ATHENS: Pilots from Israel, the US, the UAE and Italy began a joint drill in Greece Tuesday, which also marked the second time crews from the IAF and the UAE have flown side-by-side, foreign media reports.
While Israel does **t have any diplomatic relations with the UAE, last year the IAF took part in the Red Flag aerial exercise in the United States alongside UAE and Pakistan.
A Hellenic Air Force statement said the “complex exercise,” named Iniohos 2017, will run from March 27 to April 6. The Greek navy and units from its army will also partake in the drill, Greek media reported.
The Americans have sent 12 F-16C Fighting Falcons and an estimated 220 support personnel to participate in the exercise between Nato allies and partner nations. “Multinational training engagements such as these strengthen our relationships, maintain joint readiness and interoperability, and reassure our regional allies and partners,” read a US Army statement.
