According to a Press Release published by the DSCA, the prime contractor will be Textron Aviation Defense LLC of Wichita, Kansas.

It also stated that the proposed sale will replace Tunisia’s aging trainer fleet and allow Tunisia to continue training pilots to support Tunisia’s counter-terrorism and border security missions. Tunisia will have no difficulty absorbing this aircraft into its armed forces.

The Beechcraft’s (formerly Hawker Beechcraft) T-6C Texan II next-generation military flight trainer aircraft is an improved version of the T-6B Texan II primary aircraft training system.

The aircraft provides reliable training operations with less maintenance and operating costs, providing embedded synthetic air-to-ground and air-to-air training solutions, while also supporting simulated combat training tasks.
