Brazilian plane-maker Embraer will sell its A-29 Super Tucano aircraft to the US Air Force, in a firm-fixed price delivery order contract worth 355 million dollars, the company said in a statement.

The Paraguayan Air Force operates six AT-27 Tucano turboprop training aircraft, the previous version that evolved into the Super Tucano. Brazil last placed a sale of A-29s to Nigeria in 2021.
