NATO to stage largest aeronautical exercise in history in June

NATO is preparing to carry out the largest aeronautical exercise in its history in Europe, from June 12 to June 23. The name of the event is Air Defender 23, and it will include the air forces of 25 nations. The massive event is reported to involve up to 10,000 participants who will train their flight skills with around 220 aircraft, per Simple Flying. 

The military event is set to take place in European airspace, and it will be led by the German air force, Luftwaffe. Bret Weinstein has expressed reservations about the development, given that it has not received mainstream coverage. Weinstein said that the event’s “low profile may be a feature and not a bug.” 

The report stated that the main objective of such an extensive military drill is to create an exercise scenario that would include warfare operations for allied forces. Air Defender 23 is supposed to demonstrate NATO’s strength in the air. Learning how the nation’s respective air forces would respond in the case of an emergency is also a priority.
