The US Air National Guard is preparing for the largest movement of forces across the Atlantic Ocean in its history. The service will send 100 aircraft to the US to take part in the Air Defender 2023 military exercise.

Here's What We Know The upcoming exercise will take place from June 12 to 22.

They are designed to demonstrate the US Air National Guard's ability to quickly deploy and use forces across Europe in the event that war in Ukraine spreads to NATO countries. Lieutenant General Michael Loh made the announcement.

The United States will send approximately 100 aircraft to Germany for the 10-day exercise. They include fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II fighters, upgraded fourth-generation F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft and the older F-15C Eagle along with the legendary A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft. They will be supported by Pegasus air refuelers.

Air Defender 2023 will be the first exercise in which Finland, as a NATO member, will participate. It has not yet received F-35 Lightning II fifth-generation fighters, so it will send F/A-18 Super Hornets. Ingo Gerhartz, Lieutenant General of the German Air Force, announced about it.

The German military officer reminded that Germany ordered F-35 fighters in 2022. Deliveries will start in 2027 and pilots will go to the US for training in 2026. The deal to buy 35 aircraft was worth $8.85bn.

US Air National Guard's ability to quickly deploy and use forces across Europe

/\

Why, why are our national guards being used outside of our country.?

It feels like Biden is doing everything possible to bleed out our readiness and ability to defend our country.

It’s an engineered war. Klassy has mentioned, in the past, that he wants to reduce the white population of the world so that they cannot resist his desire for a fascist world. So, of course all the WEF connected politicians are going to send their best armaments and leave their countries defenseless in the eyes of an aggressive China.

It’s been planned from the beginning.

Ummm, Finland is not a member of Nato, it hasn’t been voted on yet. Turkey is not “all in” on that Nation joining.

“The US Air National Guard is preparing for the largest movement of forces across the Atlantic Ocean in its history. The service will send 100 aircraft to the US to take part in the Air Defender 2023 military exercise.”

If those aircraft instead decide to go to Ukraine, my guess is that European cities start to vaporize, as I suspect that Russia is sick of playing this ‘we’re not at war with NATO’ game.

Yes. That’s definitely part of it.

If offered citizenship, these illegal males will gladly be the new black shirts for the regime.

With any luck we can have a land war in Europe and a naval war in Asia at the same time. That will drain everything we have as fast as possible.

US Air National Guard does not belong there. This is a direct act of war against Russia. This idiot we got is going to go start WWIII. The scuttlebutt is already hinting of full direct U.S. deployment against Russian lines.

F-35’s-I dunno. The enemy finds a way to get one intact. Then what?

A-10’s might be appropriate for the theatre.

I live in the flight path of a large military airfield. Before biden, conversations outdoors were frequently interrupted waiting on a plane to fly over because it was so loud. Now, I seldom see any planes flying. I mean DAYS go by with nothing. Used to have Chinooks and other Army helicopters flying all the time. F22 Raptors...lots of other jets. Big transport planes. There is NOTHING flying anymore.

Our military is NOT prepared

Jao Xiden has to pay off the RINOs and neocons if he wants that 10% kickback to keep coming.

The war mongers need more war. Despite the cost to citizens.

“”Why, why are our national guards being used outside of our country.?

.

Because abandoning Bagram Air Base just was not a big enough screwup, LGB has got to screw up our military forces right here in the US.

But the prog media will golf clap and proclaim CIC Crap-in-pants our greatest President since Washington.
