"NATO conducts largest-ever aerial drills in show of strength against Russia"

NATO is holding its largest-ever aerial war games, "Air Defender 2023," in Germany with 250 warplanes and 10,000 troops participating. The drills are designed to boost the alliance's preparedness and ability to protect against aircraft, drones, and missile attacks on cities and critical infrastructure. The exercises come as Ukraine fights back against Russian invaders, and Moscow unleashes punishing air attacks on Ukrainian cities. The US has the largest contingent of planes involved in the exercise, and the drills include real-time scenarios from the conflict in Ukraine.
