Brazilian aerospace company Embraer has announced the sale of two C-390 Millennium military transport aircraft to an undisclosed nation, marking the tenth country to select this model. The C-390 is designed for various missions including troop and vehicle transport, humanitarian aid, disaster management, and medical evacuation.
Embraer's announcement stated that the contract includes "a comprehensive training and support package as well as the supply of spare parts." The identity of the purchasing country remains unknown; however, it is not believed to be a nation under U.S. sanctions due to the use of U.S.-manufactured components in the aircraft.
Speculation suggests Morocco could be the buyer. Earlier reports indicated Morocco was negotiating with Embraer to replace its aging C-130 Hercules fleet with C-390s. Additionally, promotional materials at an Embraer event featured Morocco's flag among other contracting nations.
