BRAZIL - Acquires Israeli Spike LR2 Missiles
Amid mounting regional tensions, Brazil has upgraded its military arsenal by acquiring Israeli Spike LR2 missiles.
This strategic military enhancement coincides with escalating border disputes involving Venezuela and Guiana, fueled by the aggressive postures of Venezuela’s authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro.
This hardware aims to boost Brazil’s deterrence capabilities, especially in Roraima, a state marked by its strategic importance.
Concurrently, Brazil has invested in 36 self-propelled howitzers, further solidifying its commitment to robust defense mechanisms.
Equipped to operate nationwide, this brigade has recently conducted tests with a new missile system, emphasizing its readiness and operational flexibility.
This decisive move by Brazil underscores the nation’s strategic military planning amidst a complex geopolitical landscape.
It highlights Brazil’s efforts to maintain sovereignty and peace within its borders and the broader South American region.

Arno's Commentary
When it comes to defense, Israel is second to none. They have the best of the best.
The Lord Jesus declared: “But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Luke 21:9-10). In the end, however, all global military forces will be annihilated, and Isaiah 2:4 will be fulfilled: “And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
