The Israeli Air Force hosted the British Royal Air Force and Cyprus Air Command for a joint training exercise at the Palmachim airbase and over the Mediterranean last week.
The military says the drill “allowed the participating forces to learn from each other and drill maritime Search and Rescue missions.”
“This is unparalleled mutual enrichment, and a great source of pride. It is an exercise that requires great skill and professionalism,” says the commander of the IAF’s 124th Squadron.
