Until the late 1960s, Brazil still based its air defense concepts on World War II knowledge, far removed from the realities of that era, in a world plunged into the Cold War. With the introduction of Mirage IIIEBR and DBR, the Brazilian Air Force began a new stage in its mission as guardian of Brazilian airspace. In 1972 the first military supersonic aircraft were put into service in Brazilian skies and with them a whole new conception of interception and aerial superiority.
