I’m an engineer from Brazil who had the opportunity to watch a lecture given by Ozires Silva, founder of Embraer, while I was in the university. Still to this day, some of my classmates work for Embraer. Thank you for this incredible video! Despite all the issues and struggles that Brazilian people face in their lives, stories of success like this of the Super Tucano makes us think about “ok, we have something made here that’s coveted by the whole world and we can be proud of”.
That's a good story! hey type " Chris's Super Tucano " in the youtube serch and get that ver. and you could (ina small way) fly it too. Lol It's the way I feel about the A-10
Brazil is a fantastic nation that not only has a bright vibrant culture, but has done their part towards future engineering projects. Brazil is an essential part of our global economy. Brazilians should be, by all rights, very proud.
This plane has been very effective against Boko Haram in my country Nigeria ever since we acquired it recently. Efficient, tough, laser guided missile and good range.
Here in Indonesia, the Super Tucanos are based only 80 Kms from where I live, these beauties were bought for the Air Force to replace the legendary OV-10F Broncos for COIN tasks. Our province also home for a squadron of F-16C/D based around 150 Kms west of where the Tucanos based. Kudos to the Brazilian, their aviation industry are the envy of developing nations such as our's
Oh yea! Here in the USA, I live about 20 miles from where they build the Virginia Class nuclear submarine. Jokes aside, the A 29 is such a badass plane. It's the perfect plane to fight insurgence with low tech equipment. It's too expensive to use F-35s when a prop plane would be sufficient.
So, you would love to known, that EMB-314 was developed following the Colombian experience using Armed tucanos against FARC, using Mk-82 bombs, rockets, and .50 machineguns
@@IllustriousUnknown416 you must've been living in a cave because Embraer has secured billions from the BNDES (Brazilian development bank) for the development of their evtol, for the increase of production of the C-390, Gripen and their E-jets. By the way, the C-390 project wouldn't be possible without the participation of the Brazilian government that ordered 28 units in 2014.
@@Walter-uf9pz "Embraer does a lot with very little" this line alone is enough to conclude that, in his review, it receives almost no support from the government. he said nothing about geopolitical positioning.
Embraer make such good aircraft. Their small regional airliners are also damn good! Just because it still has a propeller doesn't mean it's any less good than the newest jets! Just filling a different market niche!
Exactly. Sometimes you need a microscope, sometimes you need a telescope. But they're basically the same thing as a Super Tucano is a "same thing" as a F-35.
the beauty of the A29 Super Tucano is in its relatively cheap operating and maintenance cost, while having comparatively close avionics of its modern, jet powered brothers. The A29 is now one of the main weapons platform in the Philippine air force inventory.
That's the trick. One hour of operation cost for other jet planes allows much much more time for the tucano. In prolonged conflicts resources become scarce. That makes a big difference.
I worked for a seson on a refitting the Colombian tucanos got in 2014. We manufactured a few parts with approval from Embraer. The morning of the ceremony when the fleet was delivered, me and the other machinists were allowed to sit at the cockpit and take a picture in one of them
There's just something really cool about an old school, retro looking prop plane that can handle itself in the modern day. It's like having a retro Mini Cooper that can keep up with a Porsche 911.
Only the Mini Cooper - Original - was sh*t. Like most "classics". The only mini keeping up with a 911, isn't a Mini in original form. Where as the 911 is... 😅
When the super Tucanos were just bought by Ecuador, the ecuadorian air force (FAE or Fuerza aerea ecuatoriana) used them to bomb an ilegal mining site with a lot of buldozers in the midle of ecuadorian amazon jungle. They were VERY precise on that operation.
This is the function of the Super Tucano, light, smooth attack, some idiots don't understand that for each job, there is a specific tool, they want to fight drug traffickers with F35 and long-range missiles, hahahaha.
I would hope so.. the avionics suite on these things is actually pretty high spec, to miss your target in one would be harder than hitting said target unless you turned all the targeting systems off.
