Four fighter jets and a cargo plane belonging to the Italian military that landed in Maldives have left on Friday afternoon.

"The white, beachy atolls and the crystal blue of the Indian Ocean have opened the wonderful doors of the Maldives Islands to us. This marks the second stage of the redeployment of the Italian contingent on its way to Australia to take part in the "Pitch Black 2024" air exercise, as part of the Air Force's Indo-Pacific air campaign," the Italian Air Force added to the photos.
