A silent movement is transforming more than one million hectares of degraded lands in the Cerrado into a 2,600-kilometer biodiversity corridor along the Araguaia River, according to the Black Jaguar Foundation, which coordinates the project in Brazil.
In the operation, two other Navy vessels were used, the Helicopter Carrier Atlântico and the landing ship Almirante Saboia.
Support for the operation was provided by the patrol vessel Amazonas, from the 1st Naval District in Rio, by Super Cougar aircraft, and by the Seahawk from the Naval Aviation Command.
The Missile
The Mansup will be a missile against surface targets at sea and is being developed by the Brazilian Navy together with the companies Avibrás, Siatt, Omnisys, and the Ezute Foundation.
Many highly skilled jobs have been created since the conception to the launch of the missile, and according to the Brazilian Navy, the project aims to ensure the maintenance of Naval Power and sovereignty, as well as to position Brazil among a select group of countries that develop their own missiles.