I'm Brazilian. The Super Tucano was developed as the first step in the evolution of Brazilian military aviation. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Brazil has embarked on several programs to modernize its armed forces: the purchase of Gripen E/F fighters, the development of a domestically manufactured rifle (IA2), the modernization of Astros missile batteries, a nuclear submarine, etc. The Super Tucano was a convergence of requirements. Brazil is a peaceful country that doesn't get involved in traditional conflicts, but has difficulty fighting parastatal enemies in the Amazon region. It is an aircraft with a low stall speed, could take off and land in unpaved runaways, has the ability to hit targets at a good distance, act in active and passive surveillance, if necessary, and Brazil needed an aircraft that would be a transition or training for pilots to operate in jet fighters. The ST should be able to act jointly with other air force fighters and have a datalink to coordinate with military personnel on the ground or in the air, and be able to take part in passive and active surveillance in real missions if the Amazon is invaded by another country. This explains the avionics technology and the high capacity to stay in the air for hours. Most interventions against drug-trafficking planes take 1 hour...1.5 hours to intercept due to the size of the Amazon rainforest
Brazilian engineers are very capable. They built a reliable, rugged and advanced machine which can have their capabilities expanded very far from the original specs. Now, we got working to convert E-195E2 into patrol aircrafts to retire the P-3 Orion and even plans to convert the KC-390 into a gunship if needed. If our politicians were more mature(and less corrupt) we could have a much larger(and better) defense portfolio.
Brazil already has the world's 10th largest military budget, but it's mostly squandered to pensions and cosseting. It's not any government's fault, the military has huge autonomy over its budget and prefers to profit to build strong capabilities. In fact, one may even ask why should Brazil have an army, when its main threats would reach it by sea or by air, with no significant threat by land.
@@rafariffwe dont have any threats from land precisely because of our army, remember that armies are cheap (relative to air forces and navies) and even if not powerful enough to face a superpower (especially the western ones which are the ones more likely to attack us) in open, regular warfare, our army is very capable in terms of both anti guerrila and guerrila warfare, and we have units that can give this guerrila training to partisans all over the country, which is enough to dissuade even the most powerful armies of invading now imagine if we were to try to reach the same effect through investments into the navy and air force, it would be much more expensive, and we would face way more resistence from other countries (especially the united states, that loves to get in our way anytime we try to modernize our armed forces)
Filipino here, thank God relatively cheap Counter Insurgency aircraft like these and Tai T129 exists. Other low budget countries would have been fucked years ago if it weren't for this, look up the recent Philippine Communist Insurgents War just this year.
De tudo que o apresentador descreveu sobre o Super Tucano faltou um parâmetro muito importante que é o custo da hora de vôo. Por esse parâmetro pode se constatar que o Super Tucano pode cumprir muitas das tarefas de outras aeronaves exponencialmente mais caras a um custo infinitamente menor.
As razões de Portugal não são claramente divulgadas, mas é uma aeronave desenhada especificamente para patrulha de fronteiras muito grandes como são as brasileiras, o que não é o caso das fronteiras continentais de Portugal, porém a capacidade de longos vôos e resiliência ao clima de floresta úmida, tempestades e umidade, o faz adequado para patrulha marítima contra pequenas embarcações, como as de pesca ilegal, também o fato de ter sido projetado para interceptar vôos de baixa altitude e baixa velocidade, e aí está a grande diferença dos jatos, o torna capaz de acompanhar o vôo lado a lado a uma pequena aeronave como um Piper, interpelar as intenções e se for o caso exigir o acompanhamento de vôo a um aeroporto para fiscalização, operação típica de combate ao tráfico. Um jato poderia derrubá-lo sim, mas não é essa a primeira função da patrulha, e entraria em stol se tentasse voar ao lado de uma pequena aeronave como essa para abordagem. Por último, já demonstrou claramente a sua utilidade como aeronave de combate ao solo em guerra com insurgentes e guerrilhas, os jatos desenvolvidos para ataque ao solo foram projetados para destruir grandes colunas de blindados, não uma dúzia de obstinados dentro de uma trincheira, até fazem isso, mas a um custo 10x maior e uma autonomia de vôo bem menor.
@@acics Também vale lembrar. Portugal tem um plano de expansão da ZEE. Que vai deixar o pais com o dobro de extensão da original, cerca de 2 milhões de Km2. Isso é uma parte enorme do atlântico que tem de ser patrulhada. Fazer aquisição de uma aeronave que promove eficiência sem um custo de operação absurdo faz todo sentido, especialmente quando se fala de uma economia do tamanho de Portugal. Correção: 2 milhões de Km2 é a extensão. A atual é 1.6 milhões. No total vão ser quase 3.7 milhões de Km2. "Galaxy Brain"
Joseph Kovacs, a Hungarian born and naturalized Brazilian, designed the T-27 Tucano, the precursor to the T-29 Super-Tucano. Kovacs was a prolific engineer and designed 56 other aircraft, including gliders, experimental aircraft and sports aircraft.
