Moroccan F-16 Block 72 Completes First Flight

The first F-16 Block 72 aircraft designated for Morocco successfully completed its first test flight, as part of the program initiated by the kingdom to acquire and upgrade its military air fleet. This fighter jet is among the latest versions of the F-16 and is characterized by an advanced electronics suite and improved systems to enhance performance and safety, with flight tests expected to be completed before delivery. The aircraft's structural design has approximately 12,000 flight hours, which boosts its capability for long and continuous operations. This step is part of a deal valued at nearly $3.8 billion signed between Morocco and the United States in 2019, aimed at strengthening the country's defense and air forces.
