1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,982 This iteration , it's our international 3 00:00:07,982 --> 00:00:10,560 flag where we focus on multinational 4 00:00:10,569 --> 00:00:12,569 co-operation and how we're going to 5 00:00:12,569 --> 00:00:14,402 integrate with various different 6 00:00:14,402 --> 00:00:16,402 countries and how we're going to go 7 00:00:16,402 --> 00:00:18,458 forward . Uh working together . This 8 00:00:18,458 --> 00:00:20,347 one's focusing on the indo paycom 9 00:00:20,347 --> 00:00:22,513 relationships . So specifically having 10 00:00:22,513 --> 00:00:24,625 both the Republic of Singapore here , 11 00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,569 as well as the Indian Air Force to 12 00:00:26,569 --> 00:00:29,409 integrate with . So for red flag , 13 00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:31,440 Alaska , we have brought eight jets 14 00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:34,099 with us . They belong to the two RALs 15 00:00:34,290 --> 00:00:38,040 of Air Force in 2008 and 2016 . We 16 00:00:38,049 --> 00:00:40,200 participated in a red flag excise and 17 00:00:40,209 --> 00:00:44,209 this is our third red flag . So it 18 00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:46,331 is very important to train with other 19 00:00:46,331 --> 00:00:49,029 air forces because as you know , A R 20 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,207 has the capability to be employed very 21 00:00:51,207 --> 00:00:54,770 effectively in collaborative security 22 00:00:54,779 --> 00:00:58,509 challenges . The RSF has 23 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,610 participated in multiple editions of 24 00:01:00,619 --> 00:01:02,439 the exercise . Our most recent 25 00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:05,519 participation was in 2022 . We have two 26 00:01:05,529 --> 00:01:07,473 fighter squadrons participating in 27 00:01:07,473 --> 00:01:09,640 exercise this year . Peace carving two 28 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,199 and peace carving five Dutchman . Our 29 00:01:12,209 --> 00:01:14,265 training objective is to sharpen our 30 00:01:14,265 --> 00:01:16,487 skill sets by training in a dynamic and 31 00:01:16,487 --> 00:01:18,709 realistic threat environment so that we 32 00:01:18,709 --> 00:01:20,653 push the boundaries of operational 33 00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:22,542 excellence safety , this training 34 00:01:22,542 --> 00:01:24,765 environment allows us to do just that , 35 00:01:24,765 --> 00:01:26,931 which in turns enhances our ability to 36 00:01:26,931 --> 00:01:29,550 defend Singapore . I've had a really 37 00:01:29,559 --> 00:01:31,781 good experience here at red flag . I've 38 00:01:31,781 --> 00:01:33,781 been here for the first one and the 39 00:01:33,781 --> 00:01:36,003 second one so far and it's been a great 40 00:01:36,003 --> 00:01:38,330 time . I feel joint exercises are 41 00:01:38,339 --> 00:01:41,400 important because it gives us a chance 42 00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:44,690 to build a bond between other nations 43 00:01:44,699 --> 00:01:46,866 and when it comes through time to work 44 00:01:46,866 --> 00:01:49,449 together and communicate in a time when 45 00:01:49,459 --> 00:01:51,330 needed , we will come through .
