Afghanistan In 2011, the Super Tucano was declared the winner of the US
Light Air Support contract competition over the
Hawker Beechcraft AT-6B Texan II. The contract was cancelled in 2012 citing Hawker Beechcraft's appeal when its proposal was disqualified during the procurement process, but rewon in 2013. Twenty of these light attack aircraft were purchased for the
Afghan Air Force (AAF). The first four aircraft arrived in Afghanistan in January 2016, with a further four due before the end of 2016. Combat-ready Afghan A-29 pilots graduated from training at
Moody Air Force Base,
Georgia, and returned to Afghanistan to represent the first of 30 pilots trained by the
81st Fighter Squadron at Moody AFB. A fleet of 20 A-29s would be in place by 2018, according to a senior U.S. defense official. The Pentagon purchased the Super Tucanos in a $427 million contract with
Sierra Nevada Corp. and Embraer, with the aircraft produced at Embraer's facility on the grounds of
Jacksonville International Airport in
Jacksonville,
Florida. The first four aircraft arrived at
Hamid Karzai International Airport on 15 January 2016. Prior to the A-29's delivery, the Afghan Air Force lacked close air support aircraft other than attack helicopters. In 2017, the AAF conducted roughly 2,000 airstrike sorties, about 40 a week. The AAF had a record high in October with more than 80 missions in a single week. By March 2018, the AAF had 12 A-29s in service. On 22 March 2018, the AAF deployed a
GBU-58 Paveway II 250 lb (113.4 kg) bomb from an A-29 in combat, marking the first time the service had dropped a laser-guided weapon against the
Taliban.
Fall of Kabul In August 2021, during the
2021 Taliban offensive and the
Fall of Kabul, some Afghan pilots fled the country, taking an unknown number of aircraft, including A-29s, with them. An
Afghan Air Force A-29 crashed in Uzbekistan's
Surxondaryo Region; two pilots ejected and landed with parachutes. Initially it was reported shot down by Uzbekistan air defenses, then the Prosecutor General's office in Uzbekistan issued a statement saying that an Afghan military plane had
collided mid-air with an
Uzbekistan Air Force MiG-29, finally it retracted the statement about the mid-air collision. At least one Super Tucano was captured by the
Taliban in the
Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport.
Brazil EMB-314 In August 2001, the
Brazilian Air Force awarded Embraer a contract for 76 Super Tucano / ALX aircraft with options for a further 23. A total of 99 aircraft were acquired from a contract estimated to be worth U$214.1 million; 66 of these aircraft are two-seater versions, designated A-29B. The remaining 33 aircraft are the single-seat A-29 ALX version. The 99th, and last, aircraft was delivered in June 2012.
Sivam programme One of the aircraft's main missions is border patrol under the
Sivam programme, particularly to act against drug trafficking activities. On 3 June 2009, two Brazilian Air Force A-29s, guided by an
Embraer E-99, intercepted a
Cessna U206G inbound from
Bolivia in the region of
Alta Floresta d'Oeste; after exhausting all procedures, one of the A-29s fired a warning shot from its 12.7 mm machine guns, after which the Cessna followed the A-29s to
Cacoal airport. This incident was the first use of powers granted under the Shoot-Down Act, which was enacted in October 2004 to legislate for the downing of illegal flights. A total of 176 kg of pure
cocaine base paste, enough to produce almost a
ton of cocaine, was discovered on board the Cessna; the two occupants attempted a ground escape but were arrested by
federal police in
Pimenta Bueno.
Operation Ágata On 5 August 2011, Brazil started Operation Ágata, part of a major "Frontiers Strategic Plan" launched in June, with almost 30 continuous days of rigorous military activity in the region of Brazil's border with Colombia; it mobilized 35 aircraft and more than 3,000 military personnel of the
Brazilian Army,
Brazilian Navy, and Brazilian Air Force surveillance against drug trafficking,
illegal mining and logging, and trafficking of wild animals. A-29s of 1 / 3º Aviation Group (GAV), Squadron Scorpion, launched a strike upon an illicit airstrip, deploying eight 230 kg (500 lb) computer-guided
Mk 82 bombs to render the airstrip unusable. Multiple
RQ-450 UAVs and several E-99s were assigned for night operations to locate remote jungle airstrips used by drug smuggling gangs along the border. The RQ-450s located targets for the A-29s, allowing them to bomb the airstrips with a high level of accuracy using
night vision systems and
computer systems calculating the impact points of munitions.
