USAF Sends F-35s, B-52s, F-15s to Europe as NATO Ministers Opt for More Deterrence
(Worthy News) – The U.S. Air Force sent F-35 fighters to Germany days after a B-52 Bomber Task Force arrived in England to reassure Allies amid increasing tensions in Eastern Europe. The deployments come as defense ministers from across the NATO alliance decided Feb. 16 to further strengthen deterrence and defense in response to Russia’s aggression on the Ukraine border.
The F-35s deployed from the 34th Fighter Squadron, 388th Fighter Wing, at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, on Feb. 16 to enhance NATO’s defense posture, according to U.S. Air Forces in Europe.
“This deployment is being conducted in full coordination with the German government and NATO military authorities, and although temporary in nature, it is a prudent measure to increase readiness and enhance NATO’s collective defense during this period of uncertainty,” USAFE spokesperson Capt. Erik Anthony said in a statement. [ Source: Air Force Magazine (Read More…) ]
