FACh to modernise fighter fleet under new air chief

摘要

The top priority of General Arturo Merino, who took command of the Chilean Air Force (Fuerza Aerea de Chile: FACh) on 5 September, will be to launch a programme to modernise and upgrade the service's fleet of high-performance fighters, sources in Santiago have told Jane's. The programme, which has been in discussion at high levels inside the service for some years, is focused on modernising the FACh's fleet of F-16 fighters.
