Exercise Swift Blade/Purple Nectar

[Zonan]

UH-60 will be Sweden, Slovakia will not take part of the exercise.
Tigre will most likely be a German one, because France isn’t on the list.

Slovakia is on the list of thr SIS

[michel N]

But it should be Slovenia if I remember correct, not Slovakia

Michel that’s correct

You can skip the Swedish, France, Italians. They will only send observers. So no UH-60 from Sweden and also no Mi-17 (or Mi-8) from Hungary
Nice extra participant will be a Portugese EH-101.

Keep an eye on http://www.gras-spotters.nl were we will post soon more information and updates.

Gips,

Keep it to the facts Sweden, France and Italy where never on a list to send helicopters. Slovakia is sending a 60 also, Slovenia will send one Cougar.

If Edwin says there will be a Slovakian UH-60 I am quite sure there is......

hey,

with the cancellation of FF2020 I was wondering whether there is news to cancel this exercise as well?

I suspect a decision
will not be taken
before next week -or the week after that.

So, do not expect (m)any updates on "Corona" this week

HWIC is cancelled, but Swift Blade/Purple Nectar is not mentioned at
