by Igor Bozinovski
Romania is to buy surplus Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon combat aircraft from Norway to add to the former Portuguese aircraft it currently fields.
Romanian Defence Minister Vasile Dîncu said on 10 December that Bucharest is looking to acquire 32 Royal Norwegian Air Force F-16s that are to be sold with the arrival of the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lighting II in that country.
The deal is expected to be valued at EUR454 million (USD513 million), and would see the F-16s service with the Romanian Air Force (Forțele Aeriene Romane: RoAF) for 10 years.
