It has been announced that the Royal Netherlands Air Force’s (RNLAF) F-35 Lightning II fighter jets have reached Full Operational Capability (FOC).  

The fighters are now capable of performing a range of critical defense missions, from airspace monitoring to counterterrorism operations, and even contributing to NATO’s nuclear deterrent strategy. 

“The F-35 enables us to deliver critical, long-range military effects at a moment’s notice,” Commander of the Royal Netherlands Air Force, Lieutenant General Dennis Luyt, emphasized. “This is a game changer for the Dutch Armed Forces.”
