In its participation in the XVII International Exhibition, Arms and Security 2021, in Kiev, Ukraine, a military event, which included the participation of names such as Dassault and Lockheed Martin, Embraer presented the A-29 Super Tucano and the C- 390 Millennium.

The event, focused on promoting the models to Eastern Europe, began on the 16th and ended on the 18th. Several nations are looking to renew their military fleets.

The event had 332 companies present, so Embraer presented its product and promoted it to Ukrainian authorities, who are looking for new light attack platforms to replace the L-39 and SU-25 of some series.

Although it has the Antonov factory, Ukraine does not have a history of building combat aircraft, its arsenal being inherited from the Soviet Union. In this sense, Ukraine intends to update its fleet until 2035, as it has little chance of maintaining operations with Russian aircraft.


Embraer already has several A-29 Super Tucano units exported to various air forces around the world and is looking for new customers for the C-390.
