The Maxxpros, leopards, strykers, bradlys, and even the challengers failed. Now these tanks are supposed to be ukraine’s last hope?

    No wonder the gringos did all they could to sabotage Engesa. Nowadays, it’d likely work better - if they had a partnership with another bigger power like Pakistan or India did with China and Russia, respectively. Or a government that’s actually interested in self-preservation like the DPRK or Iran.

      unless we had a socialist government, is very unlikely that brazil would sell top notch weaponry to drpk.

      overall i agree, brazil doing defense partnership with global south would be nice

        I didn’t quite mean selling, but learning how to make what we need in-house without relying on others - something DPRK and Iran did. Iran specially has developed a tank named Zulfiqar that’s a lot like the EE-T1.

        But you’re right; we’d need a socialist government for any such events to develop. And for closer ties with the rest of the South.
