On June 6, 2024, the US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) organized the first 'Ramstein 1v1' (Ramstein1v1) air combat exercise at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, with pilots from 9 NATO countries flying 37 4th and 5th generation fighter jets such as F-35, F-16, F/A-18, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Boeing F/A-18 Hornet to enhance their air combat skills through dissimilar air combat training. The exercise marked a rare occurrence post-Cold War where NATO aircraft engaged in 1v1 dogfights and basic air combat drills to improve mutual defense capabilities, aiming to make 'Ramstein 1v1' a routine exercise held three times a year to train more NATO pilots.
