The Air Force is building an army of artificial intelligence-powered warfighters, each of which will command a fleet of small, buzzing drones.

The 10 combat aviators will now undergo advanced fast jet training, the Royal Air Force said.

The Persian Gulf island country is the first Gulf Cooperation Council member to operate the jets, Lockheed Martin said.

The $54.3 million refurbishment of the Soviet-era airbase is meant to strengthen the alliance’s presence in the Western Balkans.

The news comes as a potential timeline begins to emerge for when Ukraine might also receive its first fighter jets.

This week Czech Gripen fighter pilots also practice air-to-air refueling with an A-330 tanker.

During the past two years, Canada has provided more than $2.4 billion in military assistance to Ukraine.

The Dutch government says it will now send two dozen fighter jets to bolster the war-torn country’s air force.

The fighter jet experienced an ‘in-flight emergency’ over the West Sea, Air Force officials said.

The moves set the stage for an expansion of NATO air power.
