Ukraine intends to purchase EMB-314 Super Tucano turboprop attack aircraft
According to the portal, a delegation of the Ukrainian Air Force, led by their commander, Colonel General Sergey Drozdov, arrived in Brazilian Sao Paulo, where she held talks with the leadership of the military division of the Brazilian company Embraer. The negotiation issue is the possibility of acquiring the Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano turboprop combat training aircraft.
It is reported that the commander in chief of the Ukrainian Air Force flew on an A-29 (EMB-314 Super Tucano) aircraft from the 3rd squadron of the 3rd aviation Brazilian Air Force groups at Campo Grande airbase.
The details of the negotiations were not disclosed, however, it is known that Ukraine intends to purchase aircraft through the United States and through American funding under the same program under which these aircraft were delivered to Afghanistan, Lebanon and Nigeria.
According to Brazilians, Ukraine considers Super Tucano aircraft as a fairly cheap and affordable version of a combat aircraft against the backdrop of more expensive American and European aircraft for the use of aircraft in the demarcation zone in the Donbass. At the same time, it is assumed that before delivery the aircraft will be partially modernized for the use of Soviet-style ammunition, as well as equipped with modern electronic equipment, which would make it possible to use them in the conflict zone.
The number of aircraft that Ukraine intends to acquire is not reported.
