NATO launches historic air defense exercise in Germany.
TL;DR Summary
NATO's largest-ever air defense exercise, Air Defender 2023, began in Germany on Monday with 10,000 participants and 250 aircraft from 25 nations responding to a simulated attack on a NATO member. The exercise, proposed in 2018 by German air force chief Lt. Gen. Ingo Gerhartz, aims to showcase the alliance's capabilities amid high tensions with Russia. The United States alone is sending 2,000 U.S. Air National Guard personnel and about 100 aircraft. The exercise will run through June 23 and will not disrupt civilian flights significantly, according to Gerhartz.
