Earlier this month, Portugal hosted an international air exercise that featured 35 aircraft and 1,500 personnel from the Portuguese Air Force, Army and Navy as well as military forces from Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, the United States and NATO (E-3A AWACS and DA-20).
Training took place in a realistic environment and helped prepare participating nations for international missions in operational scenarios and to develop interoperability between participating Allies.
The exercise included air defence, convoy protection in humanitarian missions, close air support to ground forces and special operations, extraction of military and civilian elements, cargo and paratroopers drops, combat search and rescue, aeromedical evacuations, civil-military cooperation, conventional guided and high-accuracy ordnance attacks and conventional attacks on maritime forces.
Footage includes go-pro shots from the cockpit of a Spanish F-18 performing a parallel take-off with another Spanish F-18, paratroopers dropping from a C-130 aircraft, as well as shots of a NATO AWACS plane
