"Brazil's military dominance is unmatched in South America. With more than 350,000 active personnel, the Brazilian Armed Forces boast the largest standing military on the continent, dwarfing the forces of neighboring countries like Argentina and Colombia. And it's not just the standing Army that makes it formidable; Brazil has the military assets to it at #12 in the world, according to Global Firepower."
"The Brazilian Navy is one of the strongest and largest naval forces in the region with over 4,600 miles of coastline to patrol. The Navy is also working on its first nuclear submarine, which would elevate its military might even further. ( These are the 20 strongest navies on Earth.) At the same time, Brazil is focused on modernization efforts within its air force. Currently there are 36 Saab Gripen E/F fighter jets on order, which will further enhance Brazil's air power."
Brazil fields more than 350,000 active personnel, the largest standing military in South America, and ranks #12 globally on Global Firepower's PowerIndex. The Brazilian Navy patrols over 4,600 miles of coastline and is developing its first nuclear submarine, expanding regional naval power. The air force is undergoing modernization with an order of 36 Saab Gripen E/F fighter jets to enhance air capabilities. Budgetary concerns accompany the modernization efforts, but neighboring countries do not match Brazil's overall military assets. The Global Firepower 2024 Military Strength Ranking assesses 145 countries using a composite of over 60 defense-related measures.
