US F-35 jets to be highlight of NATO Days near Ostrava

Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the annual NATO Days at Ostrava’s Mošnov Airport at the weekend. The two-day event is the biggest air, military and security show in Central Europe with military hardware exhibitions, police and rescue technology and dynamic shows of special units. Among the big attractions this year are three US F-35 Lightning II aircraft which arrived in Czechia for the event. The government is purchasing two dozen of these fighter jets for its armed forces. The NATO Days in Ostrava have been taking place since 2001.
