The air defense exercise, known as Juniper Cobra 10, is a joint exercise between the IDF and the United States European Command (EUCOM), and will continue for a three week period. This is the fifth in the series of biennial Juniper Cobra exercises. These exercises are planned in advance and are part of a routine training cycle designed to improve the interoperability of both air defense systems. Planning for JC10 started over a year and a half ago.
