The Royal Saudi Air Force on Friday ended its participation in the “Desert Flag” multinational air exercise at Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, the Kingdom’s defense ministry said.
The RSAF took part alongside forces from a number of friendly countries.
Lt. Col. Adel Abu Malha, commander of the air force group participating in the exercise, said that the drill achieved its objectives — the exchange of military experience, boosting readiness and combat efficiency, and strengthening relations with the participating forces.
He said it also highlighted the professionalism of RSAF personnel.
The three-week drill included offensive, defensive and strategic counterair operations, as well as supporting ground forces within new and complex scenarios.
The Saudi air force participated with six F-15SA fighter aircraft, along with air, technical and support crews, while carrying out 80 day and night sorties and aerial refueling.
