There's just something really cool about an old school, retro looking prop plane that can handle itself in the modern day. It's like having a retro Mini Cooper that can keep up with a Porsche 911.
Only the Mini Cooper - Original - was sh*t. Like most "classics". The only mini keeping up with a 911, isn't a Mini in original form. Where as the 911 is... 😅
Here in Indonesia, the Super Tucanos are based only 80 Kms from where I live, these beauties were bought for the Air Force to replace the legendary OV-10F Broncos for COIN tasks. Our province also home for a squadron of F-16C/D based around 150 Kms west of where the Tucanos based. Kudos to the Brazilian, their aviation industry are the envy of developing nations such as our's
I'm surprised prop planes are not making a comeback with long-range drones being a threat. They are perfect for that. Their slow speed allows them to target the drones with on-board cannons the way jets cannot do. They are super-cheap and quick to manufacture and much more effective than firing wildly from the ground and much more cost-effective than missiles.
It's like that old World War 2 plane 'The Swordfish' which worked because it was like they took a plane from World War 1 and plonked it into the middle of World War 2.
Filipino here, thank God relatively cheap Counter Insurgency aircraft like these and Tai T129 exists. Other low budget countries would have been fucked years ago if it weren't for this, look up the recent Philippine Communist Insurgents War just this year.
I love how Embraer make an aircraft with everything we have in the market with high technologies, and put in turbo prop plane, with XX century designer, i love my country
"Everything we have in the market" I mean hardly, it's nice don't get me wrong but I don't see a modern advanced radar or electronics warfare system and it's not really stealth, which is fine and I'm not saying it's not a good weapons platform. It's just not "everything we have in the market with high technologies".
It's a great concept. Affordable. Tough. Tremendous loiter time. The pre-Taliban Afghan Air Force, such as it was, were using these to apparently good effect against the Taliban.
For those of you wondering on the difference between the Super Tucano and the American Sky Warden...The A-29 Super Tucano is more combat-focused, with capabilities for close air support, and is well-suited for rapid-response attack missions in low-intensity conflict zones. L3 Harris' Sky Warden excels in ISR, with advanced sensor systems and long endurance, making it better/ideal for surveillance (8-10 hours vs. 6.5) and precision-targeting roles. Both serve their unique niches well, and the choice between them would depend on mission requirements, with the A-29 favored for attack missions and the Sky Warden for intelligence and surveillance-focused operations.
It's interesting, to me, that the Super Tucano is pretty much the same size and weight as the P-51 Mustang with similar flight performance. From what I can see. the only thing missing on the aircraft is any capacity for aireal refueling though that may be deliberate. In my opinion this is the aircraft the US should have bought instead of the OA-1K Sky Warden, which is based on a crop duster.
I don't think they have the same flight performance, as someone that already went to an airshow that had tucanos (And gripens!), they do some insane shi
8:42 (and other times in this video) For those who might wonder what the significance of the "121,5" (or 121.5 for us 'Muricans), my very educated guess is that is the common communications "Emergency chat room" frequency used worldwide as a way to communicate between individual ground stations and airplanes - commercial, military or private. Stray into restricted airspace? Most likely, you will see a military plane like the Super Tucano off your wing flashing that number on a sign they carry to get in touch with you on the radio for instructions...
These turboprop attackers are just cool as hell. I love that America's version, the AT-6, is called the "Wolverine" You guys should do a video on that if you haven't already.
Amazing ! Congrats for the show. I am proud now for the Brasilian airplane industry EMBRAER that also has the third place in civilian air class airplane with the new E class jets with up to 150 passangers.
Aircraft designed for mid to high altitude operation know to stay away from low altitude confrontations with aircraft designed for low altitude. In explanation, no F-16 pilot in his right mind would follow an A-10 into low-level terrain because the F-16 will be fighting the thick air while the A-10 circles around behind or just comes in head on. For all the new tech added to the A-10, it is not a patrol craft any where near the Super Tucano. It is for going after fairly well equipped armies, not insurgents.
If a CAS aircraft has to have a prop, then my dream bird would be a modernized P-51 Mustang or an OV-10 Bronco! I think a modernized version of those birds could fill that role superbly! A boy can dream…lol!
Terms of hardpoints it's quite similar to the F-5E tiger 2. Given how successful a platform the Super Tucano is an updated F-5E design with modern avionics and countermeasures could also be quite successful.
Note to the video's editor... As always, a great video, but there's only one thing... Please drop the background music... It's very distracting and not necessary for this channel's content...
I’d love to own one of these for private use, although turboprop powerplants are expensive to maintain. Fun as hell to fly and decent cruise speed Idk about range but probably not what best private jets can do
There is a “range equation“ which factors in range, (all-up) weight, fuel fraction, and (cruising) speed. If range is the criterion, an executive jet will outrange a (single-engined) turboprop, but only because it can carry more fuel, not because a(ny) typical turbofan has superior fuel efficiency.
The un-armed trainer can be purchased, but the avionics are downgraded to shit. Not worth the price, when you can buy a fast stunt plane, that looks about the same, by half or less.
It would be a perfect drone interceptor due to the low speed and long flight time, has potential to be a powerful away to deal with drones that we see both in Israel and Ukraine.
OV-10 Bronco. Just think what could have been done with an updated OV-10. Twin engine reliability, an ability to carry hundreds of pounds of cargo, or special forces troops in the back, as was supposedly done in Viet Nam. If only........😎
Aside from avionics, how does this compare to a P-51 or a Spitfire? Slower top speed, less flight radius. I know very little about fighter aircraft; it just seems to me two of the greatest war air machines ever built should have been considered for rebuilding for the niche occupied by the Super Tucano. Just wondering, please reply with data...
This is primarily an air to ground plane built by Brazil. The 2 planes you referenced are primarily air to air with some ability to attack ground targets. Different missions.
Cool video for sure, but not exactly mega. A lot of recent videos have the same issue because you’ve absolutely nailed every real mega project in history! Should we expect a rebranding to “Big projects” sometime soon?

