Egypt and Turkey have launched a multi-day joint air exercise at multiple Egyptian air bases, the first such publicly announced drill between the two countries in recent memory. The exercise involves multi-role fighter aircraft from both air forces. The first phase includes theoretical lectures to unify operational concepts and exchange training expertise, alongside operational training sorties designed to coordinate efforts and strengthen interoperability between the two sides.
As The Zioneer reported on June 11, Egypt held joint military drills with Turkey and Oman, confirming a pattern of expanding military-to-military engagement between Cairo and Ankara following years of strained relations. This new exercise deepens that trend, though the scope and duration of the current drill have not been fully detailed.
No further information on the specific aircraft types or base locations has been released by either military.
