Bolivian interest in Pampa III

-

The Bolivian government is reportedly considerin­g acquiring the IA-63 Pampa III light attack aircraft from Argentina, between eight and 12 Pampa IIIs being selected. The Pampa IIIs would replace AT/T-33s recently retired by the Fuerza Aérza Boliviana (FAB, Bolivian Air Force). Following a memorandum of understand­ing signed by both countries in September 2015, arms transfer began in July.

Meanwhile, the first four from a total of 12 T-6C+ aircraft were delivered to the Fuerza Aérea Argentina (FAA, Argentine Air Force) on 2 October arriving in Córdoba province from Wichita, Kansas, to be assigned to the School of Military Aviation. The next four Texan IIs will arrive next June and the last four in December 2018.
