Brazilian president stated in the beggining of WW2 that a snake would smoke a cigar before Brazil goes to war. Then Germany sunk some ships in the brazilian coast and the snake started smoking.
Fun fact. The name of the most popular brazilian sweet, the Brigadeiro, means literally Brigadier. The sweet was created and named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes (he was from brazilian airforce but anyway xD), as a way to support his presidential campain in 1945. He lost the election, but the sweet was a huge success among people since that time.
In 1945 the Brazilian Airforce didn't exist yet, it was still the Brazilian Army Air Corps. IIRC the Airforce started as a separated branch from the army only in the 50s.
Teoricamente não foi criado, foi adaptado de um doce gaúcho chamado Negrinho, que em sua vez é uma variação do doce de leite. Hoje em dia o Negrinho e o Brigadeiro são as mesmas coisas pois o negrinho original dava mais trabalho.
Anyone who is truly Brazilian knows that all this footage is just a big funny theater. Out of 10 recruited Brazilian soldiers, 9 only do cleaning tasks, in other words, they are housewives in uniform. Many of them only shoot once. I served in the army in 2006 and spent 1 year just mowing the lawn and cleaning pools.
When the second world war was going on, there was a lot of pressure for Brazil to enter the war. But our leaders didn't want to (we had good relations with Germany) and the Brazilian people would say: it's easier for a snake to smoke a pipe than for us to enter this war. So when Brazil entered the war or military adopted the snake smoking a pipe.

you should check for: - "guerreiro de Selva"/cigs (troop specialised in jungle warfare) - army commandos and (special forces) - navy amphibious commandos (sort of equivalent to navy seals) - navy grumec (usually subaquatic operations) - airbone para-sar (special forces/search and rescue from airforce) - bope as mentioned by everybody basically commandos/special forces of police heavily used in rio de janeiro but other brazilian cities also have similar units - bepi like bope for caatinga a very specific biome which is similar to desert - gate unit specific to sao paulo but very simila to swat
Brazil never started a war, but never lost one either. We've been invaded several times by countries including France and Holland (some may argue we weren't Brazil yet, as it happened before independence, but we were already a mix of Portuguese, Africans and Indigenous, so, true Brazilians in my opinion). We are a pacifist nation, but a fierce defensive power.
Brazil obliterated Paraguay with the help of Argentina. The thing is, Paraguay was trying to surrender, Argentina had retreated but the Brazilian Army kept going and killed 1/3 of Paraguay's population. (almost all male population, living woman and female children). There's some debate about who started the conflict. The "Ponte da Amizade" was a way to celebrate the peace (build almost 150 years later). (pq eu to respondendo em inglês se claramente eu sei que és brasileiro? hauhauhuaa)
@@RaphaelLeite I don't know about Paraguay trying to surrender. Maybe the whole country wanted to. But Solano Lopez didn't, and as supreme dictator, he was the only one who could officially do it, and he never did, he had to be killed for the war to end. Kind of like Hitler. Whole germany wanted to surrender. They were sending teens and old men to the front, but until the Fuher himself gave the order, they had no choice but to fight.
@@pedroc3948 yeah, the people, not the leadership. But, Argentina and the surrounding countries were like "ok, let's pause and talk" Brazil in the other hand just "nope, he wants war, we are giving war". It's in history books from Argentina and other countries, never saw in a Brazilian one. (in fact the official Brazilian history just say that they were attacking and the Brazilian army defending and hoping for the Solano's surrender, ok, I'm oversimplifying a huge and brutal war). (by the way... are you Brazilian?)
just as context "The war left Paraguay utterly prostrate; its prewar population of approximately 525,000 was reduced to about 221,000 in 1871, of which only about 28,000 were men" from a google search. About the Brazilian brutality, it will be a bigger and deeper search, but I can do if you want :)
I was reading the Wikipedia article in English (I don't know why it's bigger than the Brazilian version) and the only possible analogy I can make is that the Brazilian army behaves like a Zerg Hoard. But you are correct. Solano was terrible.
Brazil has just like US, an Army, Navy & Air Force, they have a Swat unit as well, have their own Navy Seals in a way called GRUMEC which specializes in Counterterrorism etc. 360k active & 340k reserve, $25 Billion budget, 700 or so total aircraft I believe. Definitely wouldn’t underestimate them, they don’t have nukes but do have the materials to make nukes if need be and they have 134 Naval ships
Some Brazilians want nukes. But Brazilian State have been Europe's little bi*** since the 80's. European politicians are the ones who decide what we do with our land, especially the richest portions of it.
Oh Brazil have nukes, believe that. It is not fancy, and is not something that practical I believe. Its not hard to build one nowadays. And we have uranium deposits. But I assure you we have. If we don´t our admirals are even more stupid than we already believe they are. We have three nuclear plants, one of them is taking brazilian style government time to finish. The two that are producing were administered by a crooked admiral. Using the nuke will be like a Monty Python sketch. I pitty the ignorant soldier that will receive an order like this: "Soldier José da Silva! You mission is to get this comissioned hand cart with this big crate and run toward this place on the map asap. Don´t look inside! Pay atention! And soldier João will carry this device with a battery that ha will be requested to be activated once you get there". And boom goes the non voluntary enlisted cannon fodders.

