Greece moved to buy three Brazilian-made Embraer C-390 transport planes worth about 690 million dollars, the latest European win over a US rival.
Greece approved three Embraer C-390 planes (€550-600m), the latest European buyer since 2021, displacing the dominant American C-130. The shift signals NATO's appetite for non-US defense suppliers, driven by cost-of-ownership advantages and supply-chain diversification.