Operation Ágata 2 On 15 September 2011, Brazil launched the Operation Ágata 2 on the borders with
Uruguay,
Argentina, and
Paraguay. Part of this border is the infamous
Triple Frontier. A-29s from
Maringá,
Dourados, and
Campo Grande, and
Brazilian upgraded Northrop F-5 Tiger II/F-5EMs from
Canoas, intercepted a total of 33 aircraft during Operation Ágata 2 in this area. Brazilian forces seized 62 tons of narcotics, made 3,000 arrests, and destroyed three illicit airstrips, while over 650 tons of weapons and explosives have been seized.
Operation Ágata 3 On 22 November 2011, Brazil launched the Operation Ágata 3 on the borders with Bolivia,
Peru, and Paraguay. It involved 6,500 personnel, backed by 10 ships and 200 land patrol vehicles, in addition to 70 aircraft, including fighter, transport, and reconnaissance aircraft; it was the largest Brazilian coordinated action involving the Army, Navy, and Air Force against illegal trafficking and organized crime, along a border strip of almost 7,000 km.
A-1 (AMX), Northrop F-5 Tiger II/ F-5EM and A-29s from
Tabatinga,
Campo Grande,
Cuiabá,
Vilhena, and
Porto Velho were employed in defending air space, supported by
airborne early warning and control E-99, equipped with a 450-km-range radar capable of detecting low-flying aircraft, and
R-99,
remote sensing and
surveillance. On 7 December 2011, Brazilian
Ministry of Defence informed that drug seizures were up by 1,319% over the last six months, compared to prior six months.
Chile A-29B In August 2008, the
Chilean Air Force signed a contract valued at $120 million for 12 A-29Bs. The contract includes a broad integrated logistic support package and an advanced training and operation support system (TOSS), covering not only the aircraft, but also an integrated suite for ground support stations. The FACH's TOSS consists of three systems: a mission planning station in which instructor and student program all phases of flight, setting the various parameters of each phase along with navigation, communications, goals, and simulations; a mission debriefing station empowering students with the ability to review all and each flight aspects and phases, enabling to look at the errors and correct them for their next mission; and a flight simulator. The first four A-29Bs arrived in December 2009 while further deliveries took place in the following year. They are based at Los Cóndores Air Base (45 km from
Iquique) and are used for tactical instruction at the 1st Air Brigade for the Aviation Group #1, the fully digital cockpit allows students to do a smooth transition between the
T-35 Pillán (basic trainer) and the
F-16.
Colombia A total of 25 Super Tucanos (variant AT-29B) were purchased by the Colombian Air Force in a US$234 million deal, purchased directly from Embraer. On 14 December 2006, the first three aircraft arrived to the military airfield of
CATAM in
Bogotá; two more were delivered later that month, ten more in the first half of 2007, and the rest in June 2008. On 18 January 2007, a squadron of Colombian Air Force Super Tucanos launched the first-ever combat mission of its type, attacking
FARC positions in the jungle with
Mark 82 bombs. This attack made use of the Super Tucano's
constantly computed impact point capability; the aircraft's performance in action was a reported success. On 11 July 2012, the first Super Tucano was lost near
Jambaló in the
Cauca Department during an anti-FARC operation; rebels claimed they shot it down with a .50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine gun, but the Colombian Air Force challenged the rebel group's claim after inspecting the wreckage. In 2008, during
"Operation Phoenix", a Colombian Air Force Super Tucano used
Griffin laser-guided bombs to destroy a guerrilla cell
inside Ecuador and kill the second-in-command chief of FARC,
Raúl Reyes. This event led to a
diplomatic break between the two countries. On 21 September 2010, Operation Sodoma in the
Meta department began, 120 miles south of the capital
Bogotá. FARC commander
Mono Jojoy was killed in a massive military operation on 22 September, after 25 EMB-314s launched seven tonnes of explosives on the camp, while some 600 special forces troops descended by rope from helicopters, opposed by 700 guerrillas; 20 guerrillas died in the attack. On 2 October 2010, during Operation Darién, Super Tucanos used infrared cameras to spot and bombard the FARC 57th front in the
Chocó Department, just a kilometer away from the Panama border. Five rebels, including several commanders, were killed. On 15 October 2011, Operation Odiseo started with a total of 969 members of the
Colombian armed forces. A total of 18 aircraft participated in Operation Odiseo. On 4 November 2011, five Super Tucanos dropped 1000 lb (450 kg) and 250 lb (135 kg) bombs, plus high-precision smart bombs. This operation ended with the death of the leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, FARC),
Alfonso Cano. It was biggest blow in the history of the
guerrilla organization. At dawn of 22 February 2012, EMB-314s identified the camp of FARC's 57th Front, north of
Bojayá near the border with Panama. In Operation Frontera, Super Tucanos dropped two high-precision bombs, destroying the camp and killing six FARC rebels, including Pedro Alfonso Alvarado (alias "Mapanao"), who was responsible for the
Bojayá massacre in 2002, in which 119 civilians were killed.
