RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Brazil set a record in November 2021 in exports of the Defense Industrial Base (BID), composed of aircraft, ships, cyber tools for data protection, radar, secure communication systems, weapons, among other high-tech items.

According to data obtained first-hand, the export of these items reached US$1.5 billion. The details of this amount will be presented by the Ministry of Defense on Wednesday (8) during the 6th BID Mosta”, an event that takes place until Thursday (9) in Brasilia.

The result is celebrated by the Defense Minister’s aides, General Braga Netto. The argument is that the development of the national defense industry is considered one of the “pillars” of the current administration and one of the main vectors for the recovery of the Brazilian economy.