Hey, nice video! Im from brazil, and just to let you know: the camouflage on face like that, in the environment of jungles, its just perfect. Our military change those depending of the terrain. we have a lot of different biomes so there are different camos.
Brazil is a wonderful country and with good people. We are in a constant modification, and with politics transformation. We invite all foreigners to come and enjoy our land ❤
I am Brazilian and I tell you the truth, the Brazilian army is not even a shadow of the brave warriors who fought in World War II. Our former Minister of the Environment spoke to the generals in Congress, saying that the Brazilian army runs away from war like the devil runs away from the cross. And he spoke the truth.
You should definally take a look at the BOPE especial forces, they are a police tatical team that usually requires a army background to join, they do some really intense inside operations.
Since 2012, Brazilian Armed Forces have been using the Imbel's IA2 assault rifle. There are 556 and 762 versions. Imbel is a Brazilian industry and it's our first 100% national rifle.

If you liked Brazilian Army, look for a special group called GRUMEC - Grupamento de Mergulhadores de Combate (Combat Divers Group in free translation) of our Brazilian Navy. A group of highly trained and skilled of individuals specialized in counterterrorism. I think you'll be amazed!
Obrigado por mostrar um pouco das habilidades das nossas tropas do exército eu particularmente tirei meu tempo num batalhão de elite no sul do país por 6 anos pra mim foi gratificante ....
Not in winter yet, but we do have special training with 11° mountain brigade. The same unit who went to the Italy campaing in WW2 and Hati in 2004 to 2014
Tropas de inverno realmente não temos, contudo temos tropas especializadas em todos o biomas existentes no Brasil, inclusive tropas de montanha e não somente guerra na selva.
Correct. The really Brazilian army expertise is jungle battles where original people are part of it, CIGS is a special force and is located in Amazon State.
Errado, na vdd todos, no Brasil também neva em alguns lugares do Sul do Brasil, e lá tem brigadas especializadas e batalhas em neve, algumas treinam até em outros países q neva mais, mais sim, na selva somos imbatíveis e no Serrado também
We didn't really fully adopt the ia2, most units use the good old FN fal. There is a variant of the IA2 in .308 aswell It's slowly being adopted into the military but special forces also use m4's, in law enforcement some guys use the madsen chambered in 7.62x51 if i'm not mistaken, wich is really crazy to see but it's worth a mention nonetheless
There aren't many Madsens in the Military Police as far as I know for a few reasons (logistics, availability, practicality and standardization) but the few that do exist always make the news because of their unusual appearance.
Hello, I served in the Brazilian Army in 1999. It was a great experience in my life, and I learned values that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Fun Fact. Brazilian Military retirees have a per retiree deficit of 158 thousand reais each year paid for by the average taxpayer while this average taxpayer, when he retiers, is about a 9 thousand reais deficit each year. Its a very very nice Military. Just not for the Brazilian taxpayer
