Brazil Promotes KC-390 Millennium at Expodefensa 2025, Highlighting 26-Ton Capacity While Seeking to Attract Latin American Air Forces and Maintain Colombia’s Interest in Acquiring Two Units

The participation of KC-390 in Expodefensa 2025 reinforces Brazil’s strategy to position the aircraft as a regional alternative for modernizing military air mobility, supported by the campaign led by Embraer Defense and Security.

Colombia’s interest remains active, as President Gustavo Petro evaluates starting a process for the purchase of two aircraft.

Attention to the model has grown since its debut at F-AIR 2023 and was reinforced by the aircraft’s return at F-AIR 2025.

Capabilities and Mission of the Aircraft

The KC-390 offers a payload of up to 26 tons, speed superior to traditional turboprop aircraft, and modern avionics. The platform performs tactical and strategic missions, such as airborne deployment, medical evacuation, aerial refueling, troop transport, and humanitarian support.

The model is already operated by Brazil, Portugal, and Hungary and will be incorporated by the Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovakia, Lithuania, and South Korea. The expansion reinforces its position as a modern alternative to traditional medium or medium-heavy aircraft.

The promotion of the KC-390 at Expodefensa 2025 demonstrates Brazil’s effort to enhance the projection of its defense industry and strengthen regional cooperation, keeping industrial and military communication active between Brazil and Colombia.

Capabilities and Mission of the Aircraft

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

A city has planted 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants since 2016, reduced the temperature by up to 3°C in some areas, and won an international award for using vegetation to combat urban heat in Colombia.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.
