The Korean Air Force will be participating in the Pitch Black drill, a biennial multinational large force employment warfare exercise, in Australia from Aug. 29 to Sep. 7, the Air Force said Tuesday.
Hosted by the Royal Australian Air, a total of 17 countries are joining the drill this year, including the United States, Britain and France.
The Korean Air Force joined the drill as an observer from 2010 to 2018. This is the first time for the Air Force to fully participate.
Six KF-16 fighter jets and one KC-330 air refueling tanker were sent to the Pitch Black drill this year.
