Are the naval and air exercises related or just a planned coincidence?

 

[Last Hope]

No they aren't related.

There was a joint Air Force - Navy exercise some time back before Aman-13.

Are the naval and air exercises related or just a planned coincidence?

"Aman-2013" is a multi-national naval exercise, where as Indus Viper is just between PAF and TuAF.

Did you said TCG Gokova (FFG-496) ? I have the officer cap of it!

 

[Kompromat]

My good guess is that TUAF is filling in our training gap for BVR tactics and countermeasures.
