 | The AMX was originally conceived as a replacement for Italy's aging fleet of G91 and F-104 attack fighters. |
 | The AMX then became a joint venture of three firms to develop a light attack fighter for both Italy and Brazil. |
 | The AMX designers also put great emphasis on upgradability, and a fuselage bay can be easily fitted with several types of reconnaissance palets or other mission-specific avionics. |
