72 sound correct. That would give them 6 squadrons of 12 aircraft. Having one aircraft type to replace three (now two since the Mirage 2000s are decommissioned) will help tremendously with logistics.
Don’t forget that the navy will probable order 24 for the carrier.
Wouldn't those 24 be in addition to the 72?

Yes that was what is what I meant. Thank you for clarifying

To fulfill the contract fully, Avibrás, now facing economic difficulties, has installed a technical team and local offices in Jakarta, all of which can be rescinded

The Brazilian Air Force flight training takes 8 MI-35M in formation
(Defensa.com) Completed recently delivering the last 3 copies of the batch of 12 acquired in 2009, the Brazilian Air Force decided to conduct a demonstration with 8 units in formation from the northern AFB Porto Velho on that city and part Amazon territory they cover. This flight to Porto Velho shows the operation of the unit, which despite being the first of the FAB in operating a Russian helicopter can put two thirds of the fleet in flight at the same time proving that it is able to maintain and operate this helicopter attack and close air support.
These MI-35M (locally AH-2 Sabre) acted to protect airspace for the parties of the recent World Cup. Also participating in exercises like night shots of weapons in Serra do Cachimbo. Each AH-2 carries a 23 mm cannon capable of firing up to three thousand rounds a minute. To get a rough idea, every shot 23mm has the same effect of about 100 shots from a gun 7.62mm, as FAL rifles used by the troops on the ground. The barrel of the AH-2 is located in a mobile turret, allowing the helicopter can shoot targets from the front or side while away. The Sabre can also carry up to 60 80mm rockets eight air-to-ground missiles.
Made in Russia, these helicopters are flown by two pilots: back in the cockpit, called the first driver is responsible for the flight; front, sits the POSA (Pilot Weapons System Operator) in addition to fire, controls the cameras used in the selection system, both day and night. A mechanic also accompanies the missions in the cockpit with seating for eight.
With 12-ton helicopters have armor in key parts such as the fuel tank. The cockpit also armored, also insulates if biological or chemical contamination. Other Russian models such as the Mi-28N "Havoc" or KA-52 Alligator will be evaluated in a few months by the Brazilian Army Aviation Brigade for as attack vectors.

Saab selects AEL Systems as a supplier of Gripen NG Brazilian
(Defensa.com) AEL Sistemas will provide Wide Area Display (WAD), presented in a widescreen Fidae 2014, and Head-up Display (HUD) to integrate the Gripen NG acquired by Brazil as part of the contract FX-2. The development of WAD and HUD has already begun in January. Saab and AEL also signed a technology transfer agreement.
This new avionics program will run over four years and includes the development, integration and production of the device from Porto Alegre .The system integration will take place between Saab and Embraer. The WAD for aircraft Gripen NG Brazil presents a single intelligent multifunction display with fully redundant capacity and color images, 19x8-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, with continuous slideshow and touch screen controls last generation. This is the main source of information for flight and mission cockpit for the pilot.
AEL also develop the new HUD for Gripen NG Brazilian fighters. Provides essential for flight and mission pilot information, expanding their field of vision from the cockpit. A wide flight test campaign will be conducted in cooperation with AEL on the premises of Saab in Linköping, Sweden.
The application of WAD by the FAB require changes in the fuselage and adaptations in the avionics system of the aircraft, as well as the interface between man and machine. The new display optimizes the presentation of high-resolution images, allowing resizing and configuration screens through movements with the touch of a finger (touch screen). Software applications are designed to be used in the same way as existing smart phones (Desktop Conception), facilitating manipulation of the data from the various sensors of the aircraft.
The result is that the merger and integration of data is presented in a unique visual environment (display only). These features increase the ability of simultaneous participation of air and ground targets, simplifying the process and pilot decision making while increasing the efficiency and accuracy in the operations of the aircraft.

The Brazilian Navy satellite communications systems installed in their ocean patrol
(Defensa.com) The Communications and Information Technology Navy (DCTIM) concluded in mid-February, the installation of the first Naval Mobile Terminal, those for Ocean Patrol Vessels (NPaOc) of Class Amazonas, in the P-122 "Araguari". He thus became the first unit of its kind to receive a satellite communications system. This system will allow for long periods at sea, access to the Integrated Communications Network Navy through the System of Military Satellite Communications.
The process of installing it on board the "Araguarí" insumió ten business days, shipping a native officer telecommunications sector Corps of the Navy and a junior specialist. It is estimated that before the second half of this year may already be installed satellite terminals in the other two Class patrol vessels Amazon, the P-120 "Amazon" and the P-121 "Apa"

Azerbaijan will manufacture the new Brazilian Light Anti-tank Weapon
(Defensa.com) According to Azerbaijaini Armed Forces (UTAG), quoted by the Brazilian Air & Naval Defesa site, Azerbaijan plans to produce in its territory Weapon Light Anti Cart (ALAC), a centralized system in lanzacohete inspired by the AT- 4. The respective agreement could be announced in Rio de Janeiro during the next edition of LAAD, in April, when the defense ministers of this country Yaver Yamalov- and Brazil, Celso Amorim, during the shows are.
Yamalov said in an interview with the ANS television network, which "is being negotiated" with the Brazilian Armed Forces and the company Gespi joint production of an anti tank system, a clear reference to ALAC. He also announced the upcoming arrival to Baku from a Brazilian delegation to negotiate in this regard, as well as its intention to confirm these developments in April and in Brazil "during an international exhibition of weapons, during which the relevant documents will be signed." So far, this nation Caucasus used RPG-7 rocket launchers Bazalt and KBP Kornet missiles and Rafael Spike LR with regard to anti-tank equipment.
Gespi, co-shared with Rafael (40%) and Dynamit Nobel, is delivering the first batch of 180 units antitank Light Weapon (ALAC), inspired by the AT-4 with thermobaric head and carbon fiber tube, developed in some respects together with IMBEL, provider of propellant used in these weapons. In the factory IMBEL Picket warhead probably thermobaric, and explosive occur while Gespi will handle the launch tube, fiberglass and carbon.
The ALAC fires 84 mm ammunition, armor piercing up to 30 cm and detonate ammunition that can reach temperatures up to 1000 ° C. It is a disposable and inexpensive weapon, equivalent to date of the AT-4 Swedish versions. Shutter mechanism is fully mechanical and safety devices has three preventing accidental actuation thereof. Shooting from the shooter's shoulder, and can be adapted for use on light vehicles. Its normal maximum range is 300 meters, which could increase slightly.
Gespi Aeronautics, São José dos Campos, specializing in usinated, test, as well as the maintenance and repair of aviation turbine (T56, T58, J52, JT3D among others), developed with the Army Brasieño Technology Center (CETEX ) this Livian antitank weapons whose export is negotiated for several months, also interested countries in the Middle East, Africa and Andean America. Future anti anti warheads bunker and SE evaluate reactive armor
