Kazakhstan air force visits RAF Mildenhall in support of exercise
A Kazakhstan air force C-295M military twin-turboprop transport aircraft sits on a hardstand July 14, 2016, on RAF Mildenhall, England. Three Kazakhstan Air Defence Force aircraft were here in support of Exercise Steppe Eagle, training to ensure they are able to deploy in support of peacekeeping missions whenever necessary. The U.S., U.K. and Kazakhstan air forces have worked together since 2003 to build up their peacekeeping capacity in an annual exercise which encourages NATO interoperability and strengthens partnerships.
