Appears highly likely if not unequivocally confirmed for Morocco and likely for UAE and Chile (subject to confirmation) . https://www.scramble.nl/military-news/morocco-new-customer-for-the-c-390-millennium https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/aerospace-news/2024/morocco-selects-brazilian-embraer-c-390-millennium-to-replace-c-130-hercules-transport-fleet https://x.com/kharchoufibra/status/1843673203115471156?t=6dsvn67bbEvS9RO48qRntw&s=19 Graphic from Embraer is pretty intriguing ?

India and Saudi offset technology transfer and production deals being proferred too. Too soon to speculate. WIP
