TURKEY:


Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force (PAF), Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Turkish Air Force at the opening ceremony of Multinational Military Flight Crew Training (MMFCT) Centre on Wednesday.


Both the air forces have agreed to exchange two pilots for training every year. This would enhance the bilateral relations at a grass root level.


According to PAF, the main purpose of Multinational Military Flight Crew Training Centre (MMFCT-C) is to provide comprehensive training solutions to Fighter Pilots of Allies and to develop flight training tactics and techniques in line with Nato operational requirements.


It would also hone the interoperability amongst allies and partners for future operations and exercises.

shahid | 8 years ago | Reply @Khan: One should be enough as it is to understand and be familiar with the command & control systems of NATO operational systems and they can understand ours in case of cross functional requirements during emergencies and of course, during war, if required for PAF to operate and do combat missions using NATO combat aircrafts. So, 2 is always better per year, it is called a lead and a backup. They then pass thru downstream the info received.
