The Brazilian Marine Corps wants to replace its ageing SK105A2S Kürassier light battle tank fleet with a new main battle tank (MBT) by 2032, Commander of the Marine Material Command Vice Admiral Rogério Ramos Lage told Janes. The MBT project, part of the Marine Corps Combat Power Strategic Program (PROADSUMUS), aims to significantly increase the firepower of the marine air-ground task forces, Vice Adm Lage said in an October interview. He said 8×8 and tracked options, or a fleet of both configurations, are being considered. Of the 17 SK105A2S Kürassier tanks purchased for the Marine Armoured Battalion of the Marine Fleet Force (FFE) in 1998, approximately half remain in active service, Vice Adm Lage said. While High-Staff Requirements and High-level Systems Requirements are being developed, approximately 17 MBTs could be acquired, Vice Adm Lage added. A schedule to formally issue a tender or award a contract is yet to be defined. 21 November 2023

The Brazilian Marine Corps is looking to acquire 8×8 wheeled amphibious armoured vehicles in several variants to replace its fleet of AAV7A1 Assault Amphibious Vehicles (AAVs), Vice Admiral Rogério Ramos Lage, Commander of the Marine Materiel Command, told Janes recently. The project, part of the Marine Corps Combat Power Strategic Subprogram, would modernise the Amphibious Vehicles Battalion, Vice Adm Lage said in an October interview. The last of the current fleet of BAE Systems-designed AAV7A1 vehicles was delivered in 1997. The marines have already laid out the High-Staff Requirements and High-Level Systems Requirements of the 8×8 project, and a preliminary study is being carried out, Vice Adm Lage said. Brazil is considering the 8×8 BAE Systems Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV), among others, to meet its requirements, he added. Between 1986 and 1997, 26 AAV7A1 vehicles – 22 troop carriers, two command vehicles, and two recovery vehicles – were delivered. 21 November 2023

SEOUL, Nov. 21 (Yonhap) -- The Marine Corps said Tuesday it has staged major amphibious assault drills, mobilizing thousands of troops, landing ships and helicopters, amid efforts to hone readiness against North Korean military threats. Some 3,400 Marines and over 30 amphibious assault vehicles are taking part in the six-day drills that began Friday in Pohang, 262 kilometers southeast of Seoul, according to the Marine Corps. On Tuesday, the troops held the "decisive action" phase of the exercise, which proceeded with amphibious assault drills in a coastal area with landing ships, transport aircraft and helicopters as naval warships and attack helicopters provided cover. The Marine Corps said more than 10 naval ships took part in the exercise, including the ROKS Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin destroyer, to enhance joint operational capabilities. The drills took place in connection with the South Korean military's annual Hoguk defense drills, which kicked off on Oct. 16 and is set to end Wednesday.
