Royal Marine Reacts To The Brazilian ARMY! 

The symbol of the smoking snake is from WWII. Someone said the it would be easier to see a snake smoking than to see Brazil entering in WWII. When Brazilian soldiers were sent to fight in Italy, they decided to put that symbol in their uniforms and they said "A cobra está fumando": "the snake is smoking".

Brazilian president stated in the beggining of WW2 that a snake would smoke a cigar before Brazil goes to war. Then Germany sunk some ships in the brazilian coast and the snake started smoking.

brazilian here, the rifle is the imbel IA2, you may like the caatinga troops for a next reaction

The older soldier in this video is a brazilian WWII veteran

Fun fact. The name of the most popular brazilian sweet, the Brigadeiro, means literally Brigadier. The sweet was created and named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes (he was from brazilian airforce but anyway xD), as a way to support his presidential campain in 1945. He lost the election, but the sweet was a huge success among people since that time.

When the second world war was going on, there was a lot of pressure for Brazil to enter the war. But our leaders didn't want to (we had good relations with Germany) and the Brazilian people would say: it's easier for a snake to smoke a pipe than for us to enter this war. So when Brazil entered the war or military adopted the snake smoking a pipe.

Every time a military man reacts to something military about Brazil I always recommend knowing about the 1st Brazilian Fighter Squadron that fought in WW2 just like someone putted here in the comments, that during WW2 there was a saying that "It's more likely for a snake to smoke a pipe, than for Brazil to go the front and fight", so when Brazil joined the war, their troops became known as "Cobras Fumantes", or "the Smoking Snakes". The Legendary First Aviation Group "Senta a Pua!" (Send a Bullet!) or (Shoot!).

So glad you are giving Brazil some love too ❣️

Min 4:13 If you ever come, it is gonna be a pleasure to welcome a Royal Marine either in Vitoria Island, Espirito Santo State, where I have my estate, or in Rio de Janeiro city, where I am stationed. Words from an Army Captain here Salute ! 🫡 🇧🇷

awesome reaction, you definitly should dive in more brazilian army

Sou mateiro, da tropa de caatinga do Exército Brasileiro, e afirmo Brasil não é para amadores!!! Obrigado, Senhor Deus Porque criastes um ambiente Onde um ser humano comum não possa sobreviver Pois só os perseverantes E os fortes de espírito Aqui conseguem lutar Brasil Caatinga

Brazil uses FN-FAL (556 and 762 variants made by Imbel) and IMBEL IA2 (National Product). M4 and M16 are also used, as well as MP5.

Amazing, you never know that your channel is supported by Brazilians until you say something about Brazil and they start spawning in your comment section

Look for the Comandos Army, or Comanf, they are the Special Forces of the Brazilian Army and the Brazilian Navy, the best Special Forces that we have.

you should check for: - "guerreiro de Selva"/cigs (troop specialised in jungle warfare) - army commandos and (special forces) - navy amphibious commandos (sort of equivalent to navy seals) - navy grumec (usually subaquatic operations) - airbone para-sar (special forces/search and rescue from airforce) - bope as mentioned by everybody basically commandos/special forces of police heavily used in rio de janeiro but other brazilian cities also have similar units - bepi like bope for caatinga a very specific biome which is similar to desert - gate unit specific to sao paulo but very simila to swat

I remember helping you with monitors at your local BestBuy a few years ago, where you used to live in the US. I was the sales guy at the time. I'm originally from Brazil and this video was just randomly recommended to me, super cool to see that you're doing well and producing quality content, keep it up!

As an old Brazilian Navy seaman, I was thrilled by the video and your comments about it, the part that mentioned the WWII brought tears to my as I remembered my grandfather that was with expeditionary force that went to Italy to fight with the allied forces. Awesome video!

Not Brazilian but it’s really cool seeing you react to a Latin American military video! Can you react to Mexico’s next 👀

Finally someone that explained to me clearly how this champion works. Thanks a lot!!

Brazil never started a war, but never lost one either. We've been invaded several times by countries including France and Holland (some may argue we weren't Brazil yet, as it happened before independence, but we were already a mix of Portuguese, Africans and Indigenous, so, true Brazilians in my opinion). We are a pacifist nation, but a fierce defensive power.

Hey, nice video! Im from brazil, and just to let you know: the camouflage on face like that, in the environment of jungles, its just perfect. Our military change those depending of the terrain. we have a lot of different biomes so there are different camos.

Brazil has just like US, an Army, Navy & Air Force, they have a Swat unit as well, have their own Navy Seals in a way called GRUMEC which specializes in Counterterrorism etc. 360k active & 340k reserve, $25 Billion budget, 700 or so total aircraft I believe. Definitely wouldn’t underestimate them, they don’t have nukes but do have the materials to make nukes if need be and they have 134 Naval ships

Those People with Blue Berets, were cadets of the AMAN - Academia Militar de Agulhas Negras.