The Brazilian Navy also has an TH-cam channel and they made some videos about the navy and marines special forces, I think it would be a cool react for you.
5:15 "That is a cool logo [snake smoking]" During the WW2 people used to mock brazilian army: "it is more likely a snake to smoke than brazilian army to fight" However, after the liberation of Italy the saying change to: "The snake is smoking"
Fun fact: Brazil has the best/most trained military when it comes to jungle combat. Lots of countries come here to train in the jungle. And that face paint disappears in the jungle, you can find pictures of it working as they should. (There's another shade of green they use as well, which is more like "olive green" and in my opinion it blends better with the uniform and the environment)
@@felipejose8834 nada mesmo, ele só quis escrever qualquer coisa mesmo pra mostra a imagem dele e q simpatiza com Nazi.... deve ser uma criança ou um doente... é assim q eles se reconhecem e começa a falar com outros neonazi
Cheers from brazilian infantry! You should definitively check our jungle warfare training in manaus, amazonic rainforest and some of our elite commands, events like CORE are very interesting since a lot of foreign countries take part in exercises.
Imbel IA2 is Brazil's official weapon. National production. This weapon has versions 5.56 and 7.62. It is very resistant to water, forest, desert environments, etc., because Brazil has several biomes. IA2 is a weapon inspired by the AK47, but modern.
O problema é que essa arma não é tão boa quanto parece, servi o EB por 4 anos e achava o ia2 uma arma perfeita, ate eu sair e ter a chance de atirar com diversas outras armas fora do país, incluindo a arma que estava sendo estudada junto com o ia2 para a substituição do fal, o Taurus T4(que inclusive foi adotado por outras forças armadas ao redor do mundo, diferente do ia2 que so o Brasil usa essa bomba); e com essa experiência de atirar com diversos outros fuzis, a única conclusão que eu chego é que o EB escolheu o ia2 pelo fato da imbel ser estatal e precisar de motivos para continuar recebendo dinheiro do estado (famoso jeitinho Brasileiro), mas como o pessoal acha que o exército brasileiro é o maior do mundo e nunca erra, tenho ctz que serei atacado por dizer que o exército escolheu mal. Edit: apenas depois de pedir minha baixa e ter a chance de servir no exterior eu percebi o quão despreparado o Brasil está para uma guerra moderna, existem profissionais de vdd dentro das forças armadas, mas as forças armadas não são profissionais infelizmente, tomam decisões burras e não dão valor real a seus militares, o que é uma pena, pq realmente gostaria de ver o Brasil sendo uma potência militar enorme
@Samuel_Almeida82 Pode falar em português comigo. Sou brasileiro tb. Foi inspirado no AK47 em questão de usabilidade. Em questão de ergonomia foi inspirado no Fal. Mas eu me referi em usabilidade, resistência à intempéries, lama, areia, cadência, multiversão etc. Ambos estamos certos.

