In line with the programme, personnel carried out live-fire tasks at the training ground and took part in practical firefighting drills. The military personnel also completed theoretical and practical tests to assess their individual skills. The exercise, which will run until October 29, aims to assess and certify the declared helicopter pair’s operational capabilities against NATO standards.
