Well a penetration test and Red Team/Blue Team exercises are different. Penetration test only lasts like a week or two weeks. Red Team/Blue Team exercises last months at a time and can involve all kinds of various different ways to find weaknesses in an organization information, network and end point security. Red Team/Blue Team exercises last months at a time (think in terms of like 6 months) to get better simulation of how real world hackers will operate over a long period of time being patient and finding vulnerabilities and weakness in an organization's information and cyber security.
For example, the recent Russian hacks involved like a 1,000 Russian engineers and they were very patient over a long period of time before they were able to exploit vulnerabilities to conduct a successful hack. So, real world hacking takes place over long periods of time where hackers seek to go undetected and are very patient. They rely primarily on stealth and patience. It's a cat and mouse game. That being said, I have never been on Red Team/Blue Team exercises so I am not sure who has more advantages over the other.