Hello friend, my first time on your channel. I'm Brazilian, not military, but I'm enthusiastic about the topic. Your approach is really cool, the institutional video is very well designed, I already knew it, naturally. I'd just like to say that although courage and bravery in combat are essential virtues of any force, I believe that beyond that, in Brazil there is a human value of protection and support (for relief) that inspires us. Since rivalry and conflict aren't in our nature, we can collectively direct our energy toward a parallel principle. As the army motto suggests, "Strong arm, helping hand", certainly something to be proud of. In addition to honoring our history and our allies. PS.: I will pay more attention to your general content. Good job friend.
Former army officer here, did 4 years in an armored unit in Rio Grande do Sul. The main service rifle, at least here in the south, is still the old FN FAL, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, but you can find 5.56mm IA2 rifles in some units, specially officers corps and the academy. Our uniform is patterned after the old BDU, and printed in an older pattern called Lizard or French Lizard pattern, but 2024 is a transition year to a more modern, ACU cut uniform and coyote boots. The sky blue beret shown in the video is assigned to troops in UN peacekeeping missions, while the royal blue beret with the snake badge is a limited use beret for WWII veterans, so it's not widely available. The standard issue berets are OD, black for armored troops and crimson for airborne, as well as a few other special issue colors. Ngl, I miss my army days, but there's just so much to improve. Brazil still uses a conscription based system, so every male citizen has to enlist the year they turn 18 for a compulsory one year service. Most units don't do much more than daily upkeep, and there are a few training exercises every year.
I befriended a guy who goes by Royal Marine on hell let loose I know it wasn't you but it did make me think of you and the dude was just as cool and I enjoyed talking trash about the trash command structure we had in that match lol
for those who dont care about history: In WW2, brazil once said they would never join the war and said "nem que a cobra fume" with means, not even if the snake smoke. But near the end of the war, the Axis shoot down our ships, so we said "a cobra vai fumar" or, the snake is going to smoke. And now, Brazil has joined the war, and Helped the USA, sending troops and vehicles to them. And as a brazilian... all can i say is: de nada
The uniforms of the Brazilian Army changed to another, more modern one and without these rank markings. They are now on the chest of the jacket. The camouflage remains the same. There are also the caatinga troops (a Brazilian biome more like a desert climate with little vegetation, drought), which has khaki and brown tones. The boots changed to green, brown and khaki depending on the type of troop. The standard armament that will replace the FN FAL will be the IMBEL IA-2 in 5.56mm and 7.62mm calibers.
The IMBEL IA2, in both 5.56 and 7.62, was adopted in 2012 to replace the locally produced FN-FAL versions (still ongoing). The IMBEL MD (96/97)carbines were never adopted for wide service in the army, only on some special groups and police forces. LMV's, local project Guarani APC's and CENTAURO II tank destroyers are all made by Italian IVECO, MBT's are german Leopard 1A5. Howitzers are american M109, AAA are Guepards, MRLS are multi purpose munitions compatible ASTROS 2020. helicopters HA-1 Esquilo, HM-1 Panther, HM-2 Black Hawk, HM-3 Cougar, HM-4 Jaguar and Eurocopter EC 725 Caracal.
IMBEL (portuguese for Military Materials Industry [Indústria de Material BELico]) produces a licensed version of the FN FAL and, as of 2014, the IMBEL IA2 carabine and assault rifle that comes in 5.56 and 7.62 respectively. Brasil is so used to the FAL that the IA2 was designed with the FAL magazine in mind.
O senhorzinho do vídeo é um ex-pracinha, nome que se dá ao soldado que lutou na segunda guerra mundial e cujo lema era: a cobra vai fumar" rs por isso a cobra no simbolo deles. Temos muito orgulho deles mas na época, o presidente da época, apesar das indicações americanas de aproveitar a experiencia de guerra dessa galera, os marginalizou e atualmente é que eles são muito celebrados por nós brasileiros.
There is this joke about brasilian army's moto "strong arm, friendly hand", that it refers to mutual help in relieving stress, if you catch my meaning. This joke became popular as it was discovered the armed forces were using tax payers's money to buy viagra.
I love this video. Since you enjoyed the Brazilian Army's video, I think you might enjoy a video about the Primeira Brigada de Infantaria de Selva - Comando Militar da Amazonia. I was from the Army and I love it wholeheartedly. You're welcome.

@@Neto_WM eu já tinha 10 anos mas conheço a história 😂
Força e honra! Jamais duvide de um brasileiro !
Strength and honor! Never doubt a Brazilian!
As a Brazilian i have much pride in our country and military
you should check for:
- "guerreiro de Selva"/cigs (troop specialised in jungle warfare)
- army commandos and (special forces)
- navy amphibious commandos (sort of equivalent to navy seals)
- navy grumec (usually subaquatic operations)
- airbone para-sar (special forces/search and rescue from airforce)
- bope as mentioned by everybody basically commandos/special forces of police heavily used in rio de janeiro but other brazilian cities also have similar units
- bepi like bope for caatinga a very specific biome which is similar to desert
- gate unit specific to sao paulo but very simila to swat
O cara traduziu o nome "Comandos Anfibios" kkkkk

