Brasil to Send Four More Super Tucano Jets

Embraer Defence and Security Brasil is set to send four more Super Tucano jets on February 29. The arrival of the new fighter-trainer jets is only within a month after the recent downing plane incident in Malang.

“We will have four more Super Tucano on February 29. AT the mean time, we will find out what went wrong,” said Chief of Airforce, Air Marshall Agus Supriatna, on Wednesday.

Indonesia has been importing Super Tucano since 2012. The Airforce now have 12 planes in squadron 21, Malang.

The plane itself is specialized in counter insurgency operation (COIN) and close air support. It can mount a number of weapons, including domestic-production weapon.
