Turkmenistan's air force operating new M-346FA, C-27J, and A-29B aircraft

摘要

Video footage released by Turkmenistan's state-owned media indicates that the country's air force is operating three newly acquired aircraft types: the Leonardo M-346FA light attack aircraft, the Embraer A-29B Super Tucano turboprop trainer/light attack aircraft, and the Leonardo C-27J Spartan tactical transport aircraft. At least two examples each of the M-346FA and C-27J as well as one A-29B were featured in a 1 August news report released by the Altyn Asyr media network about President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow's visit to an airbase in Turkmenistan's western Balkan Region.
