For two days, two Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets belonging to the Italian Air Force deployed for the first time ever to Graf Ignatievo in Bulgaria.
Belonging to the 4° Stormo (Wing) from Grosseto, the 4.5 Generation aircraft conducted joint training with Soviet-era MiG -21 and MiG -29 fighter jets still in service with the Bulgarian Air Force.
The two Typhoons were accompanied by a C -130J Hercules and a total of 35 people including pilots and specialists.
All six planned sorties involving Bulgarian Fulcrums were successfully launched; overall the Typhoon flew about 15 hours, including the ferry flights to/from Graf Ignatievo.
