Brazil implemented a project to build nuclear submarines

The Brazilian government has begun deploying a submarine construction program, including a nuclear powered submarine.

With the program to buy new submarines, Brazil will become the most powerful military nation in South America. The plan to buy new Brazilian submarines was announced in 2008.

Brazil will become the seventh country in the world to own nuclear submarines.

The partner of Brazil's submarine construction is France, worth US $ 565 million / vehicle. The first submarine in this project will be completed in 2016.

After the project is completed, Brazil will have four more standard submarines and a nuclear power submarine model. Brazil will also become the seventh country in the world to own nuclear submarines.

Former Brazilian president, Luiz Inacio 'Lula' da Silva, who proposed the program, said the submarine was essential, helping Brazil to protect its oil resources and oil rigs offshore. In addition, submarines also play an important role in Brazil's maritime security.
