anexação da Crimeia em 2014 e nas tensões em curso nas regiões de Donetsk e Luhansk.
A defesa da Ucrânia, reforçada por sistemas avançados de defesa Antiaérea como o S-300, NASAMS, IRIS-T, PATRIOT e MANPADS (por exemplo, Stinger e Starstreak), tem combatido eficazmente as ameaças aéreas russas, impedindo Moscovo de alcançar a superioridade aérea total. A forte resposta internacional, em particular de vários países da NATO, incluiu uma ajuda militar significativa, formação e reforço das defesas da Europa de Leste. Este conflito levou a um aumento das despesas na defesa entre os países membros da NATO, a uma maior prontidão militar e a adaptações estratégicas, incluindo a potencial adesão da Finlândia e da Suécia à aliança, esta última, entretanto já concretizada.
O atual conflito armado e os avanços tecnológicos e de armamento na Artilharia Antiaérea devem motivar uma reavaliação da estratégia de defesa portuguesa, abrangendo a avaliação dos recursos disponíveis, a capacitação existente e as perspetivas de investimento futuro.
De um modo geral, a guerra sublinha a importância crítica dos sistemas de defesa aérea e da cooperação internacional na manutenção da estabilidade regional e no combate a ações agressivas.
The Russia-Ukraine war, initiated in February 2022, has had profound implications for global security and the strategic posture of the NATO alliance. Triggered by Russia's invasion under the pretext of protecting Russian-speaking populations and countering NATO's eastward expansion, the conflict has roots in the 2014 annexation of Crimea and ongoing tensions in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Ukraine's defense, bolstered by advanced antiair defense systems like S-300, NASAMS, IRIS-T, PATRIOT, and MANPADS (e.g., Stinger and Starstreak), has effectively countered Russian aerial threats, preventing Moscow from achieving full air superiority. The robust international response, particularly from several countries of NATO, has included significant military aid, training, and the reinforcement of eastern European defenses. This conflict has led to increased defense spending among NATO members, enhanced military readiness, and strategic adaptations, including the potential membership of Finland and Sweden in the alliance, this last one already finalized. The current armed conflict and advances in technology and utilities in anti-aircraft artillery should prompt a reassessment of Portugal's defence strategy, including an evaluation of available resources, existing capabilities, and prospects for future investment. Overall, the war underscores the critical importance of air defence systems and international cooperation in maintaining regional stability and countering aggressive actions.
