Symmetry is one of the elements that I like to see in images. One night at the Anapolis Air Base, there was an E reconnaissance aircraft, manufactured by Embraer, parked in front of its hangar. It was standing exactly in line with the two adjacent hangars. Those hangars were occupied by two other aircraft. The scene was completely perfect. I positioned my ashes, climbed a ladder and photographed it.

The second Riachuelo-class (Scorpene-type) submarine ‘Humaitá’ was launched on 11 December 2020 by local shipbuilder Itaguaí Construçoes Navais (ICN).
The event also celebrated new successful steps forward for all Scorpene submarines of the PROSUB Program currently built by ICN thanks to a transfer of technology and production from French shipbuilder Naval Group.
Brazilian Air Force Receives Second C-295 SAR Aircraft -
The Brazilian Air Force (Força Aérea Brasileira, FAB) has taken delivery of a new SC-105 (the local designation for C295) maritime search-and-rescue (SAR) aircraft from Airbus Defence and Space at a handover ceremony in Seville, Spain. The new aircraft is the second unit from an order of three that were placed on order by the Air Force in 2014 at a total contract cost of $215.1 million. The aircraft is the first to have a fixed air-to-air refuelling probe.

The mission systems and related subsystems, including electronic warfare, command and control, electronic countermeasures, and aerial surveillance radar were updated as part of the modernization process, expanding FAB’s capacity to carry out Flight Control and Alarm missions and Electronic Reconnaissance, among others.

Embraer Delivers Fourth KC-390 Airlifter to Brazilian Air Force -
Embraer delivered the fourth C-390 Millennium multi-mission medium airlifter of a total of 28 units to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Like the three units already in operation, the fourth airlifter will be operated by the First Troop Transport Group (1st GTT). All 28 aircraft ordered by FAB are equipped to perform aerial refueling missions, with the designation KC-390 Millennium.The C-390 Millennium and the designation KC-390 Millennium fly faster and carry more cargo than other military freighters of the same, size and are the ideal platforms for the main mission scenarios. The aircraft require fewer on-demand inspections and maintenance, combined with highly reliable systems and components, which reduces the time on the ground and overall operating costs, contributing to excellent availability levels and low life-cycle costs.