Brazil mentioned 🇧🇷🇧🇷

I've never seen this video before, damn this ad goes really hard :0

You should definally take a look at the BOPE especial forces, they are a police tatical team that usually requires a army background to join, they do some really intense inside operations.

As a Brazilian i have much pride in our country and military

Força e honra! Jamais duvide de um brasileiro ! Strength and honor! Never doubt a Brazilian!

Since 2012, Brazilian Armed Forces have been using the Imbel's IA2 assault rifle. There are 556 and 762 versions. Imbel is a Brazilian industry and it's our first 100% national rifle.

Brazil is a wonderful country and with good people. We are in a constant modification, and with politics transformation. We invite all foreigners to come and enjoy our land ❤

Sou fuzieleiro naval classe 1 e tenho orgulho de servir minha nação Brasil Acima de tudo!!!!

Na segunda guerra mundial enviamos, apenas 25.000 soldados brasileiros que lutaram na Itália e, ao final dessas batalhas, nosso saldo foi de aprisionamento de 20.000 soldados alemães.

I recommend reacting to BOPE next, it's the Brazilian SWAT, but also a little different 😁

If you liked Brazilian Army, look for a special group called GRUMEC - Grupamento de Mergulhadores de Combate (Combat Divers Group in free translation) of our Brazilian Navy. A group of highly trained and skilled of individuals specialized in counterterrorism. I think you'll be amazed!

I imagine that the Brazilan army expertise is in jungle warfare and maybe not so much in mountain and winter warfare.

for those who dont care about history: In WW2, brazil once said they would never join the war and said "nem que a cobra fume" with means, not even if the snake smoke. But near the end of the war, the Axis shoot down our ships, so we said "a cobra vai fumar" or, the snake is going to smoke. And now, Brazil has joined the war, and Helped the USA, sending troops and vehicles to them. And as a brazilian... all can i say is: de nada

There is this joke about brasilian army's moto "strong arm, friendly hand", that it refers to mutual help in relieving stress, if you catch my meaning. This joke became popular as it was discovered the armed forces were using tax payers's money to buy viagra.

Little do they know that when they sign up they become janitors. Jokes aside, really cool video and its good to see more people talking about our army

O senhorzinho do vídeo é um ex-pracinha, nome que se dá ao soldado que lutou na segunda guerra mundial e cujo lema era: a cobra vai fumar" rs por isso a cobra no simbolo deles. Temos muito orgulho deles mas na época, o presidente da época, apesar das indicações americanas de aproveitar a experiencia de guerra dessa galera, os marginalizou e atualmente é que eles são muito celebrados por nós brasileiros.

If I remember correctly in the German Army in World War II also had their rank on their collar which looked really cool this looks really cool as well

Outro brasileiro aqui! Do Sul do Brasil. Meu estado é o Rio Grande do Sul. Algo meio semelhante ao Texas nos EUA! Muito legal seu interesse por nosso Exército. Sim, é exagerado! Afinal é um marketing. Sobre o uniforme que você achou diferente é o de combatente da caatinga. Um tipo de bioma no nordeste do Brasil. A boina azul a qual te referiu é de veteranos da WWII. E o militar em questão é o Tenente Coronel Nestor Silva. Foi um grande combate da FEB(Força Expedicionária Brasileira). A FEB lutou na campanha da Itália com 25.000 homens como parte do Quinto Exército dos EUA sob o comando do General Mark Clark. No teatro de operações da Itália tombaram 450 militares brasileiros. Ao seu canal o muito obrigado de um brasileiro Segundo Tenente de Cavalaria da reserva. 🫡

Esse vídeo eu assisti no Forte de Copacabana no Rio de Janeiro, onde funciona o Museu do Exército. A produção ficou muito boa.

This video was by far the best reaction about our armed forces, you can see the genuineness of his curiosity

The Brazilian Navy also has an RU-vid channel and they made some videos about the navy and marines special forces, I think it would be a cool react for you.

We didn't really fully adopt the ia2, most units use the good old FN fal. There is a variant of the IA2 in .308 aswell It's slowly being adopted into the military but special forces also use m4's, in law enforcement some guys use the madsen chambered in 7.62x51 if i'm not mistaken, wich is really crazy to see but it's worth a mention nonetheless

"The Snake is going to smoke" means "We are ready to start fighting" in Brazilian portuguese

The uniforms of the Brazilian Army changed to another, more modern one and without these rank markings. They are now on the chest of the jacket. The camouflage remains the same. There are also the caatinga troops (a Brazilian biome more like a desert climate with little vegetation, drought), which has khaki and brown tones. The boots changed to green, brown and khaki depending on the type of troop. The standard armament that will replace the FN FAL will be the IMBEL IA-2 in 5.56mm and 7.62mm calibers.

