According to the Spanish Air Force, two Canadair aircrafts from the Air Force’s 43rd Group performed approximately 70 water drops across central and northern Portugal.
They coordinated with other aircrafts from France and Italy as part of the European Union-funded rescEU mission, designed to protect citizens from disasters and manage emerging risks.
