Namibia : historic acquisition of 2 chinese Y-9E aircraft
Namibia becomes the first international customer of the Shaanxi Y-9E tactical transport, taking delivery of two units at Grootfontein air base. These aircraft enhance military and humanitarian capacity, enabling rapid troop deployment across Namibia’s vast territory, says President Nangolo Mbumba. Bearing symbolic registrations (1990, 1962), the aircraft represent a strategic milestone for Namibia.