@@jnmrn4069Brazil of course... Brazil has the longest contiguous cost strip of the world, vast majority of brazilian cities are close to the coast, so you can bet that this aircrafts are used by cost guard operations.
@@efxnews4776your idea makes a lot of sense, but you would be surprised to know that it does not patrol the coast of Brazil, it is only used to patrol the Amazon, Brazil is a little concerned about protecting its coast, because we have no enemies
Thanks!! I was trying to remember what planes from WW2 Super Tucano reminds of😅😅. The Mustang Of course 🫡🫡( I don't know why I was thinking of the Spitfire when in reality I meant The Mustang)
I'm surprised prop planes are not making a comeback with long-range drones being a threat. They are perfect for that. Their slow speed allows them to target the drones with on-board cannons the way jets cannot do. They are super-cheap and quick to manufacture and much more effective than firing wildly from the ground and much more cost-effective than missiles.
It's like that old World War 2 plane 'The Swordfish' which worked because it was like they took a plane from World War 1 and plonked it into the middle of World War 2.
For those of you wondering on the difference between the Super Tucano and the American Sky Warden...The A-29 Super Tucano is more combat-focused, with capabilities for close air support, and is well-suited for rapid-response attack missions in low-intensity conflict zones. L3 Harris' Sky Warden excels in ISR, with advanced sensor systems and long endurance, making it better/ideal for surveillance (8-10 hours vs. 6.5) and precision-targeting roles. Both serve their unique niches well, and the choice between them would depend on mission requirements, with the A-29 favored for attack missions and the Sky Warden for intelligence and surveillance-focused operations.
@@dylancarls3235A little more than that. The Warden is a repurposed agricultural aircraft while the Super Tucano was designed from the ground up for the missions it performs.
Sky Warden is basically a scam. Are you telling me I need 60 million dollars to buy a crop duster? Give me the contract. I shall supply you 60 crop dusters for 60 million dollars and retire as a rich man
@ I definitely thought the same thing. It’s the ISR equipment on the Sky Warden. The Wescam MX-20 optical camera by itself costs $1.1M. I only know this because a couple of years ago I was playing around with idea of how much it would cost to take a F150, put 20 loitering munition launchers in the back in a palletized configuration and then attach a tethered drone for ISR and targeting. More than half the cost for the entire build was the Wescam. At those prices, I think there’s a market for someone who wants to compete in ISR cameras. A year ago I found out that Israel must’ve had the exact same idea because I saw my idea on one of their webpages.
Tucano & Super Tucano was developed into my structural design group and we are so proud to be that time as manager of a Embraer brilliant staff ! I am retired since 2007 and obvious seeing this documentary made me remenber such lovely experiency😊😊😊
8:42 (and other times in this video) For those who might wonder what the significance of the "121,5" (or 121.5 for us 'Muricans), my very educated guess is that is the common communications "Emergency chat room" frequency used worldwide as a way to communicate between individual ground stations and airplanes - commercial, military or private. Stray into restricted airspace? Most likely, you will see a military plane like the Super Tucano off your wing flashing that number on a sign they carry to get in touch with you on the radio for instructions...
this is how you get "pulled over" by the brazilian air force! 99% of the time is just air force cadets training this procedure over the amazon (pilots flying around the region are pretty used to it, there might be videos of it on yt but only in portuguese 😢). sometimes we do be catching some smugglers tho! they usually emergency land the plane and set it on fire after the warning shots. been a while since someone was actually taken down
That entire clip barely mentioned the number one feature where the Super Tucano beats modern jet fighters: cost. You can buy a dozen of them for the equivalent of one jet fighter. People keep forgetting how expensive jet fighters are. They cost several thousand dollars an hour on fuel, and that's just scratching the surface, not to mention maintenance. Jet fighters are great against other jet fighters and modern naval fleets. But on anything else, such as terrorists, they're overkill. Another thing they can be good for is testing pilots in combat. The pilots who do the best can then be promoted to fly fighter jets.
