Preparing for Future Wars
(Ynet News) Alex Fishman - The recent helicopter crash in Romania drew attention to the Israel Air Force's activity in that country. As opposed to common perception, Israel's Air Force deployments in Turkey were not terminated in the past two or three years because of deteriorating ties between the two states. The Air Force itself concluded that it exhausted all benefits inherent in the Turkish training sessions. At this time, Italy, Romania, Germany, Greece, and the U.S. allow Israel's Air Force to engage in more realistic training sessions ahead of future threats. The reports about the termination of training flights in Turkey in the wake of the Gaza operation or the flotilla incident are yet another Mideastern myth.
