New upgrade AMX-30 tanks Venezuelan
New AMX-30V modernization program carried out tank repair company Venezuelan army Centro de Mantenimiento de Blindados (CEMABLIN) in Fuerte Paramakay near Valencia (Carabobo) in cooperation with the Spanish company Star Defence Logistic Engineering LC (SDLE, responsible for the overall project of modernization and systems integration ), an Israeli company Duma Optronics (supplier of electron-optical systems) and the Venezuelan company Venproca CA (supplier of the imported equipment).
In May 2014 the Ministry of National Defence Forces of Venezuela signed a corresponding contract in the amount of $ 80,435,000 for the implementation of the program of modernization of tanks AMX-30V. However, apparently, yet remain modernization work in the design stage.
Coglasno released information, modernization program is mainly to equip tanks AMX-30V today duplicated (commander and gunner) digital fire control system. Additionally, it will be installed electric gun with digital control, digital meteorological sensors-mast, navigation GPS / GLONASS receiver, a new day and night observation device driver, auxiliary power unit capacity of 7 kW and the new tracks. Upgraded tanks AMX-30V will get a new designation AMX-30VE.
According to the contract in 1971 with the French state association GIAT (present company Nexter Systems) Venezuela poluchilav 1972-1974 82 tank AMX-30B and four Armoured Recovery Vehicle AMX-30D based on them. These tanks 40 years formed the backbone of the armored forces of the Venezuelan army, is in service with the 41st Armored Brigade of the 4th Infantry Division in Valencia (rearmed in 2011-2012 Russian tanks T-72B1V then AMX-30 were transferred to the re-formed in 11 Armored Brigade 1st Division).
According to the contract in 1988 worth $ 136 million 81 tank AMX-30B and four ARV AMX-30D have been upgraded to version AMX-30V. The work was originally carried out the Venezuelan machine-building and metallurgical company Metalurgicas Van Dam CA with design and contractor role of the US company Teledyne, however Metalurgicas Van Dam has not coped with the purchase and modernization of tanks already completed the army on CEMABLIN. In the course of modernization of the tanks instead of French engines Hispano-Suiza HS-110 680 hp We received a diesel engine Teledyne Continental AVDS-1790-2C-12-V 750 hp in combination with an automatic transmission Allison CD-850-6A. Israel was established as a fire control system Elbit Systems Lansadot Mk 1, which includes a laser rangefinder and ballistic computer, and introduced a complete stabilization of the gun.

It is sad to see Brazil end the carrier operation. China has a lot to thanks Brazil
Brazil decommissioning its only aircraft carrier, Sao Paulo
Saturday, February 18th 2017 - 07:15 UTC
The São Paulo began life as the French aircraft carrier Foch. It served for 37 years until it was replaced by the nuclear-powered carrier Charles de Gaulle.
São Paulo was meant to replace the carrier Minas Gerais, which was formerly the British Navy's HMS Vengeance and served that country from 1957 to 2001.
Brazil was a mentor to China's fledgling carrier program—in 2009, Brazil agreed to train Chinese navy officers on the São Paulo.
Brazil has decided to permanently sideline its sole aircraft carrier, the flat-top São Paulo. The Brazilian government has said the cost of updating the ship and purchasing new planes was prohibitive and will seek to replace them in the future. The decision underscores the point that aircraft carriers are a rich country's game.
The São Paulo began life as the French aircraft carrier Foch. It served for 37 years until it was replaced by the nuclear-powered carrier Charles de Gaulle. Brazil bought the vessel from the French government in 2000. More than 860 feet long and displacing 32,000 tons fully loaded, the carrier was capable of carrying up to 39 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
Once in Brazilian hands, São Paulo underwent a refurbishment program that included repairs to propulsion, electricity generation, and flight operations equipment. The Brazilian Navy also purchased a fleet of obsolete A-4 Skyhawk jets from Kuwait, and used even more obsolete aircraft on board including the S-2 Tracker and C-1 Trader. There are American designs originally flown from U.S. Navy carriers but retired decades ago. Brazil's Navy also purchased and planned to refurbish six S-70B Seahawk helicopters.
All this sprucing up can't change the fact that São Paulo is now more than 50 years old. According to the Brazilian Navy, it needs another ten years of work at an unknown cost to get moving again and. The service has decided it's just not worth the effort.
Brazil has long been an aircraft carrier power. São Paulo was meant to replace the carrier Minas Gerais, which was formerly the British Navy's HMS Vengeance and served that country from 1957 to 2001. None of Brazil's carriers have ever seen combat. Brazil was one of the few aircraft carrier powers in the Western Hemisphere: aside the United States and Brazil, Canada maintained aircraft carriers until 1970, and Argentina until 1990.
Oddly enough, Brazil was a mentor to China's fledgling carrier program—in 2009, Brazil agreed to train Chinese navy officers on the São Paulo. In 2013, according to the Xinhua state media service, a cadre of Brazilian Navy carrier pilots were training China's People's Liberation Army Navy in carrier flight operations.
