Brazil One step away from sovereignty

[BrazilianPatriot]

Brazil is developing a nuclear submarine and already masters uranium enrichment technology.


Given Brazil's size, resources and regional position, could a nuclear deterrent eventually become part of its long-term strategic debate?


Or would the diplomatic and economic costs of breaking the non-proliferation regime outweigh the strategic benefits?

Brasil doesn’t really have any enemies.But the real gist of the matter here is being able to have access to nuclear power and nuclear technology, through which they intend to manufacture their own mini nuclear reactors to use in nuclear submarines.
They have a huge country and a long shoreline to protect. They have a good, established aircraft industry. Already producing/assembling/designing Gripen E fighter jets in cooperation with Sweden. Until recently they have been buying the second hand Carriers and LHDs from UK and France. I guess in time they will be building their own Nuclear Powered Carriers.
