| Rappel du premier message :Le Brésil construira 6 frégates FREMM et 4 sous-marins Scorpène - Citation :
- Le quotidien brésilien Correio Braziliense a annoncé jeudi que le Brésil devrait construit un total de 6 frégates multi-missions FREMM, un projet commun franco-italien à la furtivité élevée, et un total de 4 sous-marins Scorpène (rebaptisé Marlin par les français, puisque les espagnols ne font pas partie de ce projet). Ce contrat ferait partie d’un grand "paquet" que le gouvernement brésilien devrait annoncer le 9 septembre.
L’annonce du Plan Stratégique de Défense devait être effectuée le 7 septembre, mais le gouvernement a préféré la retarder de quelques jours à cause de problèmes d’agenda pour certaines réunions préliminaires avec le président Lula.
En décembre prochain, le président français Nicolas Sarkozy devrait venir au Brésil pour signer les contrats de construction de 6 frégates FREMM et de 4 sous-marins Scorpène. La construction sera effectuée à l’Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ), qui devra être entièrement modernisé pour pouvoir effectuer des travaaux de grande envergure. Construites sur place, les 6 FREMM ne couteront au Brésil que 3 milliards $ (2,1 milliards €). Construites en France, elles auraient couté plus de 4 milliards $ (2,8 milliards €).
La marine nationale et la marine italienne développent conjointement le programme FREMM et devraient recevoir un total de 27 frégates, 17 pour la France, 10 pour l’Italie.
Pour l’instant, seules 8 unités ont été commandées par la France, 6 en version ASM, 2 en version lutte contre la terre. Le contrat est évalué à 3,5 milliards €, avec des livraisons entre 2011 et 2015. L’Italie devrait recevoir 10 frégates, 6 ASM et 4 multi-missions.
FREMM signifie FRégate Européenne Multi-Missions.
C’est un navire multi-missions innovateur, conçu par DCNS et Fincantieri, pour effectuer des missions de lutte anti-aérienne, anti-sous-marine et anti-navires. Il peut effectuer des attaques loin à l’intérieur des terres avec ses missiles de croisière Scalp Naval, lancés depuis des lanceurs verticaux.

Special training prepares Brazilian soldiers for operations in Arid climates
Jun 26, 201638
The Caatinga, or “White Forest” in the native Tupi language, is a biome in Brazil with an average annual rainfall of 500 millimeters, similar to levels seen in deserts. Temperatures range between 25-27 degrees Celsius, while the hard, rocky soil can reach 60 degrees. Thirty-thousand Soldiers from the Brazilian Army’s Northeast Military Command (CMNE) serve in the region, which covers approximately 11 percent of the country.
In 1995, the Army, in an effort to prepare those who will serve in a CMNE unit, created the Caatinga Adaptation Traineeship and the Caatinga Adaptation and Operations Traineeship. Since then, seven training sessions have been held each year, with a total of 6,742 Soldiers having completed the course. The most recent traineeship, attended by 30 participants, occurred between May 14th-20th.
“The Adaptation Traineeship has a single phase, lasting a week, with the goal of having the Soldiers acquire the knowledge needed to survive in the harsh environment of the Caatinga,” explained Captain José Carlucio Gomes de Sousa Junior, head of the Caatinga Instruction and Operations Center’s (CIOpC) Education Division.
In the Adaptation and Operations Traineeship, as the name implies, the Soldiers complete the first instructional step and continue for another week with operational exercises. “The Northeast Military Command conducts Law and Order Assurance operations, which are operations that are intended to preserve public order,” Capt. Carlucio added. “The activities within it serve as context for the second stage of the traineeship.”

- Brazilian M109A5s modernisation contract still pending
Victor Barreira, Istanbul - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
08 July 2016
A contract to refurbish and upgrade 32 former US Army 155 mm M109A5 self-propelled howitzers to an M109A5+ BR configuration for Brazil is still, years later, pending an award by the US government to BAE Systems, the Brazilian Army recently told IHS Jane's .
Reasons for the delay were not revealed, but are likely associated with Brazil's budget limitations.
It is not yet clear when the contract will be signed, the service added. The effort has been in limbo since a Foreign Military Sales contract was agreed upon through a 'letter of offer and acceptance' between the Brazilian Army and US government in December 2014.
The initial plan covered delivery of 16 vehicles in 2016 and the remainder in 2017; however, it was later updated to 2017 and 2018, respectively. The platforms are intended for the 3rd and 5th Self-Propelled Field Artillery Groups of Santa Maria and Curitiba. The non-modernised vehicles are due for delivery in 2018.
A total of 40 M109A5s were granted to Brazil through the US Excess Defense Articles programme, comprising 36 in 2013 and four in 2014.

The Brazilian Navy hopes to modernise its Kürassier light tanks. (Victor Barreira)
Projects to modernise the tanks and to obtain wheeled armoured vehicles are currently undergoing a study phase and a concept and budget feasibility analysis, the spokesperson said.
Those projects integrate the service's multi-phase Strategic Project for Consolidation of the Marines Amphibious Brigade Program (PROBANF), which is to add to marines' firepower, expeditionary, mobility, and protection capabilities.
Seventeen tanks and one 4KH7FA Greif recovery vehicle were received from Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeug (now part of General Dynamics European Land Systems) in 2001 after they were acquired in 1998.

- Russian Arms Exporter Awaits Brazil’s Invitation for Talks on Pantsir Purchases
KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) – Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport has issued a preliminary response to the Brazilian air forces’ purchase request for the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft artillery systems and awaits an invitation for consultations, the firm’s deputy director told Sputnik on Tuesday.
"On April 25, 2016, Russia handed over a preliminary answer to the Brazilian Air Force to the Request for Proposal (RFP) on the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile system. We now expect an invitation for ‘face-to-face’ talks," Sergey Goreslavsky said at the Army-2016 military and technical forum near Moscow. Goreslavsky noted that Brazil’s domestic affairs related to the impeachment of its suspended president have not impeded the course of the talks.

Victor Barreira, Istanbul and Daniel Wasserbly, Washington, DC - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
06 September 2016
The Brazilian Army in August began upgrading an additional 236 of its M113B tracked armoured personnel carriers (APCs) to the M113A2 Mk1 standard (locally designated M113BR), the service told IHS Jane's on 5 September.
The upgrades are being done at the 5th Military Region's Regional Maintenance Park in Curitiba through technology transfers from BAE Systems, and are to be complete in November 2019, the army said.
