Lockheed Martin completes first F-16 Block 72 test
Lockheed Martin announced the successful first test flight of the F-16 Block 72 aircraft designated for the Royal Moroccan Air Force, as part of a program to modernize the fighter fleet and enhance the Kingdom's air capabilities. The Block 72 version features advanced sensors, modern electronics, and upgraded mission systems, with a design life of 12,000 flight hours. This step is part of a broader plan to enable Morocco to modernize its armed forces, which includes purchasing American military equipment such as Apache helicopters, Abrams tanks, and guided missile systems, with an investment estimated at several billion dollars.
