Astros II

The Astros II was a Brazilian missile defense system developed in the 1980s to protect against aerial threats like aircraft and missiles. It used a combination of radar and command systems to detect targets and guide missiles to intercept them mid-air. Based on some military technology from Italy and France, it was designed for mobile deployment, allowing quick setup for defense zones. While effective in its time, it has since been replaced by more advanced systems, but it played a significant role in Brazil’s military modernization efforts during that era.
