The exercise, called Talon Highlander, has included the participation of AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters (the most modern version of this American aircraft) from the 3rd Regiment of the British Army Air Corps (AAC) and NH-90 Sarrio transport helicopters from the III Manoeuvre Helicopter Battalion (BHELMA III) of the Spanish Army Air Forces (FAMET).

The Spanish Army has announced that these exercises have been focused on "the integration and preparation of air units within the Allied Reaction Force" (ARF) of NATO. "They have contributed to a multinational force, capable of responding quickly to any threat." The Spanish Army has released this video of the exercise:

Also, on September 20, British YouTube channel Chinneylowfly posted this video showing two Spanish NH-90s (ET 803 and ET 813) escorted by two British AH-64E Apache Guardians landing and then taking off in fog at Sleap airfield in Shrewsbury, England:

Yesterday, the Army published its Flickr channel several photos of Spain's participation in this exercise. On September 12, the Terrestrial Force (FUTER) published some more photos. You can see them all below.
