Two Mirage 2000 from 332Sq./114FW successfully fired two anti-ship missiles AM-39 Exocet Block II against floating target in high risk scenarios.
Then, two F-16 Block 50 from 347Sq./111FW fired AGM-65 Maverick missiles and an attack helicopter fired a AGM-114K Hellfire missile before the target sunk.
This is the second time in few months that HAF helds a “Sea Griffin” drill: on May 31, 2012, several Greek platforms belonging to both the Air Force, Army and Navy were involved in a live firing activity against a target ship.