Espada de Honor War Plan The Espada de Honor War Plan was an aggressive Colombian counterinsurgency strategy that aimed to dismantle FARC's structure, both militarily and financially. It targeted FARC leadership focusing on eliminating the 15 most powerful economic and military fronts. During Operacion Faraón, at the dawn of 21 March 2012, five Super Tucanos bombarded the FARC's 10th Front guerrilla camp in
Arauca, near the Venezuelan border, killing 33 rebels. Five days later, in Operation Armagedón, nine Super Tucanos from
Apiay Air Base attacked the FARC's 27th front camp in
Vista Hermosa, Meta, using coordinates received from a guerrilla informant recruited by the police intelligence, launching 40 guided 500-lb bombs within three minutes, destroying the camp and killing 36 rebels. In late May, Super Tucanos bombarded a
National Liberation Army camp located in rural Santa Rosa at
Bolívar Department. On 31 May 2012, a bombardment over the Western Front of the ELN at an inhospitable area of the
Chocó Department killed seven rebels. On 6 June 2012, during a minute and half bombardment over FARC's 37th front located in northern
Antioquia Department, five Super Tucanos dropped 250-kg bombs, killing eight rebels. In September, Super Tucanos provided reconnaissance and
close air support during an "Omega" operation, during which seven terrorists were gunned down and four were captured, including "Fredy Cooper", the 7th front's leader of the Public Order Company. On 5 September 2012, "Danilo Garcia", leader of the FARC's 33rd Front, was killed in a bombing raid; Danilo was considered "the right hand of supreme FARC leader alias Timochenko". Intelligence indicated that the bodies of 15 guerrillas may have been buried in the bombing. Eight A-29s carried out an air strike on 27 September during Operación Saturno at the FARC's 37th front camp in the northwest of Antioquia Department, resulting in the death of Efrain Gonzales Ruiz, "Pateñame", leader of the 35th and 37th fronts, and 13 others. In April 2013, two Super Tucanos bombarded the FARC's 59th front
fort in
Serranía del Perijá municipality
Barrancas, La Guajira.
Dominican Republic In August 2001, Embraer announced the signing of a contract with the
Dominican Republic for 10 Super Tucanos, to use for pilot training,
internal security,
border patrol and counter-narcotics trafficking missions. The order was reduced to eight aircraft in January 2009, for a total amount of US$93 million. The first two aircraft were delivered on 18 December 2009, three arrived in June 2010, and the remaining three in October 2010. In February 2011,
Dominican Republic Air Force Chief of Operations Col. Hilton Cabral stated: "since the introduction of the Super Tucano aircraft and ground-based radars, illicit air tracks into the Dominican Republic had dropped by over 80 percent." In August 2011, the Dominican Air Force said that since taking delivery of the Super Tucanos in 2009, it has driven away drug flights to the point that they no longer enter the country's airspace. In May 2012, the Dominican president
Leonel Fernández gave a cooperative order for the armed forces to support a fleet of Super Tucanos for the antidrug fight on
Haiti.
Ecuador The
Ecuadorian Air Force operates 18 Super Tucanos; they are established at
Manta Air Base in two squadrons: 2313 "Halcones" (used for border surveillance and
flight training) and 2311 "Dragones" (used for counterinsurgency). Ecuadorian Super Tucanos use the PT-6A-68A (1,300 shp) engine. On 23 March 2009, Embraer announced that negotiations over a nine-month-old agreement with the Ecuadorian Air Force had been completed. The deal covers the supply of 24 Super Tucanos to replace Ecuador's aging fleet of Vietnam-era
Cessna A-37 Dragonfly strike aircraft, and help reassert control over the country's airspace. In May 2010, after receiving its sixth Super Tucano under a $270 million contract, Ecuador announced a reduction in its order from 24 to 18 Super Tucanos to release funds to buy secondhand
South African Air Force Denel Cheetah C fighters. By cutting its order for the EMB-314, the Defence Ministry says the accrued savings would better allow it to bolster the air force's flagging air defence component.
