Muling nagsama ang Philippine Air Force at ang United States Pacific Air Forces para sa unang bahagi ng COPE Thunder bilateral exercises ngayong taon.

Ipinakita ng mga Air Force ng dalawang bansa ang kanilang kahandaan at kakayahan na rumesponde sa anumang banta sa regyon sa pagsasanay na ginawa sa BASA Air Base sa Pampanga.

Sa drills ngayong araw, ginamit ng Amerika ang apat sa kanilang F-16 fighter aircraft habang ipinalipad din ng Pilipinas ang apat din sa ating F-A-50 lead-in fighter aircraft.

Nagsagawa sila ng air operation drills sa kanurang bahagi ng Zambales.

Ayon kay Philippine Air Force Spokesperson Colonel Maria Consuelo Castillo, paghahanda na rin ito ng hukbong impapawid sa international exercises gaya ng Pitch Black Warfare exercise ng Australia sa Hulyo.

Nagpapadala lang tayo ng observers.

This time we are planning to send...

...fighter aircraft. So magkakaroon tayo ng large force deployment.

Nilinaw naman ang U.S. Air Force na hindi nakatuon sa mga hamon sa teritoryo ng Pilipinas ang isinasagawang COPE Thunder.

We've been doing exercises like this for many years now and we'll continue to do so.

And not because of any current things going on in the world right now.

We work together to make a free and open Indo-Pacific.

We prepare ourselves to operate in a joint environment one day for not any current present threat but potentially future threats that we might even not know about yet.

Bukod sa field exercises, nagsasagawa rin ng subject matter expert exchanges ang mga Pilipino at Amerikanong airmen para sa maritime strike at anti-ship tactics.

Magdatagal ang unang bahagi ng COPE Thunder hanggang April 19.

Nakatakda naman ay kalawang bahagi nito sa Hunyo.

Samantala, inaasahan ng PAF ang pagdating ng karagdagang air assets sa susunod na dalawang taon.