Brazil never started a war, but never lost one either. We've been invaded several times by countries including France and Holland (some may argue we weren't Brazil yet, as it happened before independence, but we were already a mix of Portuguese, Africans and Indigenous, so, true Brazilians in my opinion). We are a pacifist nation, but a fierce defensive power.
Brazil obliterated Paraguay with the help of Argentina. The thing is, Paraguay was trying to surrender, Argentina had retreated but the Brazilian Army kept going and killed 1/3 of Paraguay's population. (almost all male population, living woman and female children). There's some debate about who started the conflict. The "Ponte da Amizade" was a way to celebrate the peace (build almost 150 years later). (pq eu to respondendo em inglês se claramente eu sei que és brasileiro? hauhauhuaa)
@@RaphaelLeite I don't know about Paraguay trying to surrender. Maybe the whole country wanted to. But Solano Lopez didn't, and as supreme dictator, he was the only one who could officially do it, and he never did, he had to be killed for the war to end. Kind of like Hitler. Whole germany wanted to surrender. They were sending teens and old men to the front, but until the Fuher himself gave the order, they had no choice but to fight.
@@pedroc3948 yeah, the people, not the leadership. But, Argentina and the surrounding countries were like "ok, let's pause and talk" Brazil in the other hand just "nope, he wants war, we are giving war". It's in history books from Argentina and other countries, never saw in a Brazilian one. (in fact the official Brazilian history just say that they were attacking and the Brazilian army defending and hoping for the Solano's surrender, ok, I'm oversimplifying a huge and brutal war). (by the way... are you Brazilian?)
just as context "The war left Paraguay utterly prostrate; its prewar population of approximately 525,000 was reduced to about 221,000 in 1871, of which only about 28,000 were men" from a google search. About the Brazilian brutality, it will be a bigger and deeper search, but I can do if you want :)
I was reading the Wikipedia article in English (I don't know why it's bigger than the Brazilian version) and the only possible analogy I can make is that the Brazilian army behaves like a Zerg Hoard. But you are correct. Solano was terrible.
Brazil has just like US, an Army, Navy & Air Force, they have a Swat unit as well, have their own Navy Seals in a way called GRUMEC which specializes in Counterterrorism etc. 360k active & 340k reserve, $25 Billion budget, 700 or so total aircraft I believe. Definitely wouldn’t underestimate them, they don’t have nukes but do have the materials to make nukes if need be and they have 134 Naval ships
Some Brazilians want nukes. But Brazilian State have been Europe's little bi*** since the 80's. European politicians are the ones who decide what we do with our land, especially the richest portions of it.
Pretty much that - we don't have nuclear weapons, but if push comes to shove, we can build one FAST...
O Brasil tem 1.600.000 soldados na reserva e não 340.000 fora os para militares que são 400.000 policiais
Oh Brazil have nukes, believe that. It is not fancy, and is not something that practical I believe. Its not hard to build one nowadays. And we have uranium deposits. But I assure you we have. If we don´t our admirals are even more stupid than we already believe they are. We have three nuclear plants, one of them is taking brazilian style government time to finish. The two that are producing were administered by a crooked admiral. Using the nuke will be like a Monty Python sketch. I pitty the ignorant soldier that will receive an order like this: "Soldier José da Silva! You mission is to get this comissioned hand cart with this big crate and run toward this place on the map asap. Don´t look inside! Pay atention! And soldier João will carry this device with a battery that ha will be requested to be activated once you get there". And boom goes the non voluntary enlisted cannon fodders.
@@DroolingBaby nah, Brazil have no nukes - too expensive to keep, and no targets to point against.
So glad you are giving Brazil some love too ❣️

Look for the Comandos Army, or Comanf, they are the Special Forces of the Brazilian Army and the Brazilian Navy, the best Special Forces that we have.

Yeah! I would definitely recommend you look into G. R. U. M. E. C. operations for the next video about brazillian kick ass troops.
Hey, nice video! Im from brazil, and just to let you know: the camouflage on face like that, in the environment of jungles, its just perfect. Our military change those depending of the terrain. we have a lot of different biomes so there are different camos.
Psiu
we dont use this camouflage in the jungle. the real one is way darker and more "messed".
Finally someone that explained to me clearly how this champion works. Thanks a lot!!
Those People with Blue Berets, were cadets of the AMAN - Academia Militar de Agulhas Negras.
Not Brazilian but it’s really cool seeing you react to a Latin American military video! Can you react to Mexico’s next 👀
Brazil mentioned 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Kkkkk
Os gringos já descobriram isso.
Brazil is a wonderful country and with good people. We are in a constant modification, and with politics transformation. We invite all foreigners to come and enjoy our land ❤
I've never seen this video before, damn this ad goes really hard :0
I am Brazilian and I tell you the truth, the Brazilian army is not even a shadow of the brave warriors who fought in World War II. Our former Minister of the Environment spoke to the generals in Congress, saying that the Brazilian army runs away from war like the devil runs away from the cross. And he spoke the truth.
You should definally take a look at the BOPE especial forces, they are a police tatical team that usually requires a army background to join, they do some really intense inside operations.
Since 2012, Brazilian Armed Forces have been using the Imbel's IA2 assault rifle. There are 556 and 762 versions. Imbel is a Brazilian industry and it's our first 100% national rifle.
I recommend reacting to BOPE next, it's the Brazilian SWAT, but also a little different 😁

