With the Deactivation of AMX Fighters in Italy and Brazil, the Possibility Arises That These Aircraft Could Be Sent to Ukraine, Intensifying Italian Support for the Country in Conflict with Russia and Highlighting the Complex Geopolitical Dynamics Involved.
The AMX fighters, known for their capabilities in attack and reconnaissance, have been a key component in the air forces of Brazil and Italy. With the announcement of their deactivation in Brazil and Italy, according to the portal Airway, speculation arises about the fate of these aircraft, particularly concerning Italy’s support for Ukraine amid the conflict with Russia.
Known for their robustness and versatility in adverse conditions, the AMX fighters were developed through an Italian-Brazilian collaboration. However, with technological advancements and the arrival of newer, more modern fighters, both Italy and Brazil are planning to retire them. The deactivation raises an important question: what will happen to these aircraft?
While Brazil Maintains a More Neutral Stance in the Conflict Between Russia and Ukraine, Italy Has Clearly Expressed Support for Ukraine
While Brazil maintains a more neutral stance in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Italy has clearly expressed support for Ukraine. Recently, Italy considered sending additional military equipment, including anti-aircraft batteries, according to ANSA Brasil. With the deactivation of the AMX fighters, the possibility arises that these could also be offered to Ukraine. Although the AMX is not comparable in performance to more modern fighters, its ability to conduct precise attacks is still valued.

Potential Sending of AMX Fighters to Ukraine by Italy Could Mean an Escalation in Italian Involvement
The potential sending of AMX fighters to Ukraine by Italy could signify an escalation in Italian involvement in the conflict, heightening the already existing tensions with Russia. This also places Brazil in a delicate position within the BRICS group, given Russia’s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict.
Even though there are no official confirmations regarding the sending of AMX fighters to Ukraine, the possibility raises significant questions about the strategies for defense and the geopolitical alliances in the region. The development of this situation will be crucial to understanding the power dynamics and military balances in Europe and beyond.
