Argentina, Uruguay Hold
Airspace Control Exercises
BUENOS AIRES - Argentina and Uruguay started
on Wednesday a series of joint exercises
aimed to test their airspace control
capabilities in border zones.
"We seek to establish a coordinated air
activity control system that allows transfer
of information in time of the irregular
traffic in the airspace of both countries,"
Argentine military sources told Xinhua.
Uruguayan aircraft involved in the three-day
"Rio III" exercises include three Cessna
206s, one Baron, three Cessna A-37, three
Pucara, three Pilatus 7, and a
search-and-rescue helicopter, said the
sources.
Argentine planes that take part in the
exercises include a Twin Otter, a Seneca and
a Dakota, and a Bell L-212.
Radar and other air defense detection
methods will also be used in the exercises,
which runs through Friday. |
