Brazil Has Twice the Artillery Firepower of Any Nation in South America
Briefly

The Brazilian Army operates a range of artillery systems including basic towed and self-propelled units, as well as more sophisticated Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), notably the M109A5 155mm self-propelled howitzer and the M101 105mm towed howitzer, showcasing a strong artillery capability that emphasizes mobility and firepower, highlighting Brazil's military superiority in South America.
The ASTROS II, developed domestically by Brazil, is a highly versatile rocket system capable of firing multiple types of rockets and missiles. Its international popularity indicates not only its effectiveness but also Brazil's growing influence in the global defense market, illustrating the nation’s advancements in military technology.
Brazil's military strategy is heavily supported by the Leopard 1 main battle tank, which emphasizes solid mobility and firepower with its 105mm gun. This acquisition from Germany, together with domestically produced tanks like the EE-T1 Osorio, strengthens Brazil’s armored forces significantly, enabling a robust defense posture in the region.
The Brazilian Navy, considered one of the strongest and largest in the region, is poised to enhance its capabilities further through modernization efforts, including the development of its first nuclear submarine. With over 4,600 miles of coastline to protect, such advancements are critical for maintaining maritime security.
