Ido Nehushtan, commander of the Israel Air Force (IAF), are reviewing a range of operational, training and technical options aimed at strengthening interoperability and cooperation among the two air forces, sources from both countries said.

"Regional security cooperation is important to building interoperability and capabilities required to confront challenges before they become threats," she added.
