What Hype is tracking

  • Marks the start of Uruguay’s fleet renewal: two A‑29s delivered under a late‑2024 modernisation package that includes mission equipment, logistics support and a flight simulator — immediate implications for training and sustainment.
  • Direct capability uplift: the Super Tucanos expand the FAU’s aerial patrol, border surveillance and low‑intensity strike mission set with a rugged, proven turboprop platform.
