Germany is preparing to host one of the biggest air deployment drills in NATO’s history, in an effort to show off force intended to impress allies and adversaries like Russia, according to German and American officials in the country.
The Air Defender 23 drill will take place from June 12-23 and will see 10,000 participants and 250 aircraft from 25 nations train, in order to respond to a simulated attack on a NATO member country.