I think its fly cost by hour is like a 10th or less than an A-10, give it or take, while also not needing as much maintenance and logistics. For less contested airspaces and not having a 10km line of MBTs to disable, it does the job very well 😅
Brazilians being Brazilians. We always come up with ideas with lots of creativity in every area. Thanks so much to put the word out there. Hugs from Brasil
I love how Embraer make an aircraft with everything we have in the market with high technologies, and put in turbo prop plane, with XX century designer, i love my country
"Everything we have in the market" I mean hardly, it's nice don't get me wrong but I don't see a modern advanced radar or electronics warfare system and it's not really stealth, which is fine and I'm not saying it's not a good weapons platform. It's just not "everything we have in the market with high technologies".
It's a great concept. Affordable. Tough. Tremendous loiter time. The pre-Taliban Afghan Air Force, such as it was, were using these to apparently good effect against the Taliban.
Aircraft of this type generally do not use radar. In the case of Brazil, it is vectored via Data link by ground radars or awacs aircrafts. Radar stealth is not a fundamental requirement for such aircraft, on the contrary it could compromise performance and control at low altitude and speed. It is an US$ 18 million aircraft, it makes use of the best in the market...
@@saturnats The proposed AGM-183A ARRW missile is estimated to cost ~$15million USD, and the Khinzal is $10million. Hypersonic technology is expensive. Not long from now, it'll be possible to load the Supertucano with missiles that are more expensive than the plane. I'm not sure why anyone would do that. Hilarious forested runway for surprise hypersonic action? It definitely explains why they're so successful in other nations, though. When major powers are spending millions on disposable ordinance, this plane is an investment for years of fun.
Amazing ! Congrats for the show. I am proud now for the Brasilian airplane industry EMBRAER that also has the third place in civilian air class airplane with the new E class jets with up to 150 passangers.
These turboprop attackers are just cool as hell. I love that America's version, the AT-6, is called the "Wolverine" You guys should do a video on that if you haven't already.
Brazilian Air Force used AT6s for training for a long time. Later they were replaced by Neiva Universal (resembles the Tucano, but smaller and piston powered), and them Tucanos and Super Tucanos. We still see some remaining AT6s flying in air shows here, they're really cool and that radial engine sounds great. But Tucanos and Super Tucanos are cooler.
@@AleMagalhaes the AT-6 Wolverine and Super Tucano use the same high output PT6 turboshaft engine. You might be thinking of a different AT-6 from WWII.
@@paulblair898 You're right, I saw some people talking about P51 and when I read AT6 I just remembered that. Indeed AT6 and A29 are quite similar in specs, with some advantage to A29.
I was born and raised in the city of São José dos Campos-SP, Brazil, where Embraer is located. I could get really close to some A-29 Super Tucanos, and watch some displays of the demonstrations team of Brazilian Air Force, called Esquadrilha da Fumaça, that have these planes. Thanks for the video.
@@canaltechmilitar Is it true? I find it kind of hard to believe but it's been said by some specialists that the F-35 would lose a dogfight with the F-16. Others say that the idea behind the F-35 is to define the battle way before the other plane could see it. What if a new capable jet is equipped with uptodate detection electronics? Is this the case of the the Brazilian F-39 against the US F-35?
@@BokoMoko65 Basically, the Brazilian Gripen has technological and future structural upgrades so that it can operate on aircraft carriers, as well as a way of applying the same power with different requirements. Modernizing "things" is our strong point, proof of this is the F-5 having gone from a second generation to a third, obviously it's not a big deal these days, but it's still useful for interceptions. The intention is that in the future based on the Gripen we can have a 5th generation fighter, it is a difficult task, but not impossible, it is already 4.5, that is halfway to the final objective.
Proudly designed in my city, São José dos Campos - SP, home of Embraer. I'm 35 y.o. Many of my friends and/or family members of my friends are involved in aviation or the Air Force. I know/knew many people directly involved in the projects of the KC 390, Super Tucanos, AMX (Italy co-op), many civil mid sized jets and even the VLS accident. Super smart people. Aviation is the proud of my city.
Easily one if my favorite modern planes. Its the F-22 of prop planes imho. It looks good, performs great, and is affordable. I wonder if Warthunder will add it
these days a Super Tucano intercepted a drug smuggling Cessna, people in the news comments section were shitting on the plane and on Brazilian air force due to its vintage looks, they expect the defense forces to use a several million dollars jet to attack a slow, low altitude and probably heavily overweight civilian plane
They make a civilian version? I like it. The A 29 kinda feels like an X-wing from Star Wars. Tough, capable, and pretty. I think it just entered my top 10 favorite planes list. I want one.
