US, Israel, Greece end joint sea-air maneuver

The US Sixth Fleet and the Israeli and Greek air forces Sunday wound up a joint war game lasting two weeks opposite Greece. It focused on intensified military cooperation, on the one hand, and enhancing each force’s individual capabilities, on the other. Following Moscow’s promise of S-300 air defense missiles to Iran, the Israeli air crews practiced maneuvers with F-16 warplanes. Also taking part in the exercise were Israeli Navy missile ships.
