THE EUROFIGHTER F-2000, as it is known in Italian service, is today the bastion of the country’s air defense mission and firmly established with the 4° Stormo at Grosseto, 36° Stormo at Gioia del Colle and 37° Stormo at Trapani. The Italian Eurofighter wings have also been called upon to fulfill NATO air policing missions, notably during 2017 deploying to Iceland and to Bulgaria.
