On the agenda of their talks was, among other things, the planned training of Brazilian pilots in Czech Army’s special simulation centre. Minister Stropnický has also visited the Embraer company, which produces military cargo aircraft using parts supplied by the Czech manufacturer Aero Vodochody. However, he has not confirmed if the Czech Army would be interested in their purchase.
