Blue Flag (Israeli Air Force exercise)

Blue Flag is an international military aviation exercise held by the Israeli Air Force (IAF).

The exercise, which included the participation of several foreign air forces, is aimed at expanding international cooperation.

The goal of the Blue Flag training exercise is to simulate extreme combat scenarios and coalition flights as realistically as possible.

In 2017 the exercise hosted air forces from the United States of America, Poland, Italy and Greece – and for the first time India, France and Germany participated as well.
