Brazil is deepening its defense partnership with India, highlighted by a recent visit from Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, where discussions focused on acquiring India’s secure battlefield communication systems and offshore patrol vessels (OPVs). As Brazil seeks to modernize its military amid regional tensions, India’s Akash missile system and OPVs, designed for maritime security, emerged as key interests, aligning with Brazil’s naval modernization strategy. The collaboration emphasizes co-production and technology transfer, positioning both nations as significant players in the Global South’s defense landscape. The forthcoming Brazil-India defense industry dialogue is anticipated to solidify these interests into actionable agreements, reinforcing strategic ties and enhancing regional security capabilities.
