This report provides illustration photos of European military troops and equipment participating in NATO exercises and training missions.

In May 2020, the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air Française) took the lead for NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission in Estonia. NATO’s Baltic Air Policing deployment is a defensive mission that sees allies sending planes to patrol the airspace of the three Baltic States, who do not have fighter jets of their own. The Air Policing programme keeps fighter jets on alert 24/7 and ready to scramble in case of suspicious air activity near the borders of Baltic Allies.
