The aim of war games is to increase the level of training, fire support, air defense and command&control by providing harmony between HQ and units in the battlefield.

Is there any videos available from this years EFES exercises?

A lot... M48A5T2s are in relatively good shape and we have a huge surplus. Most of the active M48s must be with the 4. army. Leopard 1s and M60s could be of better use in the east.

Because our most sophisticated tanks are equipped by the 1. army.

What's interesting is the excessive use of mini-UAVs. Since herons and most tactical UAVs are stationed in the SE it seems that we're closing the gap with these in the west.

This year's exercise seems amazing! I was in EFES'12 as Naval Academy observer and I remember that Leopard 2A4's was also used in '12. Really wonder to know why they only went with Pattons this year :bad:

I would love to see one of those with real eyes. damn it.
