Royal Air Force of Oman, F-16 and the Rafale optionnote
Sultan Qaboos of Oman is said to be showing interest in buying more F-16 fighter jets for the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO), while thinking of the Eurofighter and maintaining the Rafale option. The following 348-word report sheds light on the subject and tells why the Rafale option is still maintained and whether it still has chances to be taken or not. Note that RAFO has already 12 F-16s in service.
