F16 multirole aircraft will be the main novelty in the military parade on December 1
The F16 multirole aircraft will be the main novelty fielded by the Romanian Army in the military parade on December 1, that will take place this year at the Triumphal Arch in northern Bucharest after a two-year pause during which the parades took place in front of the Palace of the Parliament.
According to the National Defence Ministry, another novelty at the parade beside the F16 Fighting Falcons will be the new combat gear of the Romanian Army that will enter use in 2017.
Furthermore, also a premiere in the December 1 parade will be the MEDEVAC vehicles of the Land Forces, built on the MLI-84 platform [IFV-84].
The parade this year will also offer the ability to the Special Operations Forces (SOF) to present their new Enduro MT 230 motorcycles that have recently entered use. These motorcycles are used for specific missions that imply a great degree of mobility.
Also new in the use of the SOF are the Rangers Polaris 6x6 vehicles that are used for search, rescue, evacuation and scouting on rough terrain. The vehicles will also be paraded on December 1 in the military parade at the Triumphal Arch.
