Slovenian military pilots are to train on and test aircraft produced by the light aircraft maker Pipistrel under an agreement signed by Defence Minister Matej Tonin and Pipistrel director Ivo Boscarol in Ajdovščina.
The sides also agreed a special partnership that includes efforts to obtain EU and NATO funds for development projects. Tonin said the Slovenian Armed Forces would be testing Pipistrel aircraft to become “greener” and contribute to greater representation of the Slovenian defence industry in the national defence system.
