Qatar's F-15 fighter jets, which have been developed for the Amiri Air Force, have successfully completed their first test flight.

The most advanced version of the fighter plane demonstrated its ability to maneuver while taking off to the airspace of the US.





Commenting on the occasion, Commander of the F-15 QA Wing Colonel Pilot Ahmed Jadae Al Mansouri expressed pride in the achievement, and looked forward to continuous successes of the program.

Colonel Pilot Al Mansouri said that this successful first flight is an important one step closer to flying the amazing aircraft over the skies of Qatar.

Qatar's Ministry of Defense had singed an agreement with the US Defense Department in June 2017 to purchase F-15 fighter jets to be delivered the next year.
