WEBVTT 00:05.760 --> 00:07.982 This iteration , it's our international 00:07.982 --> 00:10.560 flag where we focus on multinational 00:10.569 --> 00:12.569 co-operation and how we're going to 00:12.569 --> 00:14.402 integrate with various different 00:14.402 --> 00:16.402 countries and how we're going to go 00:16.402 --> 00:18.458 forward . Uh working together . This 00:18.458 --> 00:20.347 one's focusing on the indo paycom 00:20.347 --> 00:22.513 relationships . So specifically having 00:22.513 --> 00:24.625 both the Republic of Singapore here , 00:24.625 --> 00:26.569 as well as the Indian Air Force to 00:26.569 --> 00:29.409 integrate with . So for red flag , 00:29.420 --> 00:31.440 Alaska , we have brought eight jets 00:31.450 --> 00:34.099 with us . They belong to the two RALs 00:34.290 --> 00:38.040 of Air Force in 2008 and 2016 . We 00:38.049 --> 00:40.200 participated in a red flag excise and 00:40.209 --> 00:44.209 this is our third red flag . So it 00:44.220 --> 00:46.331 is very important to train with other 00:46.331 --> 00:49.029 air forces because as you know , A R 00:49.040 --> 00:51.207 has the capability to be employed very 00:51.207 --> 00:54.770 effectively in collaborative security 00:54.779 --> 00:58.509 challenges . The RSF has 00:58.520 --> 01:00.610 participated in multiple editions of 01:00.619 --> 01:02.439 the exercise . Our most recent 01:02.450 --> 01:05.519 participation was in 2022 . We have two 01:05.529 --> 01:07.473 fighter squadrons participating in 01:07.473 --> 01:09.640 exercise this year . Peace carving two 01:09.640 --> 01:12.199 and peace carving five Dutchman . Our 01:12.209 --> 01:14.265 training objective is to sharpen our 01:14.265 --> 01:16.487 skill sets by training in a dynamic and 01:16.487 --> 01:18.709 realistic threat environment so that we 01:18.709 --> 01:20.653 push the boundaries of operational 01:20.653 --> 01:22.542 excellence safety , this training 01:22.542 --> 01:24.765 environment allows us to do just that , 01:24.765 --> 01:26.931 which in turns enhances our ability to 01:26.931 --> 01:29.550 defend Singapore . I've had a really 01:29.559 --> 01:31.781 good experience here at red flag . I've 01:31.781 --> 01:33.781 been here for the first one and the 01:33.781 --> 01:36.003 second one so far and it's been a great 01:36.003 --> 01:38.330 time . I feel joint exercises are 01:38.339 --> 01:41.400 important because it gives us a chance 01:41.410 --> 01:44.690 to build a bond between other nations 01:44.699 --> 01:46.866 and when it comes through time to work 01:46.866 --> 01:49.449 together and communicate in a time when 01:49.459 --> 01:51.330 needed , we will come through .
