ZAGREB, April 25 (Xinhua) -- The final Rafale fighter jet out of the 12 ordered by Croatia from France arrived in Zagreb on Friday, the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

This final delivery marks the completion of "the most important modernization of the Croatian Air Force in its history," the statement said. The delivery comes exactly one year after the reception of the first six Rafale jets.

Croatia finalized an agreement to purchase 12 used French Rafale fighter jets in November 2021.
