Anything more would be overkill. I mean, the Reps don't even rise to the level of "varmints" this year.

Brazil's Embraer aircraft wins U.S. Defense contract - Yahoo! Finance

The aircraft will be supplied in partnership with U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) as the prime contractor, and will be used to conduct advanced flight training, aerial reconnaissance and light air support operations.

You'd need to ask Sierra-Nevada why they are building it in Brazil instead of here.

Like I said about that BratPhart........

More than 70 U.S. suppliers in 21 states will supply parts or services for this contract. At least 1,200 U.S. jobs will be supported through this contract.

Ok...I'm confused...

My source (Reuters), says it will be build in Brazil, by what appears to be a subsidiary or partner of Sierra-Nevada.

Your source mentions both companies, but states it will be built here in the US.

EDIT:

I take that back, upon re-reading, my article does not specify to build location, so yours is probably correct.
