Embraer confirms the sale of the KC-390 to Uzbekistan, marking the expansion of its aerospace market and consolidating its global presence. The company announced a modernization project for 68 Brazilian Air Force A-29 Super Tucano aircraft, which will be equipped with fifth-generation combat technologies.

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

Uzbekistan chose the KC-390 to modernize its air transport fleet, replacing older aircraft like the Antonov AN-12 with this more modern and capable model from Embraer. With the capacity to carry 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.

FAB is about to receive a substantial modernization of 68 of its A-29 Super Tucano

Additionally, the FAB is about to receive a substantial modernization of 68 of its A-29 Super Tucano, which will include fifth-generation combat technologies to improve the aircraft's operational flexibility and modularity. The upgrades involve the installation of new aviation systems such as wide-area displays, heads-up displays and integrated training systems that enable advanced simulations for pilot training, increasing effectiveness in combat and surveillance missions.

These initiatives not only strengthen Embraer's position in the global aerospace market, but also boost technological development in Brazil. By facilitating access to cutting-edge technologies for the FAB and expanding Embraer's international presence, these contracts contribute to economic growth, job creation and advancement of the national industry.

With the adoption of the KC-390 by Uzbekistan and the modernization of the A-29 Super Tucano, Embraer reaffirms its role as one of the leading manufacturers of military aircraft in the world, while supporting the Brazilian armed forces with state-of-the-art equipment prepared for the modern demands of combat and defense.
