Brazil is hoping to secure a better deal on its planned multibillion-dollar revamp of the air force combat inventory with the possible purchase of up to 36 new jet fighters.
Officials say a decision on the fighter jet deal is unlikely before next year.
More than two years after Brazil revived its FX-2 program to re-equip the Brazilian air force with next-generation jet fighters, outlook on the Latin American country’s purchase plans remains unclear.
