Obama, the undocument tyrant from the 57 States,
is doing this also to make the US military vulnerable
to Iranian computer software that can decimate the
US with the push of Obama’s, or other Mullah’s, switch.

I would bet dollars to doughnut holes that George Soros is heavily-invested in Embraer.

BTW the Tucano looks damn near looks like the same aircraft as the AT-6.

Why, oh why, don’t we have a law stating that our military and government contracts MUST be awarded to American manufacturers?

It is very obvious, he does not have an alliance to America and wants to (as Soros says) knock her off her pedestal. Where is Congress?

From the article “The piston planes are designed..”.. just because it has a propeller doesn't mean its a “piston driven airplane”.
It's a PT-6 Turboprop.. that's a turbine engine... stupid a$$ed journalist

I hope the unions at Hawker Beechcraft and elsewhere put 2 + 2 together about their boy wonder.

The Super T has a more suitable airframe but the Beech has better weapons systems integration.

The Super T can be bought off the shelf and the AT -6 is a development project several years out .

The Air Force may want to buy the airframes while they have the funds.

It may be a question of of buying the Super T now or waiting for the AT-6 and never having any delivered

Brazil's Embraer aircraft company build's milit ary aircraft for Iran.

15 Trainers in 1989. Were the Iranians the good guys or bad guys then? I forget.

“The Beechcraft T-6 production line employs a total of 1400 people in 20 states.” If they are not union employees, it would go a long way towards explaining the Brazilian order.

Here's another article from Redstate about this:

Obama Administration Sends Weapons Contract to Foreign Company with Ties to Iran

It appears that the head of the international association of machinists, the union that represents Beechcraft's employees had some not-so-nice things to say about Dear Leader. Direct link to video here

Very discouraging that the USA can no longer build a good prop fighter any more. Was not to long ago that we build the best.

What is that line about “destroying from the inside”? When will The People get sick of this treachery and rise up to stop it?

“The decision appears to favor the Super Tucano built by Brazil’s Embraer....”

.
I wonder how many congresscritters bought Embraer stock last month.
