In the briefing room, Major General Kuş told the press that this year's exercise was planned based on a modern, dynamic, and multi-dimensional operational environment.
He stated that, for the first time in an international exercise, pre-war crisis phase scenarios were simulated through actual flight missions.
Kuş added:
"For the first time in the Anatolian Eagle exercise, blue forces carried out interception and destruction operations against a simulated threat of numerous cruise missiles launched by forces representing a 'red country.' In a first for an international exercise conducted under conventional operations, only UAVs were assigned direct bombing roles."
Following the briefing, journalists took their positions in a designated area and photographed takeoffs and landings of air assets from Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Qatar, Hungary, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and NATO.
Later, the press watched a demonstration flight by the Turkish Stars, the aerobatic team of the Turkish Air Force stationed in Konya.
The Anatolian Eagle-2025 Exercise included 75 air and naval assets in total—30 international and 45 national elements—with more than 1,000 personnel participating.
