    The first test of the Brazilian anti-ship missile MANSUP

    The Brazilian Navy continues to disseminate information about their first naval test of the MANSUP (Míssil Antinavio Nacional de Superfície) anti-ship missile of the national Brazilian design on November 27, 2018. The rocket was launched from an experimental launcher from the Brazilian Corvette V 34 Barroso, 300 km from the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The test was considered successful, although it is indicated that telemetry data showed the need to refine a number of rocket systems.

    Brazil sold its Mirage 2000 fighter jets to a French private company.

    As Brazilian media reported on May 29, 2019, the Brazilian Air Force sold nine of the 11 former French fighters Dassault Mirage 2000B / C fired from their weapons to French private company Procor. The contract was signed by the Brazilian Air Force in the US capital Washington (Comissão Aeronáutica Brasileira em Washington - CABW), and the sale was made for a very insignificant amount of BRL 1.8 million (452 thousand US dollars).

    Το Procor companies apparently were sold eight Mirage 2000С (Brazilian tail numbers with "4940" to "4947") and one Mirage 2000В (Brazil tail number "4933") stored in Anapolis. Another Mirage 2000C aircraft ("4949") and Mirage 2000B ("4932") are stored in Brasilia, and, apparently, will be stored as exhibits.

    The sale of the Brazilian Mirage 2000B / C to Procor for less than half a million dollars raised questions in a number of publications, since, according to unofficial sources in the Brazilian Air Force, selling these aircraft as spare parts to countries that continue to operate Mirage 2000 would have helped to save at least 10 million euros.

    According to Brazilian resources, on September 25, 2019, the head of the large completed diesel engine-electric submarine S 40 Riachuelo of the modified French Scorpene project (Brazilian designation type SBR), first went into the sea for factory sea trials. The boat was built at the Brazilian shipyard Itaguai Construçoes Navais (ICN) in the Gulf of Cepetiba near Rio de Janeiro on the project and with the assistance of the French shipbuilding association Naval Group and will be the first in a series of four units.

    MTC 300 - The Brazilian Tomahawk Missile, Brazilian Cruise missile | SCBR |--SUBTITLED--|



    See the launch of the MTC 300, the Brazilian cruise tactical missile manufactured by AVIBRAS with national technology.

    The MTC 300 missile, formerly called the AV TM 300, is part of the ASTROS 2020 system, an innovative artillery system manufactured by the national industry AVIBRAS in partnership with the Brazilian army.

    As a comparison, we can call this the missile "Brazilian tomahawk", it is a tactical missile with Brazilian technology with a range of 300 km (it can have versions of greater range depending on the Warhead or the turbine technology) and 10 m of precision.

    In this edition it is possible to see a launch of the missile MTC 300, a demonstration of the detonation of 500Kg of TNT (a destruction similar to 200Kg of explosive of the warhead of the missile) and launches of the tomahawk missile.

    In the video, General Ivan Ferreira Neiva Filho and journalist Roberto Godoy demonstrate the importance of the Brazilian cruise missile.

    This is most likely due to pressure of USA, mi-35 isn't a complex and complicated helicopter to maintain as suggested African countries and countries far poorer than Brazil have had no issues. They will most likely be pressured into a rip off deal from USA.

    Setback For Russia? Mi-35 Attack Helicopters Supplied To The Brazilian Air Force Decommissioned Over Various Issues

    This premature retirement was announced even as Vice President Antonio Hamilton Mourao said earlier this month that Brazil’s purchases of Russian weaponry are hampered by the country’s status as a major non-NATO ally.

    The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) purchased a batch of 12 helicopters for $386 million in 2008. The Squadron’s 12 helicopters were supplied in four batches, each with three aircraft, and have accumulated over 8,000 flying hours.

    However, there have been unconfirmed reports that the Mi-35 is a difficult-to-maintain aircraft with limited availability due to a lack of spare parts. The aircraft will be phased out of service beginning March 1, according to an internal FAB document, with the process expected to be completed by December 31

    According to some Spanish publications, the short battle stay is due to a variety of factors. The Mi-35 M’s high operational expenses, convoluted logistics, and lack of manufacturer support are the most pressing reasons for its deactivation, said a report of Frontier India.

    Brazil doesn't need such sophisticated aircraft, although I believe that they are looking at more Gripen. Which if they do will do them for the next 25-30yrs, along with the AMX and super tucano more than enough

    Sounds like the sort of supply and support problems they have with gas deliveries in the EU...

    Their HATO allies would pressure them to order at the last minute, and not have a pool of parts on hand, so any problems mean a wait while the new parts arrive and can be fitted...

    HATO is an anti Russian organisation, so there is really only one reason to be a major ally of HATO... unless they want their young men sent to Iraq or Afghanistan to get shot at.

    This is a political choice... but do want to know a secret... I suspect with the actual complication and the actual cost of keeping F-35s operating and flying will mean more and more US allys will find they want to retire their F-35s and replace them with a cheaper more reliable older generation platform...
