Who do they plan on targeting with the long-range missiles?
Penguins?
That’s a nice success for the UK, and it makes sense given Brazil’s new Frigates will also use CAMM. A common effector between the Army and Navy seems like a sensible idea and mirrors what the UK and Poland are doing with their own CAMM systems.
Just adding some quick context,
The reason behind why they decided to drop the deal with India was due to…well…mostly India’s lack of enthusiasm to complete the deal. The newest Akash missile system is a partnership between India/Israel and quite effective, those were the missiles that Brazil was trying to acquire, but India instead decided to keep pushing the sale of the previous generation of the Akash which is made entirely by India and doesn’t need to pay any royalties.
Meanwhile, Italy was keen on offering the best possible deal and equipment. Alongside opening the door to manufacturing the missiles in Brazil through increasing participation by MBDA over there.
So this is mostly a miscalculation by India’s part + Italy being keen to expand their partnership/weapons sales to Brazil. Still good to see that alliance getting stronger.
Who is Brazil scared of? Why would they need these kinds of defenses? Really curious, not sarcastic.
Why aren’t they buying from their good friend Putin? Reminder that Lula is a hardcore pro-Putin and has repeatedly called on Ukraine to surrender.
