The Força Aerea Portuguesa (Portuguese Air Force) is interested in the EMB314 Super Tucano as a possible replacement for the Alpha Jet, which was retired in January 2018.
On 17 November 2020, an Embraer EMB314 Super Tucano, registration PT-ZTU, was photographed at Monte Real (Base Aerea 5) being showed to the Portuguese military.
The interest in the Super Tucano is not a strange one with regards to the acquisition of another Embraer product by the Portuguese Air Force, the KC-390 Millennium transport aircraft. At this stage it is unknown if an order for the Super Tucano will materialize and how many aircraft could be involved.
