The first two F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft from the new batch of five that will be part of the Romanian Air Force arrived, today, from Portugal, at the 86th Air Base "Lieutenant aviator Gheorghe Mociornita", from Borcea.
The next two aircraft will be delivered by the end of this year, and the last - in the first quarter of next year.
The acquisition of five more F-16 aircraft will ensure the increase of Romania's security, through the permanent execution of the defense of the national airspace in time of peace and in crisis situations, through the permanent combat service of the Air Police, under NATO command, it is specified in a communique of the Ministry of National Defense.