Then again when they start selling off the aging A-10... would it even be the Beautiful Warthog without the super gun? Not sure that would even be a feasible purchase.
In Vietnam we released a bunch of farmers who flew crop dusters in suped up Military trainer aircraft and they proceeded to perform *BETTER* than heavier attacker fighters like the A-4, F-105, Etc.

Here is the Brazilian auto-congratulating post you were looking for. "Somos outro nível" ... "a Nasa deve estudar noís" ... "BR não é para amadores" ... "this is the rythm of the night"... Vai, se solta, é aqui mesmo.
Nice video! But the biggest advantage of the plane is, it is also really cheap to maintain and operate. The cost per hour is very small and it could do most of patrol and support missions other more fancy planes would spend the triple to do.
Brazil lives with the dormant dilemma "bring our sovereignty back" with the issues of our national MBTs, fighter jets, tactical weapons, and the A29 is just the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, great video. 🇧🇷🙏🏾❤️
The way you said Super Tucano was perfect. We are so tired of seeing other people talking sjit about Brasil that whenever we see a foreigner pointing out the good aspects of Brasil or saying somethinf positive about us or our products and ideas, we are just filled with happiness. Im not an airplane guy and i still watched all of the video feeling very patriotic.
It's interesting, to me, that the Super Tucano is pretty much the same size and weight as the P-51 Mustang with similar flight performance. From what I can see. the only thing missing on the aircraft is any capacity for aireal refueling though that may be deliberate. In my opinion this is the aircraft the US should have bought instead of the OA-1K Sky Warden, which is based on a crop duster.
I don't think they have the same flight performance, as someone that already went to an airshow that had tucanos (And gripens!), they do some insane shi
@@existanimal0 It seems that the SkyWarden has a longer range and is better equipped for surveillance. Meanwhile, the Super Tucano is more combat-ready and has fewer electronic features. Although the SkyWarden can perform the Super Tucano's tasks with somewhat lower effectiveness, it appears to be more versatile. However, repurposing the Super Tucano for surveillance is more challenging.
@@fizzmoe9846 I wouldn't completely ignore attack helicopters. But at this point, the Apache is more like a flying sniper than an attack helicopter. Mostly I like turboprops because they're well suited to dispersed operations. Overall, I think the A-29 is best for training JTACs and drone defense. They're also good for general aviation training and launching small standoff munitions.
@ Absolutely. I agree they are likely functional/effective in a variety of situations. I just don’t think it’s very easy to fill the niche that any helicopter does. Except when a newer helicopter comes along. Even still, the role helicopters will play in future conflicts will look very different I believe. I believe helicopters may become mobile fleet commanders for drone operations. It could be done in any number of capacities or forms, but drones seem to be a very important development for now
What makes Embraer a premium company in the aviation world is the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA), a higher education institution maintained by the Brazilian Air Force that specializes in aeronautical, aerospace, computer, mechanical and electronic engineering. All students who pass the qualifying test automatically join the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and finish the course as Lieutenants. They do not pay to study, but they receive their salary from the first year of the course. At the end, they do not need to look for work because they are sought after by large engineering companies that hire them even during the course. At the end, if they do not want to work in the civilian world, they will remain in the FAB.
One thing that makes the A29 cool as a trainer is it's center of weight and how the turbo prop was positioned, it was made to give it a jet engine feeling, helping students to be ready for a jet plane in the future too.
The central government of Brazil should increase the budget for Embraer to build modern equipment since they have shown incredible results over decades.
At the moment it is ruled out because the current government is only thinking about public spending to try to stay in power. If the left leaves power in 2026, investments may even occur.
Embraer was born 100% as a Brazilian state enterprise like NASA in the USA. In 1994, it was sold to the private sector. The Brazilian state still owns a special class of shares.

Cheap and effective, Embraer nail it!
When the super Tucanos were just bought by Ecuador, the ecuadorian air force (FAE or Fuerza aerea ecuatoriana) used them to bomb an ilegal mining site with a lot of buldozers in the midle of ecuadorian amazon jungle. They were VERY precise on that operation.
This is the function of the Super Tucano, light, smooth attack, some idiots don't understand that for each job, there is a specific tool, they want to fight drug traffickers with F35 and long-range missiles, hahahaha.
