The Embraer Super Tucano just about fits the description. The Shorts doesn't. The option was there to fit it with hard points like the export version, but it was delivered during the Conventional Forces Europe regulations and would have risked being classified as a combat aircraft if it had.

The only viable option is a new purchase of Super Tucanos. which isn't beyond the realms of impossibility.