Brazil ❤❤❤

We Brazilians have the best jungle troops in the world

5:15 "That is a cool logo [snake smoking]" During the WW2 people used to mock brazilian army: "it is more likely a snake to smoke than brazilian army to fight" However, after the liberation of Italy the saying change to: "The snake is smoking"

Obrigado por mostrar nossos guerreiros.

Imbel IA2 is Brazil's official weapon. National production. This weapon has versions 5.56 and 7.62. It is very resistant to water, forest, desert environments, etc., because Brazil has several biomes. IA2 is a weapon inspired by the AK47, but modern.

Pátria Amada Brasil

Thanks a lot for checking us out! o7

I am from brazil and I really enjoy this type of content

Let's hope a deep dive within brazilian armed forces and weapons lay ahead in the near future. My suggestion: a video about Brazilian Marines(CFN).

They excel at uprooting weeds and gardening at their barracks. 😂😂

Former army officer here, did 4 years in an armored unit in Rio Grande do Sul. The main service rifle, at least here in the south, is still the old FN FAL, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, but you can find 5.56mm IA2 rifles in some units, specially officers corps and the academy. Our uniform is patterned after the old BDU, and printed in an older pattern called Lizard or French Lizard pattern, but 2024 is a transition year to a more modern, ACU cut uniform and coyote boots. The sky blue beret shown in the video is assigned to troops in UN peacekeeping missions, while the royal blue beret with the snake badge is a limited use beret for WWII veterans, so it's not widely available. The standard issue berets are OD, black for armored troops and crimson for airborne, as well as a few other special issue colors. Ngl, I miss my army days, but there's just so much to improve. Brazil still uses a conscription based system, so every male citizen has to enlist the year they turn 18 for a compulsory one year service. Most units don't do much more than daily upkeep, and there are a few training exercises every year.

Rapaz ele esta reagindo ao meu pais muito obrigad

Glad to see you strong and undrepressed, lad. :) Greetings from Brazil. Per Mare, Per Terram ;)

Fun Fact. Brazilian Military retirees have a per retiree deficit of 158 thousand reais each year paid for by the average taxpayer while this average taxpayer, when he retiers, is about a 9 thousand reais deficit each year. Its a very very nice Military. Just not for the Brazilian taxpayer

Cheers from brazilian infantry! You should definitively check our jungle warfare training in manaus, amazonic rainforest and some of our elite commands, events like CORE are very interesting since a lot of foreign countries take part in exercises.

I liked the video! There are some in the jungle that are excellent.

Brazil power is size of Italy with alot of modernization going on with bunch of Saab grippen e soon power to recon with

Braço Forte, Mão Amiga...🇧🇷

Chamou? Brasileiros: presentes!

Selva! greetings from a Brazilian Marines, my coleagues and i were lucky to meet some of your people in 2022 when you came to us to train with us in the Special forces called Comandos Anfibios you weren't bad

Bring more videos about the Brazilian army

Brazil in the midia baby🇧🇷🇧🇷

Glad to see you reacting to this video about the brazillian army. We do not have a lot of top of the line equipment, but we are getting there, trough a nacional industry with makes helicopters, guns, missiles, airplanes, ships, submarines, artillery and now supersonic jets (Gripen E-F models from sweden). Our country is gigantic and it is very difficult to defend more than 16,885.7 kilometers of border, but we have great numbers, dedicated people and the will to make our country safe and sovereign. Congratz from Brazil, we are very nice and receptive people, i definitely recommend you come and see it.

You should see they painting the streets like no other army in the world!

O Exército Brasileiro é muito respeitado pelo seu povo. Temos muito orgulho das nossas forças armadas.

SELVA🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🫡🪖

You need to see brazillian Comandos, Forças Especiais, Guerra na Selva or Caatinga. They are the most difficult armies to be a part of as their training is extreme and only the strongest can enter.

Yeah! You should definitely dive in! Cheers

Ah the best tree painters in the world If you need a layer of paint on your sidewalk or cut grass, can the brazilian army

Os melhores soldados do Brasil são do Ceará 😊

Hello friend, my first time on your channel. I'm Brazilian, not military, but I'm enthusiastic about the topic. Your approach is really cool, the institutional video is very well designed, I already knew it, naturally. I'd just like to say that although courage and bravery in combat are essential virtues of any force, I believe that beyond that, in Brazil there is a human value of protection and support (for relief) that inspires us. Since rivalry and conflict aren't in our nature, we can collectively direct our energy toward a parallel principle. As the army motto suggests, "Strong arm, helping hand", certainly something to be proud of. In addition to honoring our history and our allies. PS.: I will pay more attention to your general content. Good job friend.

