F-35A fighter jets land on Finland road as part of military exercise
- Two F-35A Lockheed Martin fighter jets successfully landed on a motorway in Tervo, Finland, marking the first time this has occurred. The Norwegian military conducted the exercise as part of a military exercise.
- Finland, which recently became a NATO member, shares a long border of 1,300km with Russia. This makes the military exercise significant as it demonstrates Finland's growing defense capabilities and its commitment to NATO. Additionally, Finland plans to purchase 64 F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin in the future. This further emphasizes Finland's focus on strengthening its air defense.
- It is worth noting that another variant of the F-35, the F-35B, which can land vertically, has previously landed on roads. Moreover, F-16 fighter jets also have the capability to land on roads. These factors further highlight the versatility and adaptability of these aircraft in various scenarios.
