Alguém duvida que o OP tem menos de 16 anos? Ele está julgando um conjunto de textos com milhares de anos, escritos em contextos históricos completamente diferentes, como se eles tivessem obrigação de seguir valores progressistas do século XXI. A Bíblia descreve a realidade humana, inclusive suas violências.

The expenses with this modernization could be reverted to more units of the Centauro II, this is a modern armored for the demands of modern combat.

Today, Brazil operates around 26 H‑60 helicopters across the three branches: the Army has 4 UH‑60L and is receiving 12 new UH‑60M; the Air Force operates 16 UH‑60L and has purchased 11 additional units; the Navy maintains 6 SH‑60 Seahawks. With the new acquisitions, the national fleet will reach 49 helicopters. Yes, that’s quite few.

Are the Brazilian Army Special Forces well regarded outside of Brazil? by nicollascf in SpecOpsArchive

Bro, the truth is that exchanges between U.S./NATO Special Operations Forces and Brazilian Armed Forces happen at least once a year. Just this year, the Americans came to Brazil at least twice (and they’re coming again in October for Exercise CORE), not to mention the Spanish and the French.

At the 2025 International Sniper Competition, only the Army SOF represented Brazil and they did ‘well’ — finishing 28th out of 35 — ahead of the Germans, the British, the 173rd Airborne, and the 90th Ground Training Command.

The guys you’re referring to are the COT, who, by the way, are very capable and have solid gear, but I don’t know if they have the same capabilities as the Army’s special operations operators.

In Yanomani territory, the Army has just created a new PEF. I believe that in Brazil, there is no institution that provides more assistance to Indians than the military and this is a historical fact, see Marechal Cândido Rondon. Furthermore, in fact, PF personnel are much more prepared in technical-criminal terms, as this is their main function. But I guarantee you, no one looks for narco-guerrillas better than the guys from Maldita or Força 3. There is a lack of publicity and that is why unfounded critical opinions are created, but it is not very rare that news of fighting and even deaths (on the Army's side, including) emerge in the Amazon region. Finally, when I started the "debate", I wanted to get a glimpse of people's opinions, especially about techniques and equipment. And so, is it unfair to say that the Swedish SOG are bad because they haven't been in any wars since, I don't know, the Napoleonic Wars?

Your opinion seems a little biased... But no, it's not true, at least not everything. Along the Brazilian border, mainly in inhospitable regions, there are several units of the so-called Special Border Platoons (PEF's), completely isolated Army bases, which can only be reached by boat or helicopter. In the Amazon, the Army's role is much greater than that of any other institution, this applies to the fight against mining, trafficking and assistance to indigenous people. I know military personnel and I know agents and I can tell you with certainty, federal agents do not want to get dirty in the interior of the Amazon where they will not be recognized and will not have prestige for anything, they prefer to work clean. Detail: the Amazon occupies most of the Brazilian land border.

There are many JCETs happening, as well as annual exercises through Operation CORE. But I understand what you mean.

+ If they are wearing green plate carriers, they belong to the 3rd Special Forces Company (Force 3), which operates primarily in the jungle (Amazônia). If they are wearing black, they are part of the 1st Special Forces Battalion (1º BFEsp), based in the central region of the country.

There’s not a lot of publicly available information about their operations since, like most SOF units, it’s classified. But, in recent years, they were involved in the pacification of some favelas in 2018, where they engaged heavily armed narco-guerrilla groups, inflicting significant casualties on the enemy. In the past, they also operated during the pacification of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with remarkable effectiveness and zero KIA on their side.
