    Big month for the Super Tucano

    July 2024 turned out to be an excellent month for Embraer’s Super Tucano, since, in addition to the sale of six planes to Paraguay, it was also announced that negotiations with Uruguay (another six units) and Portugal (A-29N as for “NATO”) are at a very advanced stage, and the signing of the respective contracts is “just around the corner”.

    The A/T-29 Super Tucano is a robust, cost-effective, modern and highly flexible aircraft that can perform training, counterinsurgency, close air support, armed reconnaissance, interdiction and air policing missions, among others. Being able to perform many missions with the same platform is undeniably attractive to Air Forces that need to fulfill their obligations while keeping their budget in check..
