LockOn Greece and JATF v-Iniochos 2025

[=GR= Cypher]

Iniochos is an annual exercise carried on by the Hellenic Air Force in cooperation with the army and navy. The first exercise was back in the mid 80s and lasted for 15 days. The purpose of the exercise is to train mass formations (COMAO) in complex missions in cooperation with other land and sea assets. In 2015 Iniochos became an INVITEX exercise with the cooperation of US Special Forces and IAF with F-16I Sufa. Since then, every year, massive numbers of aircraft take part from various countries (USA, UK, Italy, Slovenia, UAE, Qatar, Spain etc.) in a 10 day mission profile.

Ground commanders can move and operate all ground and naval assets as well as MQ-9 Reaper drones for recon purposes and mark targets on the F10 map for strike packages. CSAR option is available via DML scripts.

Be aware, things on the battlefield might change as the scenario unfolds.

 

May the best side win!

For now nothing can be announced officially but there is a possibility to allow slots for non-JATF members. Stay tuned!

Thanks to fellow member =GR= Jackal from the squadron, DML is working as a charm so CSAR is back on, along with DML persistence module, CSAR missions can be flown on another day if necessary!

@cfrag Thanks for your efforts and support!
