The funniest possible outcome of this would be Lockheed Martin starting up a Tesla competitor

Disclaimer in that I am not in any way an expert on military procurement: it depends on what they buy.

There are three European planes that can do similar roles: the Typhoon (Anglo-German-Italian), the Rafale (French), and the Gripen (Swedish). According to this RUSI article, it looks like the Typhoon is probably actually more expensive per plane. The Typhoon was also, unlike the other two and the F-35, designed to be a pure air superiority fighter, so it's more of an F-22 competitor than an F-35 one. Probably not what Portugal is looking for. That RUSI article has the Rafale as being a bit more expensive than the F-35 and the Gripen being a bit cheaper than it. However, the source for the F-35's number is the flyaway cost for the Americans, who did ordered it in huge numbers and also did most (not all, but most) of the development and I would assume get a better deal than others. Further, it's in an article headlined "F-35’s price might rise, Lockheed warns". So I'm just going to hedge my bets and say:

• If they buy the Typhoon, definitely no, but the Typhoon probably isn't the right fit anyway
• If they buy the Rafale, somewhere around the same, and it'll still be extremely capable
• If they buy the Gripen, yes, and it'll still be very good but not quite individually capable as the other options

If we assume that Portugal would have ordered the same number as Czechia (a fellow European country with a pretty close GDP, population, and military budget that already bought F-35s) and take the flyaway cost on wikipedia of $82.500,000 as the price Portugal would have paid per plane, that's $2 billion in sales that Lockheed Martin doesn't get

...not sure how I managed to miss that

Let's be honest, there's no "technically" about it either way. There is no real definition of what a continent is beyond "we call it a continent"

Not to mention "Moscow also seeks limits on Ukraine's military"

I wonder which faction they'll use this time? The gameplay kinda depends on there being a huge horde of grunts to mow down, and they've now used the two non-humans factions that that description applies to

I think the title means that the re-posted post is the most-opvoted post of all time on lemmy. It is the top of all time on lemm.ee, on lemmy.world it's a can of beans, and on my home instance kbin.earth it's a news article

Space clowns baybeeeeee

(I kinda like the grey knights too, but I am firmly in the camp of "every 40k faction except maybe the tau is evil and that's how it should be")

Funnily enough, the UK has just had a report commissioned about it (and I'm focussing on the UK here since the Guardian is based there and OP alson said they were accessing the UK site). It notes that "In principle, data protection law does not prohibit business models that involve consent or pay."

Technically you've already been in it

(but more seriously, loads of non-EU countries are eligible for Eurovision)

The latter, unless the gunner is particularly incompetent. Hydrogen is just really difficult to contain