You don't put these in contested airspace but it's better to put these within airspace that you completely control or just gained air dominance. (Or extremely risky spec-ops insertions. And considering the nature of the Ukrainian-Russian battlefield, it's better to use them behind friendly lines.)

Why if you can have a drone do just that
I mean Ukraine is using an-2 biplanes for exactly that
Because they themselves are vulnerable in a contested airspace. As cheap as a super Tucano is it isn't as cheap as a stinger equivalent.
It's like that old World War 2 plane 'The Swordfish' which worked because it was like they took a plane from World War 1 and plonked it into the middle of World War 2.
@imakro69 how about bi-plane drone fighters?

Designed by a Hungarian engineer who emigrated to Brazil in 1948 after a short stint in the French Foreign Legion. His surname is Kovács.
"Everything we have in the market"

Correct, that's the airplane equivalent of the single police siren signal, the best "pull over" you can do when at 100s of mph and 1000s ft high
I always group the super tucano, the sky warden, and bronco under the same category in my head of "surprisingly effective turbo prop attack plane"
Bring back the A1 skyraider!
Those things are boss!
What names comes next, the Ultra Tucano?
Lmao thatd be great
Hyper Tucano will come after that.
Ultra High Hiper Tucano ....
That's Super Tucano's evil twin in a parallel universe.
The Giga Tucano
These turboprop attackers are just cool as hell.
I love that America's version, the AT-6, is called the "Wolverine"
You guys should do a video on that if you haven't already.
Big plus for including a clip from Hot Shots

For all the new tech added to the A-10, it is not a patrol craft any where near the Super Tucano. It is for going after fairly well equipped armies, not insurgents.
Indeed, a primary design criterion for the nascent A-10 was its ability to turn within the turning circle of an F-16.
brazilian magic 🔥🔥
You need to see F-39 , that won the F-15
OV 10 BRONCO should be upgraded and commissioned as CAS. BRONCO is suitable because 2 engines for better survivability....
If a CAS aircraft has to have a prop, then my dream bird would be a modernized P-51 Mustang or an OV-10 Bronco! I think a modernized version of those birds could fill that role superbly! A boy can dream…lol!
It's a cool little plane.
lol awesome intro. It’s a woh full lil prop plane. That will kick the shit out of you

In the Philippines some us called this plane “Tora-tora” this is based on a WWII Japanese propeller planes.

"In Indonesia, they've helped quell unrest in several... rested areas" 🤣🤣
I remember the Nigerian Government buy a number of this from the US to fight insurgency .
Air pah. Nice 😊
How would these compare to the P51D Mustang and other WW2 fighters?
Portugal will be the first to buy the A29N, the NATO standard version
great aircraft
You need to see the F-39 Gripen. It won F-15 Eagle...
When you buy all the premium upgrades and unlocks.
Malzi has definitely seen an A10 shrug off a tank round at some point.
Yeah legendary aircraft down here in Colombia they bombed bad and good guys a like 😂
The A-10 is certainly adept at blue-on-blue kills. Ask 🇬🇧Warrior crews.
cool
12:30 did y'all really use a clip from Hot Shots??? 😂
Does Embraer sell a civilian version?
Not yet

Tucano can carry 3700lbs P51 could only carry 2000. Tucano even beats the mighty P47 (2500 ish) and only loses to the underated F4u +/- 4000 lbs

Im surprised it can take off with the size of the nuts the pilot has to have to fly a prop plane into combat
Still no Apache?
Prop planes will always be cool af. Jet engines are to planes what electric engines are to cars, no personality.
The backing music is quite intrusive and unnecessary, otherwise interesting vid.
To be fair, an A-10 will not survive a direct shot from a tank.
"Propellor-plane' is a pretty puerile term.... it's a turboprop. It's like saying 'choo-choo train'.
