An estimated 800 technical and administrative personnel from different air forces took part in the drill, which took place from November 3-14 at the Uvda Air Force base north of Eilat.
The airbase hosts squadrons training in the Negev Desert, and has an advanced center that trains aircrew in numerous exercises.
