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 .
