From left, a Republic of Singapore Air Force F-16D Fighting Falcon, U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II, and Belgian Air Force F-35A Lightning II, fly in formation as flares are released over the Sonoran Desert, April 10, 2026. The deployment of these infrared countermeasures demonstrates a critical defensive capability designed to divert heat-seeking threats and enhance aircraft survivability. This multi-national training mission reinforces the tactical proficiency and seamless interoperability required to maintain advanced airpower across the 56th Fighter Wing’s global partnerships.
