The Ghana Air Force hosted an event to promote the A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to the defence minister and other senior officials and officers on 19 February.

The demonstration was put on by Embraer, the Super Tucano's designer, and Sierra Nevada Corp (SNC), which produces the aircraft for US Foreign Military Sales customers, at Air Force Base Accra and was live-streamed by the air force via YouTube.

In his speech, Air Vice-Marshal Frederick Asare Kwasi Bekoe said the demonstration would “provide a platform for collaboration and negotiations between Sierra Nevada Corp and Embraer Defense & Security for future acquisition”.

He added that the Ghana Air Force considers the Super Tucano to be an “appropriate platform to enhance our deterrent and offensive posture within the sub-region”. Noting that the Super Tucano is rugged, versatile, and relatively cheap to operate, he said it could be used for countering terrorists, insurgents, and pirates, as well as for border security.
