Exercise Pitch Black 2022 RAAF Darwin Airside launch.

Exercise Pitch Black 2022 is the Royal Australian Air Force’s most significant International Engagement activity with forces participating from a wide range of partner and allied nations developing and enhancing military relationships at all levels.
Exercises such as this are pivotal to ensuring Air Force remains ready to respond whenever the Australian Government requires. The training and integration of forces that occurs during this exercise directly supports Air Force’s ability to conduct operations.
Exercise Pitch Black features a range of realistic, simulated threats which can be found in a modern battle-space environment and is an opportunity to test and improve our force integration, utilising one of the largest training airspace areas in the world - Bradshaw Field Training Area and Delamere Air Weapons Range.
The exercise will host up to 2500 personnel and up to 100 aircraft from around the globe including participants from Australia, France, Germany, Indonesia, India, Singapore, Japan, Republic of Korea, UK, the Philippines, Thailand, UAE, Canada, Netherlands, Malaysia, New Zealand and the US. Significantly, Germany, Japan, and the Republic of Korea will be participating fully for the first time.
Activities such as Exercise Pitch Black recognise Australia’s strong relationships and the high value we place on regional security and fostering closer ties throughout the Indo- Pacific region.

Even though it's old, I don't care what anyone says, IMO, the F16 is still the most wicked looking jet. It just oozes the fact, it means business. Great video. Thanks Mark

Was it the first time the German airforce has been in Australia?

[@Jordy120]

Pardon my ignorance, but the RoS F16 versions are bulkier than what I've seen so far?

[@EricK-mj7kr]

The RSAF F-16D+ are fitted with CFTs (conformal fuel tanks) for extended operating range.

Spend money with poor results. Toxic to society. Pointless.

[@engchoontan8483]

Use criminals as pilots in future.

[@engchoontan8483]

Job-scope, duties, rules, priorities, pay-master(politicans or tax-payers.?), ... = fail grade Respect is earned, not-given. Respect is not-demanded, it is to be earned. Officers that did not earn respect in the military = you are better off - ...

[@engchoontan8483]

Singapore should use proper-criminals for those F35B nonsence.

[@engchoontan8483]

Air-farce officers command = no head count to justify their ranks. (Might as well be nonsence) What is your-command.? = size-number of troops under your-command Pilot = ¿□$■》~}`₩□¡,=&=[×,£^×#£"[[[

[@engchoontan8483]

Why.? Military Psychology for you to sit behind a powerful radar, social engineered to marry and have kids early (impotence) and fight like a front-line sacrificed fool

Mitsubishi fighter planes taking off from Darwin just looks Wrong, Really Wrong!🙈
