The paper quoted Deputy Defence Minister Prince Khaled Bin Sultan as saying, “These kinds of exercises to be carried out with Arab, Muslim and friendly countries will bring in a significant contribution to the air forces in regards to gaining combative capabilities.”
The Anatolian Eagle exercise, which is a joint international military exercise, was changed by Turkish military into a national military exercise in 2009 in a move to exclude Israel from participating.
A delay in the delivery of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Turkey from Israel has been linked to the exclusion.
