The Israeli Air Force (IAF) is participating in the “Blue Sky” aerial exercise in Romania, for the first time since 2010.

The IAF 131st Squadron, also known as the Yellow Bird Squadron, with its C-130E transport planes, and the 103rd Squadron, also known as the Elephants Squadron, with its C-130J Super Hercules transport planes, deployed forces in Romania on Sunday.

As part of the exercise, the forces will train in “many and varied combat scenarios in enemy territory, with an emphasis on flying in an unfamiliar area at low altitude, day and night.”

The pilots will also practice navigation and landings in complex topography, with an emphasis on safe, accurate, and professional training.

Areas in Romania are said to be similar to the topography in Iran.