I would hope so.. the avionics suite on these things is actually pretty high spec, to miss your target in one would be harder than hitting said target unless you turned all the targeting systems off.
I love the way you say "Super Tucano", fast and precise.
Yes "tucano", not "chucano"... hahaha
I made a voice over work for Embraer last week that presented this guy in a video and it made me super proud. 🇧🇷
I'm Brazilian. The Super Tucano was developed as the first step in the evolution of Brazilian military aviation. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Brazil has embarked on several programs to modernize its armed forces: the purchase of Gripen E/F fighters, the development of a domestically manufactured rifle (IA2), the modernization of Astros missile batteries, a nuclear submarine, etc.
The Super Tucano was a convergence of requirements. Brazil is a peaceful country that doesn't get involved in traditional conflicts, but has difficulty fighting parastatal enemies in the Amazon region. It is an aircraft with a low stall speed, could take off and land in unpaved runaways, has the ability to hit targets at a good distance, act in active and passive surveillance, if necessary, and Brazil needed an aircraft that would be a transition or training for pilots to operate in jet fighters. The ST should be able to act jointly with other air force fighters and have a datalink to coordinate with military personnel on the ground or in the air, and be able to take part in passive and active surveillance in real missions if the Amazon is invaded by another country. This explains the avionics technology and the high capacity to stay in the air for hours. Most interventions against drug-trafficking planes take 1 hour...1.5 hours to intercept due to the size of the Amazon rainforest
Boa explicacao😊
Brazilian engineers are very capable. They built a reliable, rugged and advanced machine which can have their capabilities expanded very far from the original specs. Now, we got working to convert E-195E2 into patrol aircrafts to retire the P-3 Orion and even plans to convert the KC-390 into a gunship if needed. If our politicians were more mature(and less corrupt) we could have a much larger(and better) defense portfolio.
Brazil already has the world's 10th largest military budget, but it's mostly squandered to pensions and cosseting. It's not any government's fault, the military has huge autonomy over its budget and prefers to profit to build strong capabilities.
In fact, one may even ask why should Brazil have an army, when its main threats would reach it by sea or by air, with no significant threat by land.
@@rafariffwe dont have any threats from land precisely because of our army, remember that armies are cheap (relative to air forces and navies) and even if not powerful enough to face a superpower (especially the western ones which are the ones more likely to attack us) in open, regular warfare, our army is very capable in terms of both anti guerrila and guerrila warfare, and we have units that can give this guerrila training to partisans all over the country, which is enough to dissuade even the most powerful armies of invading
now imagine if we were to try to reach the same effect through investments into the navy and air force, it would be much more expensive, and we would face way more resistence from other countries (especially the united states, that loves to get in our way anytime we try to modernize our armed forces)

As razões de Portugal não são claramente divulgadas, mas é uma aeronave desenhada especificamente para patrulha de fronteiras muito grandes como são as brasileiras, o que não é o caso das fronteiras continentais de Portugal, porém a capacidade de longos vôos e resiliência ao clima de floresta úmida, tempestades e umidade, o faz adequado para patrulha marítima contra pequenas embarcações, como as de pesca ilegal, também o fato de ter sido projetado para interceptar vôos de baixa altitude e baixa velocidade, e aí está a grande diferença dos jatos, o torna capaz de acompanhar o vôo lado a lado a uma pequena aeronave como um Piper, interpelar as intenções e se for o caso exigir o acompanhamento de vôo a um aeroporto para fiscalização, operação típica de combate ao tráfico. Um jato poderia derrubá-lo sim, mas não é essa a primeira função da patrulha, e entraria em stol se tentasse voar ao lado de uma pequena aeronave como essa para abordagem.
Por último, já demonstrou claramente a sua utilidade como aeronave de combate ao solo em guerra com insurgentes e guerrilhas, os jatos desenvolvidos para ataque ao solo foram projetados para destruir grandes colunas de blindados, não uma dúzia de obstinados dentro de uma trincheira, até fazem isso, mas a um custo 10x maior e uma autonomia de vôo bem menor.

Brazil has done well.
I'm surprised prop planes are not making a comeback with long-range drones being a threat. They are perfect for that. Their slow speed allows them to target the drones with on-board cannons the way jets cannot do. They are super-cheap and quick to manufacture and much more effective than firing wildly from the ground and much more cost-effective than missiles.
