Brazil selected the Saab JAS 39E/F Gripen in 2014 to replace ageing Mirage 2000 and F-5 fleets, with local assembly and support through Embraer under the F-X2 fighter programme. The Força Aérea Brasileira designates the type F-39E, and initial operational capability arrived in the early 2020s with aircraft based at Anápolis Air Base in Goiás. The FA-50 Fighting Eagle — marketed as Golden Eagle in export and community parlance — evolved from Korea Aerospace Industries' T-50 supersonic trainer programme, which Lockheed Martin helped shape so ROKAF pilots could transition cleanly into KF-16 and F-15K fleets. First flight came in 2011; ROKAF declared initial operational capability in 2013 and ordered sixty aircraft through 2016 to replace F-5E/F and A-37 Dragonfly light attack types. The Panavia Tornado ECR was Germany's answer to NATO's suppression-of-enemy-air-defences requirement — a two-seat variant of the IDS strike bomber with cannon bays repurposed for Emitter Location System hardware and RB199 Mk 105 engines to carry AGM-88 HARM missiles at standoff range. TaktLwG 51 Immelmann, named for First World War ace Max Immelmann, operates from Schleswig Air Base at Jagel in Schleswig-Holstein and absorbed the ECR fleet when Fighter Bomber Wing 32 disbanded at Lechfeld in April 2013, consolidating Germany's Wild Weasel capability under one wing alongside tactical reconnaissance and maritime strike roles.
