The Brazilian arms industry continue to make business around the world. In a recent statement, its government informed that despite recent claims over the nationality of terrorist in the Mumbai attack, Brazil would continue to do business with Pakistan. It will sell 100 missiles as it only deals with the official Pakistani government.

Brazil's Chamber of Foreign Trade has announced that it will equip Pakistani aircraft with about 100 missiles with significant capabilities. The Pakistani government and the Brazilian Air Force have agreed on a deal to fit Pakistan's jet fighters with missiles capable of detecting and destroying radars, Xinhua reported Tuesday. "It's a very effective tool, which monitors land from airspace, locates and destroys if an order is given," Brazil's Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said. The 85-million euro military accord will go according to plan despite recent violence in Mumbai, India. The Minister noted, "I do not know whether the terrorists (involved in the Mumbai bombings) are Pakistanis, but the business we are doing is with the (Pakistani) government, not with terrorists."
