July 28
According to some sources around 72 M108(Spg) are in service of Brazilian army and at the same time according to some other sources it's completely retired from service.

Anti-tank weapons
I've removed unsourced numbers and the Javelin, Eryx, Milan and MSS from this list. I'd be eager to see more information on the Eryx and Milan. Serraria (talk) 02:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * SPIKE launchers will only enter service from 2024 onwards.
 * The Javelin's source only proves the State Department's approval for a possible sale. There is zero evidence the deal was finalized and the weapons were delivered and entered service. You will never find it photographed in Brazilian service. Back then, Congressional opposition to this sale was reported. Since August 2022, there have been no further news on this topic. It's fair to assume that failed, shelved or abandoned negotiations don't make the news. Therefore, until further information appears, Brazil owns 0 Javelins.
 * It's hard to find evidence of the ALAC after 2016.
 * The Eryx and Milan have been retired, though admittedly the only source on this, dating from 2021, is weak from Wikipedia's standpoint. In fact, they're an obscure topic and there are few sources even from when they were in service. This Army study from 2021 claims the Milan is still in service with paratroopers, but then interviews 33 of them and 97% reply they've never seen it! The remaining 3% said they've handled, but never operated it. The respondents belonged to several ranks, including colonels, so those 3% are likely older servicemen. In any case, there will never be an official source explaining when the Eryx and Milan were retired. The IISS's The Military Balance still lists them in service, and might still list them 100 years from now because they're waiting for news that will never come.
 * The MSS-1.2 is four decade old vaporware. Some units have been used for testing, but as of 2023 it isn't in service.
