The Contingency Announced by the Federal Government in the Armed Forces Affected the Navy More, Which Has Important Projects Like the Construction of the Corvettes in Itajaí (SC) and Submarines in Itaguaí (RJ)

The Director of Projects of the Brazilian Navy, Vice Admiral Petronio Augusto Siqueira de Aguiar, assured on the morning of this Thursday (05/16) that the budget contingency announced by the federal government will not affect the progress of the project for the construction of four Navy ships in Itajaí.
The director’s statement to Santa Catarina entrepreneurs, during the meeting of the Defense Industry Committee (Comdefesa) of Fiesc, was necessary after the government announced a 44% budget contingency for the armed forces, which also impacts projects of the FAB and the Army.

Navy More Impacted

He also confirmed that the funds that would be used for the construction of the Corvettes in Itajaí, around R$ 2.5 billion, are contingent, but he believes this will be reversed in the second semester due to the extreme need for modernization of the fleet by the Brazilian Navy.
The other Brazilian ships of the class (Corvettes) have 36 years of use, while the global average is 30 years.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
