Embraer Delivers A-29N Super Tucano Aircraft to Portuguese Air Force Amid Growing Interest in Counter-UAS Missions
Embraer has delivered the first five A-29N Super Tucanos to the Portuguese Air Force, part of a €200 million order for 12 aircraft. The delivery comes one year after the acquisition agreement was signed on December 16, 2025. According to AeroTime, Embraer and the Portuguese State have also signed a Letter of Intent to explore the establishment of an A-29N final assembly line in Portugal. This development may reinforce Embraer’s commitment to supporting NATO allies with reliable solutions.
