The narrative suggests Brazil’s defense strategy represents self-sufficiency. The data tells a different story — a structural Cascade Failure is forming.
BACKGROUND
The defense sector operates under centralized planning. During 2021–2022, 51% of capacity additions were delayed or cancelled.
THE STRUCTURAL REALITY
72% of funding comes from state-backed debt unserviceable by projected defense revenue, creating a Cascade Failure within 27 years.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Containment is misdirected. The greater threat is internal failure. Western policy should build alternative supply chains.
