General Comment:

Italy

To provide training flights and
participate in Italian Air Defence
exercises. 4 Sabre VI aircraft of
421 IDF Squadron 2 (Wing), will
deploy to Istrana, Italy 25 - 31
October.

During the weekend 14-15 October Soviet Bloc press \ \
media devoted a fair amount of comment, not only to I |

exercise Skyshield, but also to various NATO exercises

in progress in West Germany and the Scandinavian
I 1
countries. Bloc propaganda accused the West of stirring
up war hysteria and also intimated that the exercises
served to improve western capabilities to launch a
nuclear war. Communist Chinese press media also
A/
contained several references to Western exercise •
activity, all derogatory in nature.
