NATO's Expansion and Military Exercises: Implications for Russia and Beyond
TL;DR Summary
NATO countries will launch the largest military air exercise in its history, Exercise Air Defender, in June, with over 220 aircraft and 10,000 participants from 24 nations. The exercise aims to project a united front in Europe as Russia's yearlong war in Ukraine slides toward stalemate. Around half of those assets will belong to the U.S. Air National Guard, which is dispatching units from 46 wings across the country, an unusual show of force for the part-time component.
