The second batch of UBS EMB-314E (A-29) Super Tucano began a transatlantic flight to Turkmenistan

The second batch of Brazilian Embraer EMB-314E (A-29) Super Tucano turboprop combat trainers has been sent to the Turkmen Air Force. As reported by Revista Forca Aerea magazine, three planes began their flight to Turkmenistan on June 14.

According to the newspaper, on June 14, three Super Tucano flew from the company's airfield in São Jose dos Campos (São Paulo state) for a transatlantic flight to Turkmenistan. Details are not given, it is mentioned that the flight will take place with intermediate landings. In addition to three aircraft for the Air Force of Turkmenistan, the group includes a Super Tucano PT-ZTU demonstrator aircraft. There is no information about his destination.

Like the first batch, the aircraft of the second batch have a standard coloring for the Air Force of Turkmenistan, the markings with military affiliation are covered and signs of temporary Brazilian registration are applied.

The first pair of UBS Embraer EMB-314E (A-29) Super Tucano went to Turkmenistan earlier this month. They were spotted in Malta during a stopover at Luca Airport. There is no official information on the arrival of aircraft in Turkmenistan, since Ashgabat traditionally closes all information on the state of the country's armed forces.

According to available data from open sources, in total, Turkmenistan ordered six EMB-314E Super Tucano UBS, but there is no official confirmation of this information. Rumors of ordering Brazilian planes by the Turkmen emerged after the 2019 Super Tucano was first demonstrated in Turkmenistan during a "surprise readiness check" organized by Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.

I don’t understand one thing - what is the point of reregistering the planes on their own at such a distance across half the world, with intermediate landings, instead of delivering them to the nearest accessible port and transferring them from there to Turkmenistan?

The port infrastructure of Turkmenistan is waiting for the arrival of ships from Brazil ???

Quite slightly different, which does not change the meaning of the content and semantic direction of the message.

Let's compare?

Do you know that Turkmenistan does have ports? I'm even ashamed to ask about Volgo-Don.

Perhaps, but for me, I repeat, not clear such a way of transporting these, in general, small planes.

Once the Austrians threw DA-42 across the Russian Federation on their own to Japan. An-2 was driven from us through Greenland to the USA ... But you never know examples ...

This is a feature of the Brazilians. They always try to overtake planes on their own. Like an additional demonstration of capabilities.

On August 31, 2020, all six EMB-314 (A-29) Super Tucano trainers ordered by the Philippine Air Force in Brazil (registration numbers PT-ZZU, PT-ZZS, PT-ZZN, PT-ZZQ, PT-ZZO and PT- ZZM) flew home.
The planes took off for the Philippines from the volcanic archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, located about 350 kilometers off the northeastern coast of Brazil.

A transcontinental flight is rather a publicity stunt, a demonstration of the aircraft's capabilities!

The Turkmenbashi has his own logic, mortals cannot understand. In general, the East is a delicate matter.

This is the segment of the technology market where we have nothing to offer, because inert views on such technology prevents the realization of the fact that there are no non-salable weapons or equipment, you need to be able not only to create equipment, but also to operate it correctly, and show potential customers so that they firmly decide buy, and from us! And, this means that you need to do it from scratch and by yourself, without any cooperation, which will lead to the emergence of a competitor selling our own idea, but who wants it better than us. Yak130 to us as a reminder of this. ..

In vain they are however. To begin with, I would have learned on Po-2. In 1994, he left them only on the "Sunflower" 218 LA. Of these, 50 - Su-25, most of the MiG-23 of different letters. Sold out or disassembled on the CM. Tucano so toucano, it's good that not an ostrich

They loved two HELLs, and now they will start with the Wright brothers.

Not, but really, the shortest distance from South America to Africa - oh-hoo! Even if you have enough diesel fuel, the pilots should have some asses! Which at the beginning of the flight and which at the end!

Not that much. During WWII, one of the Lend-Lease lines went through South America and Africa. From the archipelago Fernando de Corona to Freetown about 2500 km. Just the ferry range for the Tucano. Vcr ~ 500 km / h.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

In-in! 2500 km at an economical ferry speed. What a fifth point a pilot should have!

Measure the distance from the Fernando de Corona islands to Freetown and see the Toucan's ferry range.

I don’t know the truth, it seems like I have to overcome such a distance with a PTB.

Even closer.

[Wedmak]

And, well, so all the more overpowering. Especially since they fly light ... only fuel to full. Well, maybe the 2nd pilot also captured the comics ....))

[Wedmak]

Why should they fly in the middle of the Atlantic? Quietly through Greenland and Iceland. You don't even have to strain, the main thing is to wait for normal weather in order to at least admire the views.

The reason for the purchase of turboprop Tucano was apparently the impossibility of purchasing the Su-25 from Georgia and the need for subsonic attack aircraft. Georgia supplied Turkmenistan with the Su-25 version of the Scorpion, developed jointly with the Israeli Elbit. But after 08.08.08 the Georgians were left without our engines and sold the entire backlog to the Azerbaijanis. Which, in turn, purchased from us engines for motorization of the Su-25 purchased in varying degrees of readiness from Georgia.

It is strange why the Turkmen did not buy Chinese L-15s, etc., especially since they have the widest military-technical cooperation with the Chinese in Central Asia - ??? ...

[Smirnov Sergey]

It was easier to buy drones from Turkey or Israel - rather small groups of barmaley would have to be driven in the mountains there - it would have been difficult on the L-15. And expensive.

[Smirnov Sergey]

It is a pity that ours offer nothing in this niche.

Not a fact.
I think the cost of equal in terms of carrying capacity, if they are already for sale, the same Turkish drone UAVs, not to mention the more advanced Israeli ones, will be much higher, and there plus more control systems, etc. Plus, the strike UAV still needs a reconnaissance one to help, etc.
So it cannot be argued that UAVs will be more effective in all respects of light Brazilian attack aircraft. Moreover, the latter operate in Afghanistan, where attack UAVs are also used and, most likely, the Turkmens were guided by real experience. Impact UAVs from the Middle Kingdom they have by the way.
