Just a thought, but perhaps this participation by the Russians is more a procedures and tactics familiariztion/training, in the event that their air force will be working with US/NATO/other air forces that have adopted those types of scenarios and tactics as used at Nellis. The way things have been changing as of late, it wouldn't be a total shock to see, for example, a US/Russian/Euopean/Middle Eastern air task force deployed for a particular situation. Just my humble opinion, s'all...

Turns out the Russians will not be at red flag.

"So it looks like the Voice of Russia story about the Russian Federation Air Force attending Red Flag at Nellis was wrong--really wrong. And it seems Nellis public affairs dropped the ball in confirming the that the Russians were attending.

This is what they had sent me originally:

"Yes, The Russians will be participating in Red Flag 13-1.



Thanks for your interest in Nellis.



-Nellis Public Affairs"

This is what the USAF headquarters sent me today:

"The Voice of Russia reporting is a complete fabrication. The Russian Air Force (RFAF) was supposed to observe RED FLAG-Alaska (RF-A) 12-2, 6-14 Jun 12 but RFAF observation was cancelled due to reciprocity issues.

Instead, a RFAF one-star general participated in the Executive Observer Program at RF-A 14-19 Jun 12. RFAF participation at RED FLAG-Nellis was never considered and no further RFAF observation/participation in RF is planned at this time."

I'd like to thank you for 'borrowing' a statement of mine from another thread in this forum without attribution-and how do you tie possible Russian participation in Red Flag to the scrapping of the U.S.S. Long Beach?

It's definitely a bot. Post reported.

"reciprocity"

that's right, USAF said "free kittie riot!"
