Le Brésil va acheter des armes à la France : hélicoptères, sous-marins et le Rafale à l'horizon
A l'occasion de la visite officielle de Nicolas Sarkozy, qui débute lundi, le Brésil et la France devraient signer plusieurs accords en matière d'armement. Les deux principaux portent sur un contrat permettant la construction de cinquante hélicoptères EC 725 [le Caracal français] par Helibras à Itajuba.
Selon la presse brésilienne, le contrat porterait sur 300 à 400 millions de dollars. Autre contrat important: l'acquisition de quatre sous-marins d'attaque à propulsion classique Scorpène (DCNS) qui seront là encore construits en partie au Brésil. La France devrait également s'engager à aider le Brésil à construire, vers 2020, son premier sous-marin nucléaire d'attaque.
En projet, la vente de Rafale. Les autorités françaises semblent optimistes quant à la possibilité de vendre cet avion dont le président Lula a dit qu'il "l'intéressait beaucoup". L'avion de Dassault a été sélectionné au côté du F-18 américain et du Gripen suédois.

Sarko Closes Deal for SSNs, Helicopters
Posted by Robert Wall at 12/24/2008 5:12 AM CST
Brazil has now officially signed up to buy 50 EC725 medium-lift helicopters, making it the largest customer for the Eurocopter rotorcraft. At the same time, France and Brazil agreed on a deal in which Brazil will buy four DCNS Scorpene-class diesel-electric submarines - and will co-produce, with France, its first nuclear attack submarine (SSN).
The deal was signed in the presence of French president Nicolas Sarkozy - described by some rivals as France's best arms salesman - who was visiting his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Brazil should now become the sixthnation to acquire an SSN, and, with India, the first of a new wave of SSN operators.While modern diesel-electric subs like the Scorpene are increasingly effective, they still cannot approach the speed and range of the SSN.
Meanwhile, the first EC725 for Brazil should be delivered in 2010. Eurocopter says it's the largest contract it has ever signed in South America.

Eurocopter, which has become a master at setting up local production deals to make exports happen, has teamed with Helibras, which will manufacture and assemble the helos.
Eurocopter says the deal will allow Helibras to double its production capacity and staff at its Itajuba plant.
Brazil has been good to Eurocopter, which reports a 50% market share in the civil sector, 67% of the military helo business, and 80% of the parapublic market in Brazil.
The next challenge for Sarko will be to get the Brazilians to buy the Dassault Rafale fighter, which still awaits its first export order. The Gripen NG and F/A-18E/F are also in the running for the fighter program.
Edit: Since SSNs are not photogenic, here's a video of the French President's missus, performing a charming French ditty:

Eita! Só porque assinamos uns acordos já nos vêem como ameaça imperialista, como potência dominadora. E o comentário vem logo de um paraguaio... Se o Brasil quisesse submeter seus vizinhos já poderia ter feito isso com Bolívia (que invadiu com militares uma refinaria da Petrobrás) ou o próprio Paraguai, quando começaram a pressionar por causa de Itaipu. Isso mesmo sem modernizar as FAs...david-ms escreveu:Atrasado mas o Sarkozy ainda está aqui então está valendo

comentário interessante encontrado por lá:
Bueno parece que Brasil se va a armar hasta los dientes y con aviones y submarinos de primera linea, quisiera saber que vamos a hacer nosotros los argentinos si tuvieramos un conflicto armado con Brasil. Brasil se QUIERE CONVERTIR EN LA UNICA POTENCIA LATINOAMERICANA Y SOMETER A TODOS SUS VECINOS OSEA NOSOTROS. BRASIL NO ES AMIGO DE LA ARGENTINA NI DE NADIE EN AMERICA HISPANA.
