Anat​olian Eagle 2015, Konya AB, Turkey

With modernisation of infrastructure, weapons and training starting in the early 1980's, the Turkish AF realised the philosophy that "no matter how modern the weapons are, it is men that use them." When the TAF gained experience during several operations, it was decided that it had reached a performance level where it could host the air forces of other countries in exercises and provide training to them. The Anatolian Eagle exercises are stated to be similar to the USA's Red Flag exercise at Nellis Air Force Base.
The first exercise, Anatolian Eagle 01, was held in 2001. Anatolian Eagle exercises simulate a war-time environment and the difficulty level increases from easy to hard. First the training exercise is planned in the 'White Headquarters' building. Training is monitored with computers to help test knowledge, abilities and find deficiencies of the participants. The scenarios consist of a "Blue Team" which attacks tactical and strategic targets in a "Red Land" during Combined Air Operations. The Red Land is defended by opposing combat aircraft and surface-to-air missile systems.
