Spanish 🇪🇸 EF-18M Hornets and 🇹🇷 Turkish F-16s conducted familiarisation training with 🇪🇪 Estonian ground crews and maintainers at Ämari Air Base on Aug. 27, strengthening cooperation among Allies supporting NATO’s Baltic Air Defence mission.
On the ground, Estonian personnel refuelled Spanish aircraft, while Estonian firefighters and Spanish medical personnel reviewed rescue and emergency-response procedures. In the air, Spanish and Turkish fighters flew together to refine coordination and build a shared understanding of the operating environment.
Across NATO’s Eastern Flank, Italian Eurofighters are deployed to Lithuania, Turkish F-16s to Estonia, and Spanish fighters to Romania and Estonia. By training together from the beginning of each deployment, Allied forces can integrate rapidly, operate safely and respond effectively, strengthening NATO’s readiness and collective defence

Turkish F-16 fighter jets are guarding our skies from Ämari Air Base as part of NATO’s air defence mission.
Baltic Air Policing mission began on the same day Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania joined NATO in 2004. 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹
Originally based at Šiauliai in Lithuania, it was strengthened after Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014. Since then NATO fighters have also been based at Ämari, Estonia.
Fighters at both Ämari and Šiauliai remain on 24/7 readiness to protect Baltic skies.
It's a practical example of Allies sharing responsibility. Collective defence in action.
NATO aircraft will conduct training flights over #Estonia 🇪🇪 from 31 August–6 September, between 10:00 and 22:00.
The training may include low-level flights above 152 metres and supersonic flights. Sonic booms may be heard. ✈️

@sivastian58 Finler mi sovyete saldırdı? Adamlar ülkesini işgale karşı savundu sözde büyük güçlü sovyet fin keskin nişancılarına elek oldu. Nazi öldürünce suçlu sovyet soykırım yapınca kurtarıcı bu durumda sen ne oluyorsun?
@NejdetKaanA1923 Adamların kazandığı tek savaş yok. Suriye,Afrika(Libya örnek),Ukrayna,Karabağ ve Gürcistan tek başarısı yok her yeri kaybetti ama bizim ahraz avrasya tayfa hala putin övüyor
