I doubt they are being set up to deal with hords of tanks pouring through the Jungle.

My last post was about the new Leopard 1A5s rather than Hinds/AH-2 Sabres.

The first batch of Hinds/AH-2s has been painted up. They will be transferred to a base in the Amazon (Porto Velho, Rondônia) by the end of the year. Their main planned role is to deal with any drug traffickers who spill over into Brazilian territory from Columbia or elsewhere. I haven’t seen any photos of a fully armed AH-2 yet. I’ve seen some artists’ impressions of armed AH-2s on the Web. I don’t know whether they are official or not. They show AH-2s armed with rocket pods.
