As explained in “Known
and unknown incidents prove Turkey and Israel have come closer to war than you
might believe”, an exercise involving the Hellenic Air Force and Israeli
Air Force took place between Oct. 21 – 26 at Larissa airbase in Greece. The
drills were held as a follow up of last November’s visit of the HAF’s 337 Sq. to Ovda
airbase, in the Negev.
Ten double seat IAF F-16I Sufa
multirole fighters belonging to the 119 Sqn
“Bat” (Ha’ Atalef) [#413, #448, #491], the 201 Sqn
“The One” (Ahat) [#857, #868, #880] and 253 Sqn
“Negev” (Ha’ Negev) [#407, #445, #476, #478], including 152 pilots and
ground crew arrived from Ramon airbase, in Israel.
All the F-16I Sufa (as those
possibly taking part to the air
strike in Sudan last week…) sported a configuration including the
characteristic Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs), inert
AIM-9L Sidewinder and Litening II and LANTIRN
pods.
Greece
participated with F-16 Block 52+ and Mirage-2000Mk2 fighter jets from 110, 111
and 114 FW.
Air-to-air, air-to-surface and Composite Air Operations
(COMAO) day and night missions were flown during the exercise.