Why if you can have a drone do just that
I mean Ukraine is using an-2 biplanes for exactly that
Because they themselves are vulnerable in a contested airspace. As cheap as a super Tucano is it isn't as cheap as a stinger equivalent.
It's like that old World War 2 plane 'The Swordfish' which worked because it was like they took a plane from World War 1 and plonked it into the middle of World War 2.
@imakro69 how about bi-plane drone fighters?
For those of you wondering on the difference between the Super Tucano and the American Sky Warden...The A-29 Super Tucano is more combat-focused, with capabilities for close air support, and is well-suited for rapid-response attack missions in low-intensity conflict zones. L3 Harris' Sky Warden excels in ISR, with advanced sensor systems and long endurance, making it better/ideal for surveillance (8-10 hours vs. 6.5) and precision-targeting roles. Both serve their unique niches well, and the choice between them would depend on mission requirements, with the A-29 favored for attack missions and the Sky Warden for intelligence and surveillance-focused operations.
LOL the entire video I was just sat there thinking, “so it’s basically just a slightly bigger sky warden with an extra seat?”
@@dylancarls3235 You've got to appreciate an aircraft manufacturer calling itself Air Tractor!
@@dylancarls3235A little more than that. The Warden is a repurposed agricultural aircraft while the Super Tucano was designed from the ground up for the missions it performs.
Sky Warden is basically a scam. Are you telling me I need 60 million dollars to buy a crop duster? Give me the contract. I shall supply you 60 crop dusters for 60 million dollars and retire as a rich man
@ I definitely thought the same thing. It’s the ISR equipment on the Sky Warden. The Wescam MX-20 optical camera by itself costs $1.1M. I only know this because a couple of years ago I was playing around with idea of how much it would cost to take a F150, put 20 loitering munition launchers in the back in a palletized configuration and then attach a tethered drone for ISR and targeting. More than half the cost for the entire build was the Wescam. At those prices, I think there’s a market for someone who wants to compete in ISR cameras. A year ago I found out that Israel must’ve had the exact same idea because I saw my idea on one of their webpages.
Tucano & Super Tucano was developed into my structural design group and we are so proud to be that time as manager of a Embraer brilliant staff !

8:42 (and other times in this video) For those who might wonder what the significance of the "121,5" (or 121.5 for us 'Muricans), my very educated guess is that is the common communications "Emergency chat room" frequency used worldwide as a way to communicate between individual ground stations and airplanes - commercial, military or private. Stray into restricted airspace? Most likely, you will see a military plane like the Super Tucano off your wing flashing that number on a sign they carry to get in touch with you on the radio for instructions...
Correct, that's the airplane equivalent of the single police siren signal, the best "pull over" you can do when at 100s of mph and 1000s ft high
You're listening to 121.5, *THE GUARD*
this is how you get "pulled over" by the brazilian air force! 99% of the time is just air force cadets training this procedure over the amazon (pilots flying around the region are pretty used to it, there might be videos of it on yt but only in portuguese 😢). sometimes we do be catching some smugglers tho! they usually emergency land the plane and set it on fire after the warning shots. been a while since someone was actually taken down

Great vid!
That entire clip barely mentioned the number one feature where the Super Tucano beats modern jet fighters: cost. You can buy a dozen of them for the equivalent of one jet fighter. People keep forgetting how expensive jet fighters are. They cost several thousand dollars an hour on fuel, and that's just scratching the surface, not to mention maintenance. Jet fighters are great against other jet fighters and modern naval fleets. But on anything else, such as terrorists, they're overkill. Another thing they can be good for is testing pilots in combat. The pilots who do the best can then be promoted to fly fighter jets.
I think its fly cost by hour is like a 10th or less than an A-10, give it or take, while also not needing as much maintenance and logistics. For less contested airspaces and not having a 10km line of MBTs to disable, it does the job very well 😅
Now, what i really want is one of those videos that plays out how the Super Tucano would fair in WW2. That would be a fun one.

I love how Embraer make an aircraft with everything we have in the market with high technologies, and put in turbo prop plane, with XX century designer, i love my country
Designed by a Hungarian engineer who emigrated to Brazil in 1948 after a short stint in the French Foreign Legion. His surname is Kovács.
"Everything we have in the market"
I mean hardly, it's nice don't get me wrong but I don't see a modern advanced radar or electronics warfare system and it's not really stealth, which is fine and I'm not saying it's not a good weapons platform. It's just not "everything we have in the market with high technologies".
