Regional tensions didn’t hamper NATO’s largest air exercise of the year so far. Babak Taghvaee reports from Iniohos 18, with Philipp Vallianos.

Exercise Report

Iniohos 18

The F-4E AUPs of the locally based 338 Mira saw extensive use during the exercise. The final HAF Phantom II squadron is primarily tasked with air-to-ground missions, and its jets carried Rafael Litening II targeting pods. Philipp Vallianos
F-15E 91-0331 was one of 13 Strike Eagles from the 492nd Fighter Squadron that took part in Iniohos 18. Each USAFE F-15E was equipped with captive-carry CATM-9M and CATM-120D training missiles and an ACMI pod together with AN/AAQ-13 LANTIRN and AN/AAQ-33 Sniper pods. Babak Taghvaee

Increasingly unpredictable behaviour from the Turkish military was the backdrop to this year’s Iniohos 18 hosted by the Eliniki Polemiki Aeroporia (Hellenic Air Force, HAF).