Um abraço do Brasil. Braço forte, mão amiga

I befriended a guy who goes by Royal Marine on hell let loose I know it wasn't you but it did make me think of you and the dude was just as cool and I enjoyed talking trash about the trash command structure we had in that match lol

Quando descobrir que o EB só serve pra pintar meio fio e prender velhinas com bíblia na mão, a reação dele vai ser rir pra valer

The rifle showed is the IA2, caliber 5.56x45mm (there's a version in 7.62x51 too) produced since 2012.

Hello, im just a random in the BR Army. Explaining a bit about the uniforms: The Iron Blue Beret is mainly for Academy Military / Students, the ones that are still in formation. The rest uses the standart Olive-Green Beret, there are variations as; Red (Grená) for the Paratroopers; Black for the Cavalry (tanks); Light Blue/Sky Blue are the ONU (United Nations Organization), the ones that use this are the ones that went into deployment outside the country working with UNO. Camouflage Beret, for the Jungle troops. Grey Beret, for the Mountain Infantry troops. Beige Beret, for the equivalent to the Airborne's, we call the Aeromóvel. Ultramar-blue Beret, for the Army Aviation. Also, newer standart uniform models have the rank removed from the neck and placed on the chest as you said, and the more formal ones, as you seen with the Social Shirts, still on the Trapezius/above the shoulder region for the Officers, and on Shoulders from Warrant Officers to Soldiers (The enlisted ones). And their Branch on the necks More about the uniforms you can find in our RUE - Regulamento de Uniformes do Exército Brasileiro. Main Weapons: Knife, personal or given by the Army itself Rifle: FN FAL 7,62x51mm Rifle: IMBEL IA2 Both 5,56 NATO or 7,62x51mm - But these are relatively new, substitutes of the Old Belgium rifles and the newer models made by IMBEL TOO. Pistol: Mainly the original Berretta M9 or the ones made by IMBEL, same model And many more, like FN MAG Machine gun, 7,62x51mm Mortars, missile launchers, Shotguns, grenade launchers, etc etc etc.

They are goose stepping, and you don't mention it.

The Brazilian army's current specialty is curb painting.

The logo is of a snake smoking. When things get serious, we use the expression 'the snake will smoke'.

Our army is excellent and highly prepared for different kinds of environments.

The IMBEL IA2, in both 5.56 and 7.62, was adopted in 2012 to replace the locally produced FN-FAL versions (still ongoing). The IMBEL MD (96/97)carbines were never adopted for wide service in the army, only on some special groups and police forces. LMV's, local project Guarani APC's and CENTAURO II tank destroyers are all made by Italian IVECO, MBT's are german Leopard 1A5. Howitzers are american M109, AAA are Guepards, MRLS are multi purpose munitions compatible ASTROS 2020. helicopters HA-1 Esquilo, HM-1 Panther, HM-2 Black Hawk, HM-3 Cougar, HM-4 Jaguar and Eurocopter EC 725 Caracal.

A maior força armada de funcionários públicos federais do Brasil 😆

or about Brazilian special forces

I'm also not really sure if the face paint would work as camouflage, since the amazon rainforest is really dense, I'd love to see it in action tho

that's important to say that the old man that appeared in the footage is a WW2 veteran, known in Brazil as "pracinha". Yes, come to visit Brazil. It worths!

The propaganda is beautiful, in practice they only paint walls and sidewalks.

Vida longa aos BRICS 🇧🇷🇷🇺🇧🇷🇷🇺

the weapon now is the IMBEL IA2 5.56mm, there's a 7.62mm version but I don't remember if it is already in operation

Several army units still uses Imbel FAL MD-1 (7,62) and FAL MD2 (paratrooper version in 7,62 and 5,56).The IA-2 is gradually replacing the old FAL rifles.

I lovin , good vídeo.❤

The rifle is the Imbel IA2, there is two versions, combat using 5,56 and the war version, shooting 7,62. I shooted the 556 when o served. Its kind heavy, but it helps to reduce de recoil. Not the best rifle, but never had a malfunction, with over 300 shoots.

Deixe a opção legendas para vários países! Grato!

Former Lieutenant here. In the north-east reagion where I served my time (caatinga region), we didn't had access to IA2, instead we used a 762 FN FAL (which I prefer) as main rifle and a 9mm Beretta as main pistol for officers (still prefer my personal piece, a Glock G17) With the years the weaponry is being renewed, mostly by weapons produced by Taurus which to develop the national industry.
