Venezuela selects AMX

Article Abstract:

Aermacchi has received an order from the Venezuelan Air Force for an unspecified number of AMX light strike aircraft. The order follows the recent decision by the Venezuelan Air Force to purchase the Aermacchi SF-260E primary trainer and MB-339FD advanced trainer. The order also marks the first export contract for the AMX, which was developed and produced under an Italian-Brazilian cooperation program. The Venezuelan Air Force will purchase the ATA (Advanced Training and Attack) two-seat combat capable version of the AMX.

MPA/R no more

Article Abstract:

The German-Italian Maritime Patrol Aircraft Replacement programme (MPA/R) was formally terminated on 30 June 2003 and the bidders were informed that the evaluation of their respective proposals was closed. The joint effort of the programme, which was intended to define a complete airframe and mission system, was losing its impulse and hence it was finally terminated.
