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.

Message received, with the flooded news reports it is hard to separate wheat from chaff. Which is the purpose of the news churn.
Yes, but Jesus wrote the Old Testament, and changed not a letter or punctuation mark. He came to fulfill the sacrifices required, but the Holy days which people then substituted with pagan, have never set well Biblically with Elohim.
I just see things differently, and am not an expert. I can clearly see that Christianity in nearly every church is not teaching deeper truths. My own daughter tells me that reading the OT is blasphemous. She and her congregants agree on that one.
Dispensationalism will be the death many. People are worshipping a God that does not know them.
Eric Prince, the erstwhile CEO of Blackwater, said on a recent interview that the US had recently mothballed 50 F-15s, 50 F-16s, and 42 A-10s in Arizona. He also said he had recommended to some unidentified official that those planes be given to Ukraine with experienced pilots from US sources much like the Flying Tigers of WWII in China.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
Seems they don’t even know. There was still blockage. You know how the msm is. We’ll have to send someone in person to verify probably
Not important overall. What is, is the the continued push for war. Suicidal.
All 30 didn’t. Protocol is all must sign.
Either way, why does NATO exist? It should of died the day the Warsaw pact did. All we’re doing is pushing for war, playing into the elites hands.
When your kids are dying, don’t worry. Biden, Trudeau, macron et al are large and in charge and their deaths will serve the nwo and glory!
What nonsense is that?
Finland was accepted into NATO in the normal formal ceremony on Tuesday and you are still going on in some weird way and trying to deny it.
“”All 30 didn’t. “”
Of course they did, there is something wrong in your head that you are still locked into this fantasy of yours.
Finland is officially a NATO member and has been for days.
Depends on the source. My military sources are still saying two holdouts. No fantasies involved, just like to avoid fighting a war the elites orchestrate. You go ahead, you seem to love em so much.
“”Depends on the source. My military sources are still saying two holdouts.””
No wonder you guys are so mixed up all the time, you get your information from sources saying Finland being formally accepted into NATO is a worldwide fake conspiracy because two member countries are holding out on the vote?
Does it matter what NATO says, or the world’s entire media?
Did you think to go to NATO itself to see the announcement?

Finland joins NATO as 31st Ally
“Finland became NATO’s newest member today (4 April 2023), upon depositing its instrument of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty with the United States at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. NATO Allies signed Finland’s Accession Protocol on 5 July 2022, after which all 30 national parliaments voted to ratify the country’s membership.”
“The Finnish national anthem and the NATO hymn were played, as Finland’s flag was raised outside NATO Headquarters for the first time, in the presence of President Niinistö, Foreign Minister Haavisto, Defence Minister Kaikkonen, the foreign ministers of all NATO Allies and invitee Sweden. Simultaneous flag-raising ceremonies took place at Allied Command Operations (SHAPE) in Mons (Belgium) and Allied Command Transformation in Norfolk, Virginia (United States). Standing alongside President Niinistö, the Secretary General said: “Finland is safer and NATO is stronger with Finland as an Ally. Your forces are substantial and highly capable, your resilience is second to none and for many years troops from Finland and NATO countries have worked side-by-side as partners. From today, we stand together as Allies.”
World’s entire media said vaxx shots were required and really super.
I’ll wait til I have my own verification. Either way it’s a very serious provocation, of which you keep ignoring.
“”I’ll wait til I have my own verification.””
You have to be pulling our leg, no one is that stupid.
You don’t think that NATO and Finland are good sources for this?
I did 3 tours under NATO, I know all about em.
You’re ok with sending your kids to die in Ukraine?
“”I did 3 tours under NATO, I know all about em.””
Obviously not, you don’t even know how to look up NATO members.
Getting nuttier as you go.
So your kids and friend’s kids are ok to go die for Ukraine and the leftists running the show?
It’s a basic question.
LOL, I guess that means you are determined to not know that Finland is a NATO member now.
JHC you’re dumb.
I don’t get that you can’t answer something so basic, what Finland does or doesn’t do doesn’t affect that question.
You bet. I’m incredibly lacking any mental function for wanting secure borders, a future for my kids, no forced jabs forced onto people and natural law. A repeal of the current laws to be reset back to natural law that comes from God.
I’m also rightfully retarded because I’m unwilling to simply consume anything the media throws at me and I oppose vehemently any incursion by the left, be it drag time, propaganda or any other method to subjugate my kids. I’m extremely retarded because I don’t trust the gov when it wants to disarm me.
I know. Let’s just trust them about Ukraine. I’m sure it’s all ok.
Good Lord who’s the retard here? Do you own a mirror? Go stand in front, or if your legs don’t work because you’re a a weak addled fool, angle one down and stare into it.
