French Frigate Sinks German Submarine in NATO's Largest Cold War-Era Drills

NATO is conducting its largest military exercises since the Cold War in northern Norway, involving 32 member nations, including newly joined Sweden, to send a clear message to Russia about its readiness to defend against any threat. The drills, part of the Nordic Response 2024 and Steadfast Defender 24 exercises, simulate real-life scenarios, such as hunting down and destroying enemy submarines, to prepare troops for potential conflicts. The inclusion of Sweden and Finland, both previously neutral, reflects a shift in public opinion due to Russia's aggression in Ukraine.
