The Brazilian MoD is reassessing a cancelled presidential order that would have allowed the army to operate an air arm.
Decree No. 10,386 was intended to meet the operational needs of the army. It was signed by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on 2 June but was withdrawn three days later, amid strong complaints from the Brazilian Air Force.
With this withdrawal, the previous Decree No. 93,206, issued in September 1986, was reactivated. It authorised the creation of an army aviation branch but stated that the ground force can only operate ‘helicopters necessary for the fulfilment of its mission'.

An evolution of the Tekever AR3, the AR3 EVO that broke cover at DSEI incorporates the thousands of incremental evolutions the company has implemented through its spiral development, geared towards delivering a constant stream of improved aircraft to Ukraine.
The new capabilities are based on platforms already in use or in development, and are designed to perform in demanding defence missions.
In an era of rapidly evolving threats, where drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic salvos redefine the battlefield, IAI‑ELTA Group stands at the forefront with its revolutionary radar technology. At the heart of this technological leap lies the ELM-2084 Multi‑Mission Radar (MMR) and its latest evolution, the Multi‑Sensor MMR (MS-MMR).
The consortium, known as G2E, is formed of four leading national defence electronics companies: Mitsubishi for Japan, Leonardo UK for the UK and both Leonardo and ELT Group for Italy.
The uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) will start off in the electronic warfare space, according to the companies, to support existing crewed frontline platforms, with many major details still to be disclosed.
The British-built long-range strike one-way effector (OWE) is the latest offering from the company, which demonstrated its smaller OWE SkyShark in July.
