Hosted by USAF 1st Fighter Wing at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, RAF Eurofighter Typhoon, USAF F-22 Raptor and French Dassault Rafale fighters horned their skills to operate in a highly-contested operational environment through a variety of simulated adversary scenarios.
The fifth generation F-22 Raptor fighter flew realistic combat missions together with the fourth generation Rafale and Typhoon.
The exercise simulated a highly-contested, degraded and operationally-limited environment where U.S. and partner pilots and ground crews can tested their readiness.