Honduras On 3 September 2011, the head of the
Honduran Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Hondureña, or FAH), said that Honduras was to procure four Super Tucanos. On 7 February 2012, the Honduran government informed the Brazilian Trade Ministry of its interest in acquiring a large number of Super Tucanos. However, due to the economic situation, the government was forced to repair their aging aircraft inventory, instead of purchasing eight EMB-314s. On 17 October 2014, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation announced the go-ahead for acquiring two new A-29s by the FAH following approval from the country's National Council for Security and Defence. As part of the deal, six of the FAH's surviving EMB-312A Tucanos, acquired in 1984, will be refurbished and upgraded by Embraer. Originally operated only by the Academia Militar de Aviación at Palmerola for training, they have recently been armed for counter-narcotics missions. Just three were airworthy as the Brazilian deal was signed for the aircraft to be upgraded and the other three be made airworthy again. Together with the two newly acquired Super Tucanos, this will boost efforts to maintain security within the country.
Indonesia , 2016 In January 2010,
Indonesian Air Force commander Air Marshal
Imam Sufaat had designated the Super Tucano as the preferred replacement for
OV-10. Indonesia signed a memorandum of understanding with Embraer at the Indo Defense 2010 exhibition in Jakarta. Indonesia initially ordered eight Super Tucanos, including ground-support stations and a logistics package, with an option for another eight on the same terms; the first were scheduled to arrive in 2012. Defense Minister
Purnomo Yusgiantoro added that state aircraft maker
Indonesian Aerospace would perform maintenance work, and may also manufacture some components. In March 2012, Indonesian Ministry of Defense informed the possibility of a future joint production, further modernization and sales in the Asia-Pacific region. On 10 July 2012, Indonesia ordered a second set of eight Super Tucanos, along with a full flight simulator, bringing their order total to 16. In August 2012, Indonesia received the first four planes from the initial batch at a ceremony held in its facility in
Gavião Peixoto, São Paulo, Brazil. Deliveries of the second batch of Super Tucanos were delayed by over seven months. In September 2014, the second batch left Brazil on their ferry flight to Malang
Abdul Rachman Saleh Air Base in East Java. One aircraft was lost in a crash on 10 February 2016, and a further two in crashes on 16 November 2023. The separatist organization
Free Papua Movement claimed that two Indonesian Air Force Super Tucanos had bombed one of their headquarters and an adjacent village in Kiwirok district,
Bintang Mountains Regency on 6 October 2025. A video recorded by the rebels showed the aircraft firing its machine guns and unguided rockets. An unnamed official from the Armed Forces headquarters confirmed that there is an operation against the rebels.
Lebanon The Pentagon first proposed to provide to
Lebanon a contract for 10 EMB-314s in 2010. Six Tucanos with 2,000
advanced precision-kill weapon systems went to Lebanon via the US LAS program, but financed by Saudi Arabia at million. The first two were delivered in October 2017, with four more in June 2018.
Mauritania Negotiations for the acquisitions of Super Tucanos started in December 2011. On 28 March 2012 at Chile's FIDAE defense and air show, Embraer announced sales of undisclosed numbers of aircraft to Mauritania. On 19 October 2012, Embraer delivered the first EMB-314, fitted with a
FLIR Safire III infrared turret for border surveillance operations.
Nigeria In November 2013, Nigeria showed interest in acquiring twelve new Super Tucanos. Three aircraft were bought from the Brazilian Air Force inventory in 2017. In April 2017, the United States indicated that it would be moving forward with a deal to sell up to 12 of the aircraft for up to million, ending delays that had been caused by human-rights concerns. In August 2017, the US Department of State approved of the sale of 12 aircraft and associated supplies and weapons. In November 2018, Nigeria purchased 12 Super Tucanos from Sierra Nevada for $329 million, all of which can be fitted with forward-looking infrared systems. They were delivered to Nigeria in October 2021.
Panama In March 2025, it was announced that four Super Tucanos would be purchased for Panama's
National Aeronaval Service, which will become the first combat aircraft to ever be operated by the country. It was reported in September 2025 that the contract for four had been signed, making Panama the eighth Latin American Nation to acquire the platform.
