“The agreement signed by the NDMA will help strengthen the air power of one of our allies, at the same time as it will generate revenues for both Norwegian industry and the Norwegian state,” said Norwegian Minister of Defence, Bjørn Arild Gram.

All jets will be modified to the M6.5.2 Romanian configuration prior to delivery starting next year.

  1. Is the Mig-29 killer F-16C included in the deal to either Romania and Draken as it was Norway’s plan to retire the Mig-29 killer F-16C to a museum as they considered that F-16C a historical aircraft which accomplished something no other aircraft has done since WW2.
