Brazilian airforce comander in chief announced this week that some 5 used F-5E are being purchased from the Royal Saudi Air Force and should be used to convert a fighter training squadron in Natal to a F-5BR OCU unit. There is also discussion of setting up of up to two new Air defense squadrons (GDAs)… but these are only wishes at this stage.. There´s talk of some 5/10 additional F-5E also from the RSAF could be procured to increase F-5 numbers in the FAB…
