Page "Brazilian Armed Forces" Paragraph 87

The A-1s are the main attack / bomber aircraft of the FAB.

There are three squadrons operating the A-1, one of them equipped with the RA-1 variant having a reconnaissance function as its primary role, but retaining all attack capabilities of the A-1.

The RA-1s are equipped with RAFAEL's RecceLite reconnaissance system.

Like the F-5, the A-1 is under a MLU ( Mid Life Upgrade ) program as well, this upgrade giving a high commonality between the avionics of the A-1M ( MLU aircraft designation ), the F-5M and the newly introduced Embraer A / T-29.