Philippines In 2014, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) initiated a project to acquire six new Close Air Support (CAS) aircraft under its Horizon 1 modernization program. The goal was to replace aging assets and establish a standardized CAS platform for the PAF's 15th Strike Wing, with a target completion date around 2020. These aircraft were intended to support ground and naval forces, conduct airstrikes, and provide surveillance and patrol capabilities . In late 2017, Department of National Defense signed the contract to purchase of 6 units for the Close Air Support Aircraft acquisition project as included in the AFP Modernization Program's Horizon 1 phase. On 13 October 2020, six A-29Bs were turned over to the PAF. They were inducted with the
16th Attack Squadron, 15th Strike Wing. On 9 December 2021, PAF A-29Bs conducted airstrikes on terrorist encampments as part of Oplan Stinkweed in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat. On 31 December 2024 The Philippine Air Force’s 15th Strike Wing held a retirement ceremony for its last two remaining
North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco light attack aircraft and two
Bell AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters. Brig. Gen. Juliano Llarenas said during the decommissioning ceremony over the weekend that a contract was signed for 6 additional units of Super Tucano aircraft on 27 December. Embraer confirmed the order for 6 additional aircraft in February 2026.
Portugal In 2021, Portugal showed interest in acquiring at least 10 aircraft. In 2022, the
Portuguese Air Force reportedly proposed to purchase 12 second-hand A-29s from Brazilian Air Force reserves. In August 2022 the Chief of Staff of the Air Force stated the service's interest in acquiring propeller aircraft for combat missions. By July 2024, it was reported that negotiations were underway for new-build A-29Ns. In December 2024, it was announced that the
Força Aérea Portuguesa would acquire twelve A-29N Super Tucanos.
United States in 2015 as part of training program for Afghan pilots
Civilian One Super Tucano was purchased by a subsidiary of
Blackwater Worldwide, an American
private military contractor. It lacked the normal wing-mounted machine guns. In 2012, that aircraft was sold on to
Tactical Air Support, Inc., of Reno, Nevada.
Military Special operations In 2008, the
U.S. Navy began testing the Super Tucano at the behest of the
U.S. Special Operations Command for its potential use to support special warfare operations, giving it the official U.S. designation
A-29B.
Islamic Republic of Afghanistan In 2009, the Super Tucano was offered in a U.S. Air Force competition for 100 counterinsurgency aircraft. On 12 April 2010, Brazil signed an agreement to open negotiations for the acquisition of 200 Super Tucanos by the U.S. On 16 November 2011, the
AT-6 was excluded from the
LAS program, effectively selecting the Super Tucano. According to
GAO: "the Air Force concluded that HBDC had not adequately corrected deficiencies in its proposal… that multiple deficiencies and significant weaknesses found in HBDC's proposal make it technically unacceptable and results in unacceptable mission capability risk".
Hawker Beechcraft's protest against its exclusion was dismissed. While the contract award was disputed, a stop-work was issued in January 2012. For this procurement, the avionics were supplied by
Elbit Systems of America.
Sierra Nevada, the US-based prime contractor built the Super Tucano in Jacksonville, Florida. The
81st Fighter Squadron, based at
Moody Air Force Base, was reactivated on 15 January 2015 and received the A-29s and provided training to pilots and maintainers from the Afghan Air Force. They were turned over to the Afghans in batches from December 2018.
Light attack experiment In August 2017, the US Air Force conducted the "Light Attack Experiment" to evaluate potential light attack aircraft. Following this, it decided to continue experimenting with two non-developmental aircraft, the Textron Aviation
AT-6B Wolverine derivative of the T-6 Texan II and the Sierra Nevada/Embraer A-29 Super Tucano. Tests conducted at
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona between May and July 2018, examined logistics requirements, weapons and sensor issues, and future interoperability with partner forces. The Air Force expects to have the information it needs to potentially buy light attack aircraft in a future competition, without conducting a combat demonstration, based on data collected during the first round of the experiment and future data anticipated to be collected in the next phase of experimentation. The A-29 had a fatal crash while over the Red Rio Bombing Range,
White Sands Missile Range. By 2022, three A-29C aircraft had been delivered by Sierra Nevada to Air Force Special Operations Command.
Paraguay In July 2024, Embraer and the
Paraguayan Air Force announced the acquisition of six Super Tucanos, with deliveries planned to begin in 2025.
Uruguay In July 2024, Embraer and the
Uruguayan Air Force announced the acquisition of eleven Super Tucanos, with deliveries planned to begin in 2025.
Potential operators Bolivia Embraer reportedly offered the Super Tucano to the
Bolivian Air Force.
Equatorial Guinea Equatorial Guinea was said to be interested in purchasing the Super Tucano.
