Turkey's air force on Monday began five days of air defense exercises with Saudi Arabia, the Turkish military said, as the two countries forge an increasingly tight alliance on Syria, AFP reports.
Six Saudi F-15 fighter jets will take part in the air defense training in the central Turkish region of Konya, the military said in a statement.
The exercises are within the framework of cooperation and military training between the two countries and had been scheduled in advance, it added. They will last until Friday.
