 I would like to ammend my previous post regarding the Brazilian S-70B/SH-16 Seahawk. After failing to find reports on the use of sonobuoys by Brazilian Navy aircraft I submitted a request for information on the topic. I just got the response and it turns out the Brazilian Navy DOES NOT make use of sonobuoys in any of its current aircraft (just helicopters, as its only fixed-wing aircraft is the A-4).
