Brazil’s Embraer announced on Friday that it has signed a contract to sell two C-390 Millennium transport aircraft but did not disclose its new customer.
Other countries that have selected the C-390 include Brazil, Slovakia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Morocco, and South Korea, while South Africa is in advanced talks.
The KC-390 Millennium aircraft can carry up to 80 fully equipped soldiers or two armoured tactical vehicles.
In addition, the platform features advanced self-protection systems, including an infrared countermeasure that uses laser beams and has sophisticated electronics that allow for secure, encrypted navigation and communication.
The Millennium can perform aerial refuelling and medical evacuation operations in addition to transporting cargo and personnel.
