Middle Eastern Red Flag Participants??

It is good to see support coming from Arab nations, eg Quatar and Saudi.. I wish then safe ops and a safe return when this is all over.

One question though is on their ability to inter-operate with "NATO-esque" ops and to see just how many foreigh nations have "cut the mustard" at Red Flag / Maple Flag exercises?

Is their training, tactics and doctrine based on the way we go about the business? I suspect that flying similar ac helps but an F16A/B is a different beastie to an F16 D/E.......
