“We are honoured to participate in LAAD 2025 to showcase our state-of-the-art portfolio and comprehensive solutions for air, land, sea, space, and cyber. This event provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships with customers and partners worldwide.”
One of Embraer‘s flagship defence products is the KC-390 Millennium, a multi-mission military aircraft that has been extremely reliable and capable.

The KC-390 Millennium has been purchased by 10 air forces, many of which are NATO members. Sweden and Slovakia recently chose the plane as its next tactical transport aircraft. Present clients include Brazil, Portugal, Hungary, South Korea, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, and an undisclosed nation.
