These aircraft, Bild, will be complemented by the German military in Poland, which, with the help of two batteries of the Patriot air defense system and other Eurofighter fighters, protect the country's airspace.
According to the press secretary of the German Air Force, which is quoted by the publication, this deployment is not only a clear signal of allied solidarity within the framework of NATO, but also “serves as a reliable means of restraining and protecting the general airspace,” said the Air Force speaker.
Russia and Belarus plan to hold joint exercises in September this year in the territory of the Republic of Belarus. Poland and the Baltic countries are afraid that this may be preparation for the attack on the Baltic countries, adds the media.
German fighters relocated to the airfield east of Warsaw from August 5 and stay there a little less than a month, DW said. For their service, about 150 Bundeswehr soldiers will be transferred there.
The Air Force of Germany, notes the publication, helps to protect the airspace of Poland since April 2025. However, earlier German fighters took off from the airfield near Rostok. Their relocation to Minsk-Mazovetsky was carried out at the request of Warsaw.
Context
Over the past years, the political and military leadership of European countries has several times declared the threat of a Russian attack. German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius said that Russia could attack NATO in 2029. The ex-Chancellor of Germany Olaf Sholts also declared a threat from the Russian Federation. According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Norway, Eirik Christophersen, NATO has two or three years to prepare for a probable war with Russia.
On May 28, Reuters wrote that NATO wants to ask Germany for an additional 40 thousand military (seven brigades) for the defense of the alliance. Also in September in Germany, large -scale military exercises were planned. Attention will focus on how quickly Hamburg can move 800 thousand military to the Baltic countries and Poland.
NATO believes that Russia can attack Europe in 2027. In particular, Poland may be under the blow, July 25, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported.
