Egypt and Türkiye are conducting a joint air exercise across multiple Egyptian air bases. The exercise covers theoretical phases (unifying combat concepts, exchanging training expertise) and practical sorties focused on joint operational missions. No aircraft types or numbers disclosed publicly. This follows the "Sea of Friendship" joint naval exercise in September 2025, the first Egypt-Türkiye naval drills in 13 years. Two years ago a joint air exercise between these two would have been unthinkable.
