[pampa14]

The link below provides exclusive pictures taken this morning and a report related to FAB 7103 (c/n 110488), the first modernized P-95 delivered to the Brazilian Air Force and assigned to the Second Squadron of the Eighth Aviation Group, based in Florianópolis Air Force Base / SC. A total of eight P-95 will be modernized (four to Florianopolis and four for Belém / PA). Changes include a new radar and new navigation systems, sensors and digital cockpit. I count on your visit. Very soon I hope to bring more detailed pictures of the aircraft and a full report. Stay tuned!

Very cool, good to see Brazil ramping up it's military capabilities to match it's growing economic and political power on the world stage. Brazil and India have a lot of potential for greater cooperation and trade.

Brazil is in a better position than India given that Embraer is much ahead of our HAL when it comes to making airplanes. Kudos to Brazil, and full marks to self sufficiency in this sector.
