Brazil To Buy SAM Batteries From Russia
Brazil and Russia are in talks to buy surface-to-air missile batteries with negotiations due to start in March.
According to the Brazilian foreign ministry statement, the countries were committed to “the joint development of new defense products and to the participation of strategic Brazilian defense companies in the production processes with full, effective technology transfer.”
The defense ministry said Brasilia was interested in acquiring from Russia three Pantsir-S1 medium-range surface-to-air missile batteries and two batteries of portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
Over the past few years, Brazil has developed a home-grown defense industry and has tied defense contracts to full technology transfer, so it can build weapons on its own in the future.
