The contract for the supply of attack aircraft may be concluded in 2020.

Ukraine plans to replace the Su-27 and MiG-29 with Brazilian Super Tucano. This was reported by reporters from "Reporter". They noted that the equipment of the country's Air Force is in a terrible state. Kiev continues to use Soviet-made aircraft. Most of the aircraft will be retired in 2025.

On the morning of August 11, it became known that Ukraine was considering the possibility of purchasing attack aircraft from Brazil. The deal may take place as part of a program to modernize the country's air force. The issue of purchasing these aircraft will be resolved by the end of this year.

As a reminder, the Super Tucano is a lightweight turboprop combat aircraft. It was created by the military to conduct operations against guerrillas from Colombia. The board can reach speeds of up to 590 km per hour. Its flight range is 1330 km. The attack aircraft is equipped with air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, as well as 20-mm automatic cannons and various types of bombs.
