Embraer Confirms Sale of KC-390 to Uzbekistan, Marking Expansion of Its Aerospace Market and Consolidating Its Global Presence. The Company Announced a Modernization Project for 68 A-29 Super Tucano Aircraft of the Brazilian Air Force, Which Will Be Equipped with Fifth-Generation Combat Technologies.

Embraer has just confirmed a new international client for its KC-390 cargo aircraft, Uzbekistan, and is announcing a significant modernization of the Brazilian Air Force’s (FAB) A-29 Super Tucano, integrating fifth-generation technology. These upgrades highlight Embraer’s expansion in the global military market and its commitment to maintaining the technological competitiveness of its products.

Uzbekistan has chosen the KC-390 to modernize its airlift fleet, replacing old aircraft such as the Antonov AN-12 with this more modern and capable model from Embraer. 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.

Furthermore, the FAB is about to receive a substantial modernization for 68 of its A-29 Super Tucano, which will include fifth-generation combat technologies to enhance the operational flexibility and modularity of the aircraft. 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.
