The Red Flag exercises, held periodically at the Nellis Air Force Base since 1975, are very realistic aerial war games. The purpose is to give pilots from the U.S., NATO and other allied countries an opportunity to practice and refine their skills for real combat situations. This includes the use of "enemy" hardware and live ammunition for bombing exercises within the Nellis complex. The exercises with flares and all kinds of aircraft can make a spectacular show, especially at night. There are usually two or three sorties per day (except on weekends): One or two sorties during daytime and one in the evening or at night. The night exercises usually inlude only one half of the daytime forces.
There are two teams, the good guys (Blue Team) and the aggressors (Red Team). The Red Team is composed of Nellis AFB-based pilots specially trained for this purpose, flying F-15 and F-16 aircraft. The Blue Team is composed of the various guest "players" in their native aircraft

Годинава Рапторот беше "посрамотен" од германските eurofighters во блиска борба(сега засега еурофајтерот нема BVR можности):

He told Combat Aircraft: 'I was talking to the squadron commander of the Raptors (525th FS) and he said they were working towards taking part in 'Red Flag'. So I said we are also there, maybe we could exchange ideas...work out synergies with the Raptor. We put two mornings in where we flew against them 1-v-1. We pulled off all the tanks to get the most Alpha on it[the Eurofighters], and it's an animal with no tanks.
'To tell you the truth, the Raptor is not built for air combat; you build the Raptor for other purposes. [It's] not going to the merge, because you don't want to end up there. It was a mission to get to know each other, the first contact by German Eurofighters in the continental US. We are not planning on facing each other in combat, we want to work together, but it was a starter for us to work together. We expected to perform less with the Eurofighter but we didn't...we were evenly matched. They didn't expect us to turn so aggressively!".
Maj Gumbrecth went further:'If I get everything right BVR (beyond visual range), I'm not going to get closer than 20 miles. The Raptor has BVR capabilities that we don't, but we did some neutral high-aspect set-ups and both sides were surprised how the results came back'.
Col Pfeiffer summed up: 'Its unique capabilities are overwhelming from our first impressions in terms of modern air combat, but as soon as you get to the merge, which is only a very small spectrum of air combat, in that area, at least, the Typhoon doesn't necessarily have to fear the F-22 in all aspects...We gain energy better than the F-22 when we are slow, for example, and we recognise that. In the dogfight the Eurofighter is at least as capable as the F-22 with advantages in some aspects. We feel pretty comfortable in that situation right now out of the experience we have had here, and we're in a position to survive against almost all jets in close combat'.

Најконтроверзните вежби се одржаа во 2008 кога беа поканети Индијците со нивните СУ-30ки:
Еве дел од изјавите кои ги предизвикаа полемиките:

Би било интересно доколку некој најде повеќе неутрални информации што точно се случувало.Треба да се запази дека американчињата при овие вежби си користеле и информации од Аваксите за разлика од Индијците
