Some good old fashioned S-400 AD along with shorads to protect them would be ideal. Along with long range radar and sharing of data as a form of iads.
That would keep the americans pissed.

This is more so because polls indicate presidential candidate Lula as favourite against Bolsonaro in the next national elections. It was former Brazilian defence minister Nelson Jobim (a Russofobe) who under Lula's presidencial term in the 2000s, invited the French in an overall military partnership with Brazil, and this guy has very close relationship with Lula's candidate for the vice-presidency, Geraldo Alckmin.
There are two very powerful and traditional sectors in the Brazilian society: the Catholic and Evangelical churches, on the one side, and the military, on the other. There are close relationships between the Brazilian and the Argentinian military, who do not forget the Malvinas war outcome with Britain.

I got the impression that he wasn't before. But I do not follow the politics in Brazil in sufficient detail.

But he and his party were despised enough by the capitalists in Brazil with his wealth redistribution schemes that he had to go.
Brazil bought Mi-35M helicopters from Russia when Lula was in power.
The current Bolsonaro government is going to take them out of service.
Supposedly Brazil cannot keep those Mi-35M operational. Which is funny considering countries like Iraq and Afghanistan with zero aviation industry manage to do it.
Bolsonaro is just doing it to please his masters in Washington. He also wanted to hand over Embraer to Boeing on a silver platter.
Now the deal with the nuclear submarines, I don't get it, Brazil has wanted nuclear submarines for a long time. They have had a nuclear program at least since the time of the military dictatorship. A lot of people thought when Lula came into power that he would kill the nuclear program, as it is considered a legacy of that, but instead he actually increased its funding. However it hasn't done much progress. And the French basically cut tail and ran after claiming they would assist Brazil if they bought the Scorpenes.
I hope after the whole business with Australia the French will reconsider the level of their assistance to Brazil's nuclear submarine program.
