Italian Air Force F-35 Lightning II fighters are participating in a three-week exercise at the Decimomannu air base in Sardinia.

This is the second operational exercise that Italy's F-35s have participated in. The country's Air Force currently has eight planes in its fleet.

Manufactured using the most advanced aeronautical technologies, the first fighter jet was delivered in the year 2016, becoming the first nation outside the USA to receive the newest fighter jet which has many orders from friendly nations.
