"BAE Systems is building for the Brazilian Army the version 150 M113B M113A2 Mk1 for an amount of 41.9 billion managed through an FMS contract" link "The Brazilian Marines acquires the Astros II system.On December 12 the official bulletin of the Brazilian government announced the purchase of the Astros II system Avibras by FUZILEIROS MATERIAL COMMAND DO Navais"
And Argentina?
Nothing, except for the modernization of the TAM tank. The Army began to work on the TAM S-21 with Germany.

Does this mean that Brazil could beat Argentina in a conventional fight? |

Well I know where my money would be if the two came to blows….. This website
globalfirepower.com likes to rank countries by military strength it's probably not all that accurate but it has Brazil at 11th and Argentina at 31st in the world |

Mexico is in the 30th place…. with NO tanks! : ) |

And Germany is rated #13. I'm pretty sure Brazil would squish any potential opponent in South America, and even give the US a hard time. |

Jeff, there were not a possibility that Argentina and Brazil went on War.
But if that happen, we had the same chance as Uruguay against us.
Both Armies are in the way of amalgamate in the future to fight together for mutual interest in our Continent. Amicalement

Not a good site for assessing relative strengths. As an example, it goes on numbers, and it has 9 countries with more submarines than the UK – therefore the UK is quite weak. Except that all the British submariness are nuclear powered… |

The listing for Libya was updated on 7/1/2011. So what is its standing now after what has happened recently? Robert |

Perhaps they include the drug cartels in Mexico's TO&E. |

Globalfirepower gives Australia 36 MLRS, which is 36 more than we have. Credibility for confusing 155mm with MLRS – low. |

Too bad the old onosorio tank was overlooked,it was very promising. |

Probably the most well equipped ground forces on the continent are those of Chile. That said Brazil's armed forces are more than a match for anyone on the continent. |
