The TurAz Falcon-2022 (TurAz Qartali) joint flight-tactical
drills, which involve Azerbaijani and Turkish pilots, are underway
in Azerbaijan, Azernews reports, citing the Defense Ministry.
Under the drill's plan, military pilots flying from base
airfields on predetermined itineraries fulfilled the given tasks in
various episodes.
The required duties are successfully completed by personnel
during the joint flight-tactical exercises, the ministry said.
Azerbaijan and Turkiye periodically hold joint drills to improve
interaction and communication between their army units.
The two nations conducted a series of joint drills such as
Indestructible Brotherhood, TurAz Falcon, and Three Brothers in
previous years. The military personnel of the Azerbaijani army's
land, air, naval and special forces joined a number of military
exercises and seminars in Turkiye.
Military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkiye first
emerged in 1992, with an agreement signed between the Azerbaijani
and Turkish governments on military education and weapon equipment
and deals to help strengthen the bond between the two nations.
On June 15, the two countries signed a memorandum on the
alliance that cemented the existing military, political and
economic cooperation.
