This week, the IDF completed a large-scale missile boat exercise on the northern front.
The exercise simulated a broad, multi-front war scenario in the northern naval arena. The exercise involved combined arms cooperation between missile boats and the Air Force, including the 193rd Squadron which operates the “bat” helicopters.
Among the scenarios that were practiced were: countering drone threats, aerial extraction via the sea, and fueling missile boats while on deployment.
