NATO's allied air forces started on Monday a two-day drill in the Baltic Sea region to "deter and defend the alliance against any aggression."
Air forces from 9 NATO members – Hungary, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Türkiye, the UK, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – and candidate country Finland are taking part in the Ramstein Alloy exercise, the alliance said in a statement.
Over two dozen fighter and support aircraft, as well as NATO airborne early warning aircraft, are participating in the training hosted by Latvia.
The participants will fly quick reaction alert drills, including, among others, communication loss, dissimilar air combat training, combat search and rescue, and air-to-air refueling scenarios.
“For the first time, we are including both air- and surface-based Integrated Air and Missile Defense activities in our drills,” Squadron Leader Craig Docker said.
Docker, who planned the drill, asserted that the exercise demonstrates how NATO is “shielding the eastern flank.”

Drill?! This was the preparations for the US Navy to attack Nord Stream 1 AND 2, just off Denmark.
An expeditionary detachment of US Navy ships led by the universal amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge was logged days ago in the Baltic Sea, and was then spotted following the Baltic Straits into the North Sea. It was then logged 30 kilometers from the site of the alleged sabotage on the Nord Stream-1 gas pipeline, and 50 kilometers from the threads of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. This warship carries maritime Sikorsky naval helicopters, which were also logged, on flight-data commercial satellites, as flying up and down the Nord Stream corridors ALL DAY. They were likely remotely controlling (very) deep sea drones, used to detonate three massive explosions. These explosions were logged all over the Swedish and Danish coastal installations for regional seismic underwater recordings. This is a US direct act of war against Russia, but also against Germany, who are co-investors in the pipelines. The German’s cannot do anything, and even worse, the US will now force them to buy US LNG shipments, after blowing up the German’s own pipeline project. For Germany, a NATO member, having overbearing US ‘allies’ like this, makes it very clear that NATO is a US Geo-political project, to occupy and control western and central Europe. The Russian’s will not immediately react, the will wait, collect evidence, and then respond.