Bruh BOPE is the Brazilian SAS, they go to places and situations SWAT teams wouldn't dare to set foot on.

@M_19186 verdade, nem o SAS seriam loucos o suficiente pra fazer o que o BOPE faz.
Na segunda guerra mundial enviamos, apenas 25.000 soldados brasileiros que lutaram na Itália e, ao final dessas batalhas, nosso saldo foi de aprisionamento de 20.000 soldados alemães.
A maior parte deles na Batalha de Collechio-Fornovo. The Collechio - Fornovo battle.
Outro brasileiro aqui! Do Sul do Brasil. Meu estado é o Rio Grande do Sul. Algo meio semelhante ao Texas nos EUA! Muito legal seu interesse por nosso Exército. Sim, é exagerado! Afinal é um marketing. Sobre o uniforme que você achou diferente é o de combatente da caatinga. Um tipo de bioma no nordeste do Brasil. A boina azul a qual te referiu é de veteranos da WWII. E o militar em questão é o Tenente Coronel Nestor Silva. Foi um grande combate da FEB(Força Expedicionária Brasileira). A FEB lutou na campanha da Itália com 25.000 homens como parte do Quinto Exército dos EUA sob o comando do General Mark Clark. No teatro de operações da Itália tombaram 450 militares brasileiros. Ao seu canal o muito obrigado de um brasileiro Segundo Tenente de Cavalaria da reserva. 🫡
Excellent video! I encountered Brazilian military whist serving in UN operations in the Middle East. They are very professional and superbly trained. Brazil can be proud of their men and women in uniform 👍👍👍
Little do they know that when they sign up they become janitors.
Jokes aside, really cool video and its good to see more people talking about our army
If you liked Brazilian Army, look for a special group called GRUMEC - Grupamento de Mergulhadores de Combate (Combat Divers Group in free translation) of our Brazilian Navy. A group of highly trained and skilled of individuals specialized in counterterrorism. I think you'll be amazed!
Esse vídeo eu assisti no Forte de Copacabana no Rio de Janeiro, onde funciona o Museu do Exército. A produção ficou muito boa.
isso mesmo, a realidade é q é uma boa produção
Obrigado por mostrar um pouco das habilidades das nossas tropas do exército eu particularmente tirei meu tempo num batalhão de elite no sul do país por 6 anos pra mim foi gratificante ....
I imagine that the Brazilan army expertise is in jungle warfare and maybe not so much in mountain and winter warfare.
not winter but it has an advanced mountain infantry brigade
Not in winter yet, but we do have special training with 11° mountain brigade. The same unit who went to the Italy campaing in WW2 and Hati in 2004 to 2014
Tropas de inverno realmente não temos, contudo temos tropas especializadas em todos o biomas existentes no Brasil, inclusive tropas de montanha e não somente guerra na selva.
Correct. The really Brazilian army expertise is jungle battles where original people are part of it, CIGS is a special force and is located in Amazon State.
Errado, na vdd todos, no Brasil também neva em alguns lugares do Sul do Brasil, e lá tem brigadas especializadas e batalhas em neve, algumas treinam até em outros países q neva mais, mais sim, na selva somos imbatíveis e no Serrado também
We didn't really fully adopt the ia2, most units use the good old FN fal. There is a variant of the IA2 in .308 aswell
It's slowly being adopted into the military but special forces also use m4's, in law enforcement some guys use the madsen chambered in 7.62x51 if i'm not mistaken, wich is really crazy to see but it's worth a mention nonetheless
The FN MAG in 7.62x51mm as standard support weapon as well
Não viaja cara, já foram encomendados os ia2- 556 e 762 para todos, até para as forças policial esp. Os fal estão sendo aposentados!
There aren't many Madsens in the Military Police as far as I know for a few reasons (logistics, availability, practicality and standardization) but the few that do exist always make the news because of their unusual appearance.

