The Falcon Eye 3 Air Drill between the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) and the Greek Air Force was launched at the Souda Air Base on the Greek island of Crete on Saturday.

The drill began with a ground study, which organized and unified the tactics of the Saudi and Greek air crews, and was followed by joint training flights in the sky above the Mediterranean Sea.

Commander of the Air Force Group Colonel Khalifa al-Enezi said that the maneuvers focus on implementing several operations, including offensive and defensive counterair and air support missions.

They also focus on training in advanced electronic warfare environments, which play a significant role in air battles, and exchanging expertise with the participating air forces.

Preparations for the maneuvers were carried out with the highest level of professionalism, Enezi stressed, noting that all the safety measures were also taken to reflect the excellence of the RSAF.
