The Bahraini air force is conducting a joint exercise in missile defence with units from the US Central Command, Bahrain's official BNA news agency reported on Tuesday.

It said Bahraini Chief of Staff Major General Duaij bin Salman al-Khalifa inspected the site of the exercise in "air defence against ballistic missiles" and was briefed on the aims. But it did not reveal the venue or the duration.

The exercise is part of "a series of exercises conducted by the two friendly countries to boost military cooperation," Khalifa said.

The small Gulf archipelago of Bahrain is a staunch ally of Washington and home to the US navy's Fifth Fleet.

Washington (UPI) Oct 30, 2008
The Russian-dominated Commonwealth of Independent States last week announced the successful completion of a joint command-and-staff air defense exercise as part of the integrated air defense network, the RIA Novosti news agency reported Oct. 23. The Raytheon Co. announced last week its Tomahawk Block IV cruise missile had been successfully test-fired from a U.S. Navy nuclear Virginia-class submarine in the Gulf of Mexico. Lockheed Martin announced earlier this month that one of its Patriot PAC-3 anti-ballistic missiles was successfully launched from a German Patriot fire unit in a test at White Sands Missile Range, N.M.
