Israeli and Jordanian pilots are reported to have trained together at a US-hosted air force exercise this past summer, an American official told Reuters on Tuesday.
Israel's Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon also vaguely confirmed the rare acknowledgment of military cooperation between Israel and it's Arab neighbor in a speech on Tuesday saying that Israeli pilots trained with unspecified Arab pilots in July's "Red Flag" exercise.
"There were Arab pilots there too, and pilots from the various branches of the United States military and other countries,"Ya'alon said.
Just a few weeks after Israel gave Jordan 16 Cobra helicopters to enhance its border security, Foxtrot Alpha, an American website dedicated to military aviation news, reported that Israeli air force KC-707 fuel tankers escorted Jordanian Air Force F-16s to participate in the military exercises in the West of the United States.