Hello, I served in the Brazilian Army in 1999. It was a great experience in my life, and I learned values that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Fun Fact. Brazilian Military retirees have a per retiree deficit of 158 thousand reais each year paid for by the average taxpayer while this average taxpayer, when he retiers, is about a 9 thousand reais deficit each year. Its a very very nice Military. Just not for the Brazilian taxpayer
The Brazilian Navy also has an TH-cam channel and they made some videos about the navy and marines special forces, I think it would be a cool react for you.
As well as the Brazilian Air Force
5:15 "That is a cool logo [snake smoking]"
During the WW2 people used to mock brazilian army: "it is more likely a snake to smoke than brazilian army to fight"
However, after the liberation of Italy the saying change to: "The snake is smoking"
Glad to see you strong and undrepressed, lad. :)
Greetings from Brazil.
Per Mare, Per Terram ;)
Fun fact: Brazil has the best/most trained military when it comes to jungle combat. Lots of countries come here to train in the jungle. And that face paint disappears in the jungle, you can find pictures of it working as they should. (There's another shade of green they use as well, which is more like "olive green" and in my opinion it blends better with the uniform and the environment)
Let's hope a deep dive within brazilian armed forces and weapons lay ahead in the near future. My suggestion: a video about Brazilian Marines(CFN).
Obrigado por mostrar nossos guerreiros.

Cheers from brazilian infantry! You should definitively check our jungle warfare training in manaus, amazonic rainforest and some of our elite commands, events like CORE are very interesting since a lot of foreign countries take part in exercises.
Imbel IA2 is Brazil's official weapon. National production. This weapon has versions 5.56 and 7.62. It is very resistant to water, forest, desert environments, etc., because Brazil has several biomes. IA2 is a weapon inspired by the AK47, but modern.
Rapaz, achava que ainda era FAL
O problema é que essa arma não é tão boa quanto parece, servi o EB por 4 anos e achava o ia2 uma arma perfeita, ate eu sair e ter a chance de atirar com diversas outras armas fora do país, incluindo a arma que estava sendo estudada junto com o ia2 para a substituição do fal, o Taurus T4(que inclusive foi adotado por outras forças armadas ao redor do mundo, diferente do ia2 que so o Brasil usa essa bomba); e com essa experiência de atirar com diversos outros fuzis, a única conclusão que eu chego é que o EB escolheu o ia2 pelo fato da imbel ser estatal e precisar de motivos para continuar recebendo dinheiro do estado (famoso jeitinho Brasileiro), mas como o pessoal acha que o exército brasileiro é o maior do mundo e nunca erra, tenho ctz que serei atacado por dizer que o exército escolheu mal.
Edit: apenas depois de pedir minha baixa e ter a chance de servir no exterior eu percebi o quão despreparado o Brasil está para uma guerra moderna, existem profissionais de vdd dentro das forças armadas, mas as forças armadas não são profissionais infelizmente, tomam decisões burras e não dão valor real a seus militares, o que é uma pena, pq realmente gostaria de ver o Brasil sendo uma potência militar enorme
@Samuel_Almeida82 Pode falar em português comigo. Sou brasileiro tb. Foi inspirado no AK47 em questão de usabilidade. Em questão de ergonomia foi inspirado no Fal. Mas eu me referi em usabilidade, resistência à intempéries, lama, areia, cadência, multiversão etc. Ambos estamos certos.
The IA2 is based on the FN FAL and NOT on the AK...

Não necessariamente, é claro que no serviço obrigatório grande parte você irá realizar atividades como essa mas isso acontece em quase todo Exército, onde os recrutas realizam atividades de limpeza e manuntenção mas o Brasil ainda sim possui grandes treinamentos em situações de guerra, mas não é todo mundo que vai pegar em um fuzil ou saltar de paraquedas ou realizar operações aeromoveis, etc.

