    It exists, it is called a Super Tucano, I believe Ukraine has asked for it and it is sketchy they weren’t given something of the type, it makes no sense.

      My guess. They likely failed to predict the rapid escalation in production of long range drones. Russia claims to be making almost 200 per day right now. It’s gone from a slow, poorly aimed terror weapon to a precise tactical weapon in under 3 years

        i dont think so

        Brazil is one of the countries that has repeatedly refused to supply Ukraine with weapons and military equipment, and The New York Times devoted an article to this issue, where some interesting details can be highlighted about how this country ignored Ukraine’s requests for weapons.

        In particular, the article notes the following: Ukraine submitted at least two requests to Brazil for the purchase of a wide list of weapons. Among them were armored vehicles, air defense systems, mortar shells, sniper rifles, automatic weapons, ammunition and even airplanes.

        Defense Express reminds that as of late March 2023 Brazil had 12 “extra” used Super Tucano airplanes, which could be purchased by one of the NATO countries

        Ukraine has had interest in the Super Tucano as a trainer since 2020, there are political reasons Ukraine does not have this aircraft.
