Brazil arming the Castro dictatorship?

Via Capitol Hill Cubans:

Is Brazil Selling Arms to Castro?

It's reprehensible enough that Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff ignored dissidents during her recent trip to Cuba, but selling arms to Castro's military dictatorship would surpass outrage.

From UPI:

Brazil is moving toward implementing plans to develop its defense industry market in Latin America and the Caribbean [...]

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, both outlined a future for Brazil's defense industries that puts emphasis on building regional markets and replacing major international suppliers of aviation and defense inventories.

Rousseff secured partnerships with Cuba to help its sanctions-ridden economy transform itself into a market economy. Close collaboration in aviation, defense and security industries was discussed when the Brazilian president met with Cuban President Raul Castro, Fidel Castro and senior government officials.
