With the capacity to transport 6 tons more cargo than its predecessor, the KC-390 represents a qualitative leap for Uzbekistan’s military operations, which will also benefit from complete service and spare parts packages.

The upgrades involve the installation of new aviation systems, such as wide-area displays, heads-up displays, and integrated training systems that allow advanced simulations for pilot training, increasing effectiveness in combat and surveillance missions.
