In 2015, the budget of the Brazilian Ministry of Defense was reduced by 24.8%. Some major programs were suspended, and others suffer significant delays.
The submarine construction site of the complex of Itaguaí (RJ), recently inaugurated by President Dilma Rousseff, was to begin its activities in November. The date was pushed back to October 2016.It lacks many amenities in the main workshop of the site (where the President was photographed), and all support facilities: specialized offices, storage sheds, the refectory, the locker room and the infirmary.
Scorpene submarines
The delivery of the first of the series, the Riachuelo, has already been delayed two occasions, in 2017 and in 2018. It is now expected in 2019 or early 2020.A source of the navy, this delay will affect the construction of No. 2, the Humaitá, whose construction has already begun to Itaguaí.
Generally, this is all Itaguaí installations whose plans are reviewed. For example, the magnitude of the naval base was reduced.

A delay also for the modernisation of the CV Sao Paulo.

Which will in turn...I am sure, also negatively impact the SSN, which was supposed to start construction in 2017 and be complete in 2025. Now it is probably also going to be delayed another two years?
has handed the Brazilian Navy the first of 12 modernised AF-1B intercept and attack jets through a programme aimed at extending the service life of the carrier-based aircraft through to 2025.
Renamed AF-1 by Brazil, the A-4 Skyhawks were purchased from in the late 1990s and are now being upgraded with new computer and radar systems as well as improved communications equipment and weapons. AEL Sistemas, a local subsidiary of Elbit Systems, is replacing the analog panels in the cockpit with glass displays.
“This equipment, along with the structural work that was performed, will make it possible for these jet fighters to continue operating until 2025,” Embraer said in a May 27 announcement. “Embraer’s modernisation programme also includes supplying briefing and debriefing stations that are already being used for the training and proficiency of pilots of the VF-1 Falcão Squadron in order to improve their use, reduce costs, and to bring greater effectiveness to mission planning and execution.”
Embraer received a contract to extend the life of the dozen subsonic combat jets in 2009 – nine single-seaters and three tandems – and the final delivery date has since shifted from 2015 to 2017.
“This is the first contract for systems integration that we have signed with the Brazilian Navy and, therefore, is a landmark in our relations,” says Embraer Defense and Security president Schneider. “The modernisation of the AF-1 was a significant technological challenge, since it is a platform that we did not develop. Nevertheless, we were able to deliver a solution that fully meets the operational needs.”
Fleet Admiral Eduardo Bacellar Leal Ferreira of the Brazilian Navy described the AF-1 upgrade as a forward leap in combat capability. The aircraft were built in the late 1970s.
The delivery comes amid a period of economic uncertainty in Brazil that could see the government cut spending on the and aircraft modernization efforts. Embraer is involved in both projects and is worried the work might be terminated prematurely
