The ‘Israel Air Force’ completed a large-scale drill with Italy and NATO over the Italian island of Sardinia in recent days.

Zionist Li.-Col. Y, commander of the 117th Squadron of F-16 fighter jets which took part in the simulation, said his pilots flew over ocean waters west of Italy and carried out maneuvers together with the Italian air force.

"We simulated a common enemy. The cooperation between us and the Italians was very good," the pilot said.

The drill was planned six months in advance, and ended last week. Pilots flew in a variety of formations and practiced striking simulated targets.
