The reform efforts undertaken by Ethiopia’s security institutions have established a foundation for building institutions suited to the nation’s needs. Among these, the Ethiopian Air Force stands out. As the Air Force celebrates its 89th anniversary, it has achieved a significant milestone with the successful readiness for flight of an aircraft named Sun 2, developed in-house. Equipped with advanced technology to carry out its missions effectively, this achievement underscores the Air Force’s progress toward realizing its vision of becoming the largest air force in Africa by 2030