Hello friend, my first time on your channel. I'm Brazilian, not military, but I'm enthusiastic about the topic.
Your approach is really cool, the institutional video is very well designed, I already knew it, naturally.
I'd just like to say that although courage and bravery in combat are essential virtues of any force, I believe that beyond that, in Brazil there is a human value of protection and support (for relief) that inspires us. Since rivalry and conflict aren't in our nature, we can collectively direct our energy toward a parallel principle.
As the army motto suggests, "Strong arm, helping hand", certainly something to be proud of. In addition to honoring our history and our allies.
PS.: I will pay more attention to your general content. Good job friend.
Bring more videos about the Brazilian army
I was brazilian navy soldier "Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais". It is interesting you show this force. Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais is amazing!

@@eliseukrauspenhar3550 O Exército é mais ativo na Amazônia, norte do país.
Former army officer here, did 4 years in an armored unit in Rio Grande do Sul. The main service rifle, at least here in the south, is still the old FN FAL, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, but you can find 5.56mm IA2 rifles in some units, specially officers corps and the academy. Our uniform is patterned after the old BDU, and printed in an older pattern called Lizard or French Lizard pattern, but 2024 is a transition year to a more modern, ACU cut uniform and coyote boots. The sky blue beret shown in the video is assigned to troops in UN peacekeeping missions, while the royal blue beret with the snake badge is a limited use beret for WWII veterans, so it's not widely available. The standard issue berets are OD, black for armored troops and crimson for airborne, as well as a few other special issue colors. Ngl, I miss my army days, but there's just so much to improve. Brazil still uses a conscription based system, so every male citizen has to enlist the year they turn 18 for a compulsory one year service. Most units don't do much more than daily upkeep, and there are a few training exercises every year.
I befriended a guy who goes by Royal Marine on hell let loose I know it wasn't you but it did make me think of you and the dude was just as cool and I enjoyed talking trash about the trash command structure we had in that match lol
Chamou? Brasileiros: presentes!
The Brazilian army's current specialty is curb painting.
for those who dont care about history:
In WW2, brazil once said they would never join the war and said "nem que a cobra fume" with means, not even if the snake smoke. But near the end of the war, the Axis shoot down our ships, so we said "a cobra vai fumar" or, the snake is going to smoke. And now, Brazil has joined the war, and Helped the USA, sending troops and vehicles to them. And as a brazilian... all can i say is: de nada
They are goose stepping, and you don't mention it.
The uniforms of the Brazilian Army changed to another, more modern one and without these rank markings. They are now on the chest of the jacket. The camouflage remains the same. There are also the caatinga troops (a Brazilian biome more like a desert climate with little vegetation, drought), which has khaki and brown tones. The boots changed to green, brown and khaki depending on the type of troop. The standard armament that will replace the FN FAL will be the IMBEL IA-2 in 5.56mm and 7.62mm calibers.
SELVA🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🫡🪖
I am from brazil and I really enjoy this type of content
The IMBEL IA2, in both 5.56 and 7.62, was adopted in 2012 to replace the locally produced FN-FAL versions (still ongoing). The IMBEL MD (96/97)carbines were never adopted for wide service in the army, only on some special groups and police forces.
LMV's, local project Guarani APC's and CENTAURO II tank destroyers are all made by Italian IVECO,

This video was by far the best reaction about our armed forces, you can see the genuineness of his curiosity
or about Brazilian special forces
IMBEL (portuguese for Military Materials Industry [Indústria de Material BELico]) produces a licensed version of the FN FAL and, as of 2014, the IMBEL IA2 carabine and assault rifle that comes in 5.56 and 7.62 respectively. Brasil is so used to the FAL that the IA2 was designed with the FAL magazine in mind.

Our army is very good on painting sidewalks and mowing the lawn
There is this joke about brasilian army's moto "strong arm, friendly hand", that it refers to mutual help in relieving stress, if you catch my meaning. This joke became popular as it was discovered the armed forces were using tax payers's money to buy viagra.
The camouflage on the face and uniform work perfectly in the jungle, day and night. There are a few more things that make it even better.
The propaganda is beautiful, in practice they only paint walls and sidewalks.
I love this video. Since you enjoyed the Brazilian Army's video, I think you might enjoy a video about the Primeira Brigada de Infantaria de Selva - Comando Militar da Amazonia. I was from the Army and I love it wholeheartedly. You're welcome.
