:: Anatolian Eagle 2026 ::

[Trailer23]

​

The friendly Turkish media center has confirmed to 4Aviation that from 22 June to 3 July, 2026 there will be another International edition of the Anatolian Eagle exercise.

Over the years, the international edition of the Anatolian Eagle exercise has turned into an exercise that attracts very interesting participants from countries like Qatar, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Its times like this when I truly miss someone like @Windjammer .

I'll be designing the Embroidery Patch, whereas Tipu Creativity will be working on the PVC version.

And incase anyone is wondering what we're sending ...

damn thought we would send f16s

 

[Fatman17]

It doesn't say if PAF is participating?. In the past yes PAF has.

That is a Snake/Viper, baba...

Yes - just spoke to "someone" .

With the deployment of forces in Saudi Arabia, will it be a stretch to send platforms to the Türkiye while tensions(Sindoor) remain operative?

Could have been a Cobra

Highly unlikely...

I doubt we'll be seeing THAT Sqn (No. 15) there in the near future.

Still unconfirmed reports about other Air Forces.

Yaar, I could give you the number of jets being sent (A's & B's), but I don't want to get grief from the Mods.

I was talking about your snake emoji, not the actual sqn. Green Cobra instead of Viper.

Also that emoji does not indicate 'Viper'. Vipers don't poise for strike like that....

Yaar, in all honesty - I didn'tknow that there was anything like a Green Cobra.

I know about the green Pit Viper...

Challo, jo bhee hai. F-Shola he ja raha hai.

PAF incoming with J-10's.... a wish...

I don’t see why?
Wont get max value due to incompatibility with DL.

Vipers are fully networked with everything in AE and also best placed to share & absorb.

I am sure if Turkish and Pakistan wanted, they could have J-10CEs DLinked via adaptors........plus the dissimilar ACT J-10CEs would bring to participants would be immense. I mean most countries are friendly and Chinese may not have reservations that cannot be dialed in.

May come across latency issues issues here and the cost/benefits of messing around with data links. Irrespective I for one am happy we are keeping J-10Cs out of NATO exercises. US and many others would very keen on finding out more.

Yeah, but its not as if its a 5th Gen jet or something. Its a regular 4/4.5 Gen with a decent Radar & a pretty good BVR.

I mean i'd have the same opinion (if) we had the J-35. Keep that bird far away from everything.
