3022 - US Air Force augments Baltic Air Policing from Estonia (N)
- 2 years ago
US Military #News - The US Air Force has dispatched six F-15E Strike Eagles to bolster NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission.
The fighters, part of 4th Fighter Air Wing, came from Seymour Johnson Air Base and will fly alongside Belgian Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons that were already assigned to the Baltic Air Policing mission. Together, they will safeguard the airspace over the Baltic States from airspace safety violations while practising air-to-air and air-to-ground tactics. #USnews #USANews
Baltic Air Policing is a regular, peacetime mission intended to ensure safe airspace over and near the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. These countries don’t possess the necessary air policing capability, so other NATO Allies cover their airspace on a rotating basis.
Footage includes shots of US F-15s and Belgian F-16s, as well as interviews with the Commander of the Estonian Air Force., as well as Belgian and US officers.
