NATO exercise in Istrana: «A deterrent, it demonstrates integration between allies»

Commander Emanuele Chiadroni presented the "Poggio dart 23".

The 51st Wing, until next June 2024,
will have total responsibility for controlling the airspace of northern Italy
until the work on the runway of the Grosseto military airport is completed.

A few days ago the last intervention in Albenga for a small tourist plane.

Amx towards retirement: in April 2024 they will be decommissioned

Only two days ago two fighters intervened from Istrana to Albenga (Imperia) to intercept a small aircraft that had not communicated its flight plan and was in radio silence.

This is the seventh alarm of this type in 2023.

In April 2024, meanwhile, the air force will definitively retire the old AMXs,
used since 1989 and now obsolete,
replaced by the most modern Eurofighters.
