Brazilian Air Force's A-29 Super Tucanos Intercept Cocaine-Carrying Plane
Brazilian A-29 Super Tucano aircraft on Sunday intercepted a light plane carrying 500kg of cocaine.
In an official statement, the Air Force said “two A-29 Super Tucano planes were scrambled to track and intercept the aircraft.”
After the pilot of a single-engine aircraft failed to respond by radio and refused to follow the order to land at the certain airfield, the warplanes fired warning shots.
After the plane landed in a rural area in the state of Sao Paulo, a police squad arrived at the scene to find 500kg of coca paste on board. The two smugglers from the plane fled and are still at large.
