In Speech on Army Day, General Tomás Paiva Highlighted the Evolution of Global Geopolitics, the Advancement of Military Modernization, and the Defense of the Constitutional Role of the Troops

During the ceremony in honor of Army Day, held this Wednesday (16) at the Army Headquarters in Brasília, the Army Commander, General Tomás Ribeiro Paiva, gave a speech highlighting changes in the international scenario. The event was attended by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), who, as in the previous year, did not speak.

Defense Investment: Global Transformations

General Paiva drew attention to the rapid transformation of global geopolitics. According to him, there is a significant increase in defense investments by various countries, requiring strategic attention from Brazil.

“By turning our gaze to the international scenario, we can verify that the world is undergoing a rapid and profound transformation in its traditional geopolitical structures. Defense investments are growing exponentially in all regions of the globe, a reality that suggests our country should pay heightened attention to the protection of Brazilians and the assets enshrined by the Constitution,” he stated.

The general also mentioned new equipment acquired by the force, such as ground surveillance radars, anti-tank missiles, and armored vehicles. For him, these advancements represent a necessary modernization process.
