Brazil aircraft maker, Embraer confirmed selling A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to three African air forces at a deal valued at $180 million.
Angola, Burkina Faso and Mauritania bought the turboprop-powered A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft from the Brazillian company on a contractual basis.
Three aircraft already have been delivered to Burkino Faso; six are destined for Angola, including three planned for delivery later this year, Embraer announced.
