Dutch F-35 fighter jets will guard NATO airspace over Eastern Europe. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands.
Details
Military equipment transferred to Ukraine by NATO countries must safely reach its destination. To this end, Dutch pilots will guard NATO airspace over Eastern Europe from September 1 to December 1, the agency said.
They added that Dutch Air Force pilots will operate together with a detachment of Norwegian Air Force F-35s. The fighters are on 24-hour alert to quickly respond to potential intruders in NATO airspace.
It is also noted that the Netherlands is deploying F-35s at the request of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE).
Recall
In Great Britain, the production of Eurofighter Typhoon fighters has practically stopped, the reason being the lack of new orders. If new orders are not received in the near future, there may be a loss of important industrial skills necessary for building next-generation fighters as part of Great Britain's participation in the Global Combat Air Program.
