In exchange, France has agreed to buy around a dozen KC-390 military cargo planes, made by Brazil's Embraer . That contract is worth around 500 million euros, the source said.
Brazil would assemble Rafale fighter jets under an imminent deal with France, and could sell them to other Latin American nations, Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said Monday.
His comments came after Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and visiting French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced that Brazil had started talks to acquire 36 Rafale combat planes in a deal worth billions of dollars.