It's a great concept. Affordable. Tough. Tremendous loiter time.
The pre-Taliban Afghan Air Force, such as it was, were using these to apparently good effect against the Taliban.
Aircraft of this type generally do not use radar.
In the case of Brazil, it is vectored via Data link by ground radars or awacs aircrafts.
Radar stealth is not a fundamental requirement for such aircraft, on the contrary it could compromise performance and control at low altitude and speed.
It is an US$ 18 million aircraft, it makes use of the best in the market...
@@saturnats The proposed AGM-183A ARRW missile is estimated to cost ~$15million USD, and the Khinzal is $10million. Hypersonic technology is expensive. Not long from now, it'll be possible to load the Supertucano with missiles that are more expensive than the plane.
I'm not sure why anyone would do that. Hilarious forested runway for surprise hypersonic action? It definitely explains why they're so successful in other nations, though. When major powers are spending millions on disposable ordinance, this plane is an investment for years of fun.

It's interesting, to me, that the Super Tucano is pretty much the same size and weight as the P-51 Mustang with similar flight performance.
From what I can see. the only thing missing on the aircraft is any capacity for aireal refueling though that may be deliberate.
In my opinion this is the aircraft the US should have bought instead of the OA-1K Sky Warden, which is based on a crop duster.

@@existanimal0 It seems that the SkyWarden has a longer range and is better equipped for surveillance. Meanwhile, the Super Tucano is more combat-ready and has fewer electronic features.

The Super Tucano is a better investment for modern militaries than attack helicopters. Cheaper and faster with the same vulnerabilities.

@@fizzmoe9846 I wouldn't completely ignore attack helicopters. But at this point, the Apache is more like a flying sniper than an attack helicopter. Mostly I like turboprops because they're well suited to dispersed operations.
Overall, I think the A-29 is best for training JTACs and drone defense. They're also good for general aviation training and launching small standoff munitions.
@ Absolutely. I agree they are likely functional/effective in a variety of situations. I just don’t think it’s very easy to fill the niche that any helicopter does. Except when a newer helicopter comes along. Even still, the role helicopters will play in future conflicts will look very different I believe. I believe helicopters may become mobile fleet commanders for drone operations. It could be done in any number of capacities or forms, but drones seem to be a very important development for now

What makes Embraer a premium company in the aviation world is the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA), a higher education institution maintained by the Brazilian Air Force that specializes in aeronautical, aerospace, computer, mechanical and electronic engineering. All students who pass the qualifying test automatically join the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and finish the course as Lieutenants. They do not pay to study, but they receive their salary from the first year of the course. At the end, they do not need to look for work because they are sought after by large engineering companies that hire them even during the course. At the end, if they do not want to work in the civilian world, they will remain in the FAB.
A29 super tucano is one of the few things I'm proud of as a Brazilian myself 🇧🇷...
America has our own similar plane, the T-6 Texan II, but even so, the USAF has shown some interest in the Super Tucano. Truly a cool plane.
Different capabilities, but yeah, look similar.
The Super Tucano is larger, faster, and has a higher max gross.
One thing that makes the A29 cool as a trainer is it's center of weight and how the turbo prop was positioned, it was made to give it a jet engine feeling, helping students to be ready for a jet plane in the future too.
The central government of Brazil should increase the budget for Embraer to build modern equipment since they have shown incredible results over decades.
At the moment it is ruled out because the current government is only thinking about public spending to try to stay in power. If the left leaves power in 2026, investments may even occur.
In the Philippines some us called this plane “Tora-tora” this is based on a WWII Japanese propeller planes.
Sorry but the A-29 has absolutely nothing to do with Japanese WW2 fighters.
The ignorance here is just sad
Wang kag mag kalat ng ka bobohan mo ditu
@@saito125 exato,ele tem uma semelhança maior com o P-51 americano,na verdade é um P-51 moderno possa se dizer e não deixa de ser bom por isso.
The way Simon says Super Tucano is very pleasant.
They are Badass!!!!
Always great to see super tucanos getting the respect it need it. ^^
Great video.
It's a cool little plane.
Embraer was born 100% as a Brazilian state enterprise like NASA in the USA. In 1994, it was sold to the private sector. The Brazilian state still owns a special class of shares.
