Israel and Greece held a joint aerial exercise, further improving their already cutting-edge abilities.   

The Israel Air Force (IAF) and the Hellenic Air Force held a joint aerial exercise in Greek airspace last week.

The exercise was conducted with the objective of improving and preserving the IAF’s preparedness.

The drill included long-range flights and training in unfamiliar terrain with dozens of planes.

Forty Israeli fighter jets from 10 squadrons participated in the exercise, along with transportation and refueling aircraft and dozens of crew members. The exercise was conducted fully in the air, without landing, and included two daytime sorties.

The IAF shares a close relationship with the Hellenic Air Force and they routinely train together.
