Embraer has delivered its first EMB-314 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to the Mauritanian air force, under a deal announced earlier this year.
The aircraft will be used for border surveillance missions. The African nation's Super Tucano configuration includes an electro-optical/infrared sensor turret and centreline hardpoint for air-to-surface weapons beneath the fuselage, plus wing-housed cannons.
Mauritania's purchase was announced by Embraer in March, but the manufacturer has not formally revealed how many aircraft its contract is for.