Guatemala In August 2011, the
Guatemalan Air Force requested credit approval of $166 million to buy six EMB-314s, control centers, radar, and equipment, in the context of a programme named "C4I". In October 2012, the Guatemalan Congress approved a loan for the C4I programme, including the purchase of six A-29s, to be granted by Brazilian and Spanish banks (BNDES and BBVA). The deal was finalized in April 2013. The first two aircraft were expected to arrive in April 2014, followed by two units in 2015 and two more in 2016. However, the president of Guatemala cancelled the order in November 2013. In January 2015, the Guatemalan defence minister disclosed that his country was looking at purchasing two aircraft from Embraer.
Libya The
Libyan government is interested in buying up to 24 Super Tucanos.
Mozambique Brazil planned to donate three EMB-312s for
Mozambique Air Force, which may also acquire three Super Tucanos. In 2016, the donation deal was canceled by the Brazilian government.
Peru In March 2011, a Brazilian federal representative spoke on the
Unasur treaty, stating that it could promote the surveillance integration in the
Amazon Basin and facilitate the sale of 12 Super Tucanos and upgrade kits for 20 Peruvian
EMB-312s. In November 2011, Peru's defence minister announced the Super Tucano purchase was suspended in favor of the Korean
KT-1. On 14 February 2012, Brazil's Ministry of Defence said Peru is considering buying ten Super Tucanos. However, in November 2012, a government-to-government contract was signed for 20 KT-1s. In 2012, the governments of Peru and Brazil restarted negotiations for the acquisition of 12 A-29s to replace A-37 Dragonflys that are due to withdraw in 2017.
Suriname Suriname is interested in purchasing between two and four Super Tucanos for light attack roles.
Thailand Embraer has also quoted
Thailand as a potential customer for the type.
UAE In September 2010, it was announced that Brazil and the
United Arab Emirates were working a deal that includes sales of Super Tucanos. It was reported in early 2015 that the UAE is negotiating with Embraer the purchase of 24 Super Tucanos, the deal would include six aircraft from Brazilian Air Force inventory for immediate delivery. Since then an Emirati company, Callidus, bought a Brazilian company, Novaer, founded by an engineer involved in the Tucano project, and started a project for an alternative aircraft strongly resembling it, the
Calidus B-250.
Ukraine In August 2019, a Ukrainian military delegation visited Embraer's military division in São Paulo and flew the Super Tucano. In October 2019, the President of Ukraine,
Volodymyr Zelensky, in a meeting with Brazilian President
Jair Bolsonaro, informed that his country would buy the Super Tucano. In December 2022, the Brazilian media reported a Ukrainian interest in the Super Tucano, to equip its air force for the
Russo-Ukrainian War; however, the sale was blocked by the Bolsonaro administration. A diplomatic effort by the United States to persuade the president-elect of Brazil,
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to unblock the deal, has been reported. On 9 October 2009, it was announced that China would manufacture six
K-8 for Bolivia, to be used for antidrug operations, at a price of $9.7 million per aircraft.
El Salvador In November 2010, the President of the Legislative Defense Committee of
El Salvador stated they would purchase an estimated 10 EMB-314s. It was postponed in February 2011 by lack of funds. In 2013, the El Salvador Air Force acquired 10 Cessna A-37 retired from Chilean Air Force.
Iraq In January 2015 a report in
Jane's Defence Weekly said the Iraqi Air Force would receive 24 Super Tucanos, six directly from Brazilian Air Force stocks, and some from an order placed by the
United Arab Emirates.
Senegal In September 2012, Senegal was reportedly in a procurement process with Embraer. In April 2013, the Brazilian minister of Defence disclosed that Senegal was the 4th African nation to order the Super Tucano, in the following day, Embraer confirmed the order, which included a training system for pilots and mechanics (TOSS) in Senegal, bringing autonomy to that country's Air Force in preparing qualified personnel. However, the deal was not finalized and Senegal opted for four Korean KT-1s.
Sweden Sweden proposed replacing its
Saab 105 trainer aircraft with Super Tucanos, if Brazil chose to buy the
Gripen NG. In May 2021, the Swedish Armed Forces announced that it chose
Grob G 120TP as the new trainer and it will enter service in 2023.
United Kingdom Elbit Systems and Embraer offered the EMB-314 for the United Kingdom's basic trainer contest. However, the Beechcraft T-6C Texan II formed part of the preferred bid for the requirement in October 2014.
Venezuela In February 2006, a 36-unit sale for
Venezuela fell through because it was thought the U.S. would block the transfer of U.S.-built components. Venezuelan President
Hugo Chávez claimed the U.S. had pressured Brazil not to sign the contract. == Operators ==
