shiningfractalTo adjust the calculations for 10,000 soldiers and scale the operation, here's how the cost would look in terms of equipment, wages, and other necessary expenses:
Breakdown of Costs
1. Soldiers' Wages (Annual Cost):
As previously established, a Brazilian soldier costs approximately R$ 45,000 per year.
- 10,000 soldiers × R$ 45,000 = R$ 450,000,000 (Total cost for salaries).
2. Equipment for the Operation:
- 40 helicopters:
The cost of one helicopter (light or medium-class) can range from R$ 10 million to R$ 30 million, depending on the model.
- Average price for 40 helicopters: 40 × R$ 15 million = R$ 600,000,000.
- 1 Ship:
A medium-sized transport vessel could cost between R$ 200 million to R$ 500 million depending on size and specifications.
- Average price for a ship: R$ 350,000,000.
3. Military Base Construction (Temporary Infrastructure):
- 20 Bases: The cost to build a military base in a temporary environment (including modular housing, facilities, and command centers) could be estimated at around R$ 50 million per base for basic infrastructure.
- 20 × R$ 50 million = R$ 1,000,000,000.
4. Operational Costs (Logistics, Maintenance, Fuel, etc.):
- 10,000 soldiers: Additional operational costs like fuel for helicopters, vehicles, food, medical, maintenance, and supply chains would be significant. A rough estimate for operational logistics is about R$ 30,000 per soldier annually.
- 10,000 soldiers × R$ 30,000 = R$ 300,000,000.
Total Estimated Cost for the Operation:
1. Salaries: R$ 450,000,000
2. Helicopters: R$ 600,000,000
3. Ship: R$ 350,000,000
4. Military Base Construction: R$ 1,000,000,000
5. Operational Costs: R$ 300,000,000
Total Cost = R$ 2,700,000,000 (R$ 2.7 billion).
Estimated Return and Impact:
The return on such an operation would come from strategic benefits like increased influence, access to resources, and international support, but the direct monetary ROI (return on investment) would be harder to quantify. However, it could lead to potential revenue in future years from resource extraction, political alliances, and increased trade opportunities.
Summary of Costs for 10,000 soldiers:
- R$ 2.7 billion would be the estimated cost for a one-year operation involving 10,000 Brazilian soldiers, including helicopters, ships, military bases, and operational costs.
