Piloții de F-16 de azi continuă tradiția faimosului Horia Agarici, vânător de bolșevici

Today's F-16 pilots in Romania honor the legacy of Horia Agarici, a WWII hero known for downing Soviet bombers. Their professionalism has made them a key asset in NATO, with Romania being the only ally to have shot down four drones on NATO's Eastern Flank. Agarici's notable achievement occurred on June 23, 1941, when he single-handedly intercepted and downed three Soviet bombers, becoming a symbol of Romanian fighter aviation. Despite facing post-war repression, he was eventually rehabilitated and passed away in 1982, remembered for his bravery and contributions to aviation.
