Did you know Argentineans pilots helped the Brazilian Army to learn to use this planes on a carrier and gain some experience?
Many joint exercices have been done :)
Brazilian A-4 have been modernizated??
Thomas,
Yes, Argentina helped Brazilian NAVY pilots, but you can't forget that it was just a litle % of the pilot's skill. Most of the trainament was in the United States, where this pilots flew in US aircraft carriers and the Brazilian Navy spent U$ 1 million to train each pilot there. Anyway, the Argentine Armada helped a lot.
The 23 A-4KU of the Brazilian Navy will receive an upgrade soon. The Embraer is talking with the Brazilian Navy to upgrade it in the same avionics of the F-5BR, AMX A-1M and the ALX. So when it's done, the A-4 of the Navy will can receive and send information with this fighters and with the R-99A AEW&C and the R-99B RS/AGS of the Brazilian Air Force.
