The portuguese air-force also has 50 Alpha Jet's, among others.

Portugal needs to defend/control its maritime territory, which is about 4 times the actual size of the country, or something like that. I presume the military believes the only way of doing it is by air.

to note also that the Portuguese Airforce is present in Afghanistan, for instance

yeap.
